In a commentary published on May 26, Kratky wrote that the President's State of the Nation address "indicated signs of mental incapacity to lead a country that is trying to join the modern and developed nations." The Office of the President cited Article 103 of the Penal Code, which stipulates that one who publicly defames the president for the performance of his duties or his activities in public life may be punished by up to a 2-year prison sentence, as the basis for their complaint.
