She added that today it is obvious how differently ordinary people view these \u201edemigods\u201c.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"wnd_TextBlock_9241770975595833015_inner_2\">The key problem, however, lies in the judiciary, according to Volfov\u00e1. <em>\u201eThe judicial system of Western Europe and the United States has failed. Former President Clinton and his wife do not have to testify - obviously because it would incriminate them. Judges blame each other, Democratic and Republican politicians argue, cases go unresolved for years, and today no one knows whether any sentences will be handed down at all.\u201c<\/em> Volf said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"wnd_TextBlock_9241770975595833015_inner_3\">The consequence, according to her, is the subordination of the judiciary to political demand and elite influence. <em>\u201eThe \u201ademigods\u2018 make up their own minds. And that is the fundamental difference between the vaunted West and the East, where - so far, thankfully - the courts are still based on firm rules, independent of politicians and wealth, and decide according to law, not money.\u201c<\/em> concluded Volfov\u00e1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"wnd_TextBlock_9241770975595833015_inner_4\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ksc4.cms.webnode.cz\/l\/volfova-epsteinova-kauza-odhaluje-zhrouceni-zapadniho-soudnictvi-a-dvoji-metr-polobohu\/#\"><strong>CMG<\/strong><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to Jana Volfov\u00e1, statutory vice-chair of the \u010cSSD, the Epstein case is not only a case of sexual offences, but above all a symptom of a deep moral and judicial failure of the entire...<\/p>","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":40989,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"video","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7,550],"tags":[18,10473,10474,9170,10476,10475],"class_list":["post-40987","post","type-post","status-publish","format-video","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politika","category-videa","tag-cmg","tag-dvoji-metr-elit","tag-epsteinova-kauza","tag-jana-volfova","tag-moralni-selhani-zapadu","tag-zapadni-soudnictvi","post_format-post-format-video"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gnews.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40987","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gnews.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gnews.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gnews.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gnews.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=40987"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/gnews.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40987\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":40988,"href":"https:\/\/gnews.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40987\/revisions\/40988"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gnews.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/40989"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gnews.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40987"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gnews.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=40987"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gnews.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=40987"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
