DISINFO: "Czechia": The change of the name of the Czech Republic...

SUMMARY

“Czechia”: The change of the name of the Czech Republic in the UN is the start of the destruction of national identity. Berlin is behind this process, as it aims to build the Fourth German Empire.

RESPONSE

There was no change of the name of state, only its shortened version has been registered in the UN. The term Czechia has much longer history: it has its roots in the 17th century and is used in English since the 19th century. // No evidence for further conspiracy theories given.
