'Prague - Czech president-elect Milos Zeman said today he considers Communist (KSCM) lawmaker Miroslav Grebenicek a neo-Stalinist, in reaction to Grebenicek´s statement about the motives of Jan Palach´s self-immolation in 1969 that he made in the Chamber of Deputies on Friday.'
.......
'"The assertion that Jan Palach became a symbol of the struggle against the totalitarian communist power is totally misleading. Jan Palach did not set himself on fire in protest against the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia (KSC). He felt affection mainly for the reform communists," Grebenicek said on Friday.'
..........
'Palach, a student of medicine, set himself on fire on January 16, 1969 as a gesture to prevent the creeping lethargy in society after the Soviet-led occupation of Czechoslovakia that crushed the Prague Spring communist reform movement a few months before. He succumbed to the burns sustained three days later.'
