On 16th December 2006 Exarch L. Hu?ko uttered a public declaration on the web-page of the Exarchate, stating that he had never come into any contact with StB and that he likewise had never even spoken with them.
This declaration has a certain form of oath.
Those who know the situation at that period in the communist CSSR will reply to him that he is publicly lying.
However, if he is telling the truth, then Bishop L. Hu?ko has publicly revealed that the Focolare leadership collaborated on higher level with the totalitarian system of Communism and with its secret police – StB.
It is necessary that this matter be solved within the framework of justice, and not be pharisaically wrapped in silence.
