6.11.2022 dávali v televízii starý slovenský film Zemianska česť, na ktorý sme takmer zabudli. Nevieme, či ho v telke dávali v súvislosti s práve ubehnuvšími voľbami alebo hroziacimi predčasnými voľbami do parlamentu, ale či už tak alebo onak, načasovanie nemohlo byť lepšie. Ide totiž o satiru na predvolebnú frašku sfilmovanú podľa románu Jána Kalinčiaka Reštavrácia.

Napriek tomu, že román pochádza z roku 1860, je až neuveriteľné, ako nadčasovo je napísaný, pretože charaktery a charakteristiky postavičiek, ako aj ich správanie, možno napasovať na všetky politické figúrky, ktoré sme u nás doposiaľ mali a stále máme. No a rovnako aj na voličov, ktorí tieto politické figúrky volia.

Repríza televíznej klasiky nás priviedla k zamysleniu, kde sú korene takého správania a takých charakterov. Vzhľadom na dobu, kedy román vznikol, je zrejmé, že s tým určite nemá nič spoločné obdobie socializmu, na ktoré sa často zvaľuje všetko zlé, čo sa u nás dialo a deje. Takto sme sa správali už dávnom pred socializmom. Je to teda v nás, v národe, v našich génoch, že sme takým falošným, úplatným, bezzásadovým a bezcharakterným národom? Necháme sa kúpiť za klobásu či poldeci pálenky?

Odkaz románu do dnešnej doby

Dá sa teda pobaviť a zasmiať aj na takom starom filme? Určite áno, najmä keď si v jeho hrdinoch predstavíme naše súčasné politické postavičky. Realita dnešných dní však, bohužiaľ, nie je ani trochu zábavná, takže ide skôr o smiech cez slzy.

Ako sa to vo filme vlastne skončilo? Všetci sa pobratali, funkcie si podelili a obidve bandy vládli v podstate spolu. Nikoho ani vtedy nezaujímalo, ako je na tom krajina, ako sa vodí obyčajnému ľudu. Za všetko hovoria posledné slová filmu: „Nuž, ľa! Čo sa statočný zeman natrápi, kým vyjde na psí tridsiatok!“. A čo tak parafráza na súčasnú dobu: „Nuž, ľa! Čo sa statočná Slovač natrápi, kým vyjde na psí tridsiatok!“.

Nuž, od toho asi už nemáme ďaleko, keďže sa od Kalinčiakových čias vlastne nič nezmenilo. Ale môže sa, stačí iba odstaviť podarených politikov a hlavne volebný systém, ktorý im šafárenie umožňuje. Práve preto je tu tento portál, aby poukázal, kde je podstata tohto zla. Kým si neuvedomíme tieto fundamentálne okolnosti, nie je možné ani hľadať riešenia.

Román Reštavrácia a film Zemianska česť tak ostávajú nielen skvelou komédiou, ale aj mementom, že tváre sa síce menia, no politické taktiky ostávajú zhruba rovnaké. Voľby boli, sú a vždy budú iba fraškou pre verejnosť, zorganizovanou ziskuchtivými a mocibažnými indivíduami.

  18. ‚Tis the season for decadence and a touch of sparkle – and what better way to bring festive cheer
    than a fridge full of fizz for parties and impromptu gatherings?

    Champagne is admittedly my bubbly of choice – I love both poised, elegant styles with brisk acidity
    and the richer, pastry-like, gastronomic pours.
    But with Christmas all about sharing, toasting, and big get-togethers, stocking up is essential.

    Consumer group Which? has named Tesco Finest Premier Cru Brut Champagne the best Christmas fizz, outclassing Moët & Chandon’s Brut Impérial.
    The supermarket fizz costs just £25 a bottle,
    but many popular Champagnes are priced over £40.

    With that in mind, I’m sharing my secrets for sparkling swaps that keep both the palate and
    the wallet happy.

    Bollinger Champagne, £58

    Swap for? Langlois Crémant Brut Réserve NV, £15.95

    Saving: £42.05 a bottle 

    For Bolly bling without the sting, head to the Loire Valley, where the Bollinger family crafts this Crémant using the same traditional method as their Champagnes.
    Made primarily from Chenin Blanc, which thrives in the Loire, it undergoes 24 months of aging, delivering a Crémant with depth that offers a charming
    twist on Bollinger’s rich Champagne style – with change to spare.

    Louis Roederer Cristal Champagne, £280

    Swap for? Roederer Estate Quartet NV, £32

    Saving: £248 a bottle 

    Renowned producer Louis Roederer is the name behind the iconic
    Cristal Champagne – a prized choice among celebrities,
    especially when served in a flashy jeroboam,
    complete with sparklers in the ‘VIP section‘ of nightclubs.
    But if the £270 price tag brings tears to your eyes, try Cristal’s Californian cousin, Quartet.
    Crafted in the cool Anderson Valley, it offers a taste of luxury for almost a tenth of the cost.

    Laurent Perrier Rosé Champagne, £80

    Swap for? Morrisons The Best Crémant De Limoux Rosé NV,
    £12.50

    Saving: £67.50 a bottle 

    If you’re after something pink, grab this super chic Crémant de Limoux from Morrisons – delivering luxe
    for less. With a delicate effervescence and notes of strawberries and cream, it hints
    at pink Champagne at five times the price. And here’s a little-known fact: legend has it that the art of fizz was first
    discovered in Limoux, in the South of France – though our friends in Champagne may disagree.

    Ace of Spades Champagne, £315

    Swap for? Segura Viudas Brut Vintage Premium Cava, £12

    Saving:  £303 a bottle

    For showstopping-style on a shoestring, skip Harrods, forget Jay-Z’s red-carpet-ready ‘Ace of Spades‘ and head to Sainsbury’s for
    Segura Viudas premium cava, complete with a shield that’s delightfully close to a spade.
    For the price of one bottle of that Champagne, you could bag
    26 bottles of this classy cava – and, honestly, after a few glasses, who’s noticing
    the difference?

    Ruinart Blanc de Blancs Champagne, £89

    Swap for? Fortnum’s Franca Contea Franciacorta
    Brut NV, £26.50

    Saving: £62.50 a bottle

    ‘Blanc de Blancs‘ meaning ‘white of whites‘ is the name
    for bubbles made solely from white grapes – typically Chardonnay in Champagne, delivering elegance and finesse, à la Ruinart.
    Prices have crept up as Blanc de Blancs become all the rage, but hop over the border to the hidden gem of Franciacorta in Lombardy, northern Italy, and you’ll find complex, vinous
    sips with plenty of flair, like this Fortnum’s pick.

    Pol Roger Champagne, £55

    Swap for? Graham Beck Selection Sparkling Wine, £13.50

    Saving:  £41.50 a bottle

    I served these delicious South African bubbles at my wedding – quaffed in record time,
    with nobody realising it wasn’t Champagne. As well as my own big day, Graham
    Beck has made an appearance at state events for Nelson Mandela
    and Barack Obama, earning it the title of ‘presidential pick‘ for sparkling wine.
    And you’ll save a few quid compared to other politician favourites, like Pol Roger.

    Mumm Champagne, £39

    Swap for? Mumm Marlborough Brut Prestige, £25

    Saving:  £14 a bottle

    From Marlborough, New Zealand’s premier region and home of top Brit sip, Sauvignon Blanc,
    comes a fresh take on fizz. Blessed with sunshine and a cool climate, Marlborough
    produces wines that are vibrant and crisp. Here, a blend of traditional
    Champagne varieties – Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier – offers an easy-drinking, bright character, and a
    great value sub for Mumm’s beloved bubbles.

    Veuve Clicquot Champagne, £48

    Swap for? Veuve Monsigny Champagne Brut NV, £14.99

    Saving:  £33.01 a bottle

    First launched over a decade ago at £12.99, Aldi has miraculously kept
    their best-selling Veuve Monsigny Champagne under £15. For a sprightly, quaffable style, it’s unbeatable at that price – perfect for Buck’s
    Fizz at Christmas Day brunch, canapés, and a refreshing
    post-turkey sip. It’s worth mentioning that the Premier Cru label at £21.99 is a real step
    up and fantastic value too.

    Moët & Chandon Champagne, £44

    Swap for? Chandon Brut Argentina, £23

    Saving: £21 a bottle 

    From Champagne giant Moët & Chandon, Chandon Brut is a Champagne-style bubbly from Mendoza, Argentina.

    If you’re thinking Mendoza is known for its hot climate and big,
    bold Malbec reds, think again – Chandon’s vineyards are situated
    in the foothills of the Andes at over 1,000 metres,
    where cooling influences help retain that desirable freshness in the grapes.
