"I do not agree with the installation of a US military base on Czech
Republic territory, as part of their NMD (National Missile Defense)
project. The implementation of this project is increasing international
tensions, generating a new arms race and is the first step towards the
militarization and control of space. Since more than two thirds of the
Czech population are against this project, I think it is only fair that
the Czech people have the right to decide on such an important question
by means of a referendum."
