Czech President Vaclav Klaus is going viral on the Internet after making a not-so-smooth move during his visit to Chile. A video taken on 4 April shows Klaus slipping a ceremonial pen into his pocket during a news conference with his host, President Sebastian Pinera.
Czech television broadcast the video with red circles and arrows highlighting the pen. A spokesman for Klaus on Tuesday dismissed the media storm caused by the video, saying the pen was “a common pen with a logo of the state or office, which presidents and members of their delegation receive during state visits”. In fact, the pens are encrusted with semi-precious Chilean lapiz lazuili stones. However, a Pinera spokeswoman said the president’s guests were free to take them.
I think he didn't steal anything, may be, he just collects pens!?
