Imagine your president is tattooed from
head to toe. Sounds crazy? But believe it or not, Vladimir Franz a
leading Czech presidential hopeful is tattooed from head to toe. Since the breakup of Czechoslovakia, the Czech Republic has had two
presidents, Vaclav Havel and Vaclav Klaus, and both were elected by
Parliament. But both of those elections were plagued by charges of corruption, so the legislature handed over the vote to the general public.
Klaus, the incumbent, called the direct
elections “a fatal mistake” because someone like Franz might succeed
him. Klaus was at one time caught on camera 'stealing' the pen of Chilean president Sebastian Pinera.
It seems the people of Czech are now accustomed to intricacies of their presidents.
