The BLÍŽKSOBĚ Foundation had no chance to influence the Festival of freedom program nor did it request to do so. Any reflections on the relationship between the selection of participating presidential candidates and supporting the Jiří Drahoš campaign by the Foundation are therefore completely misleading and they purposefully connect completely independent projects supported by our Foundation. The BLÍŽKSOBĚ Foundation supported the Festival of freedom project with the amount of CZK 150,000 as one of many projects supporting the development of civic society.
