The peak of poverty is trying to cover up the budget massacre of this government by pointing at Ukrainians. Especially when their work, taxes, and contributions help finance it. And Tomio Okamura is demonstrating his cheapest discipline: instead of taking responsibility, finding a vulnerable group and pointing a finger at them. (translated)

The proposals of the government coalition are so full of holes that the consultation process would shred them apart; the easiest way is to push them through as parliamentary proposals, without an explanatory report and without space for oversight. The result is legislative monstrosities stitched together hastily. Citizens, businesses, and the state pay the price for them. (translated)

The deficit will actually be well above 400 billion. And if it were just up to this government and how to cover its own spending, it would be able to take us to a trillion 👎 That’s why we are turning to the Constitutional Court. The rules of budgetary responsibility are not for decoration. They apply to Babiš's government as well. (translated)

The government says it wants the deficit below 3% of GDP. However, it has opened up the possibility of exceeding this limit! If it doesn't want to take this option, why does it need it? And how can we trust it when it is led by a judicially convicted liar? I have written down in points what absurdities they voted for 👇 (translated)

They overruled the president's veto. They threw our warnings into the trash. They loosened the rules of budget responsibility and are driving the Czech Republic straight into a wall. This is a conscious gamble with the country's future. After all, you can't veto the debt. We will all pay for it. And especially our children and grandchildren will suffer the consequences. (translated)

Consciously indebting the country and leaving the bill for our children is a political crime. We in TOP 09 warn against this gamble and refuse to silently watch it happen. (translated)

„Před námi není stejná situace jako minule. Od našeho posledního hlasování přibyly nové skutečnosti. Přibylo podrobné stanovisko prezidenta republiky,“

Koalice se chystá přehlasovat prezidentovo veto. Hlasy máme, vzkazuje

When the government doesn't like the rules of budgetary responsibility, they simply rewrite them instead of managing responsibly. It's like allowing fouls in football without cards. Our children and grandchildren will pay the bill. And every government MP who raises their hand for it bears the responsibility.👎 (translated)

August 1968: Soviet tanks were killing our citizens, driving people from their homes, and plunging our country into darkness. Today, Ukraine is experiencing similar brutality. The same imperial logic, the same lies, the same cynicism. To forget about August 1968 would mean to reconcile with injustice and unfreedom. (translated)

Every new finding about Filip Turka and his actions only confirms the following: it is very good that the president refused to appoint him as minister, he should never have received the position of government commissioner, and he should have long since resigned from his parliamentary mandate. (translated)

Slibovali levnější energie. Teď Karel Havlíček říká, že se máme připravit na jejich zdražování. 👎 Slibovali levnější hypotéky. Jsou dražší. 👎 Poučovali nás o šetření. Sami spustili rozpočtové harakiri a chtějí si rozvolnit rozpočtová pravidla. 👎 Vláda nesplněných slibů. #levnějšíenergie #hypotéky #vládanesplněnýchslibů

The panopticon of this government: • The carpenter is coming up with another monstrosity. Cultural organizations and unions oppose it. • Mortgages have become more expensive for the 5th month in a row and are the most expensive in 2 years. • Babiš is again attacking the EU and complaining about how much we send to it. “In detail”, we receive more than we contribute. (translated)

When the International Federation of Journalists publicly condemns Babiš's government for its approach to media freedom and reminds it that "no government can decide what journalism is acceptable and what is not," it is an international disgrace and another acceleration on the path to Fico's Slovakia. Shame. (translated)

In July, the budget deficit was 212.4 billion crowns. And it will get worse! They want to make such numbers the new norm by relaxing budget rules. In the current economic situation, it is economic suicide, which unfortunately pulls the whole country down. (translated)

• Babiš's government is counting on a deficit of around 350 to 370 billion. • It wants to loosen the debt rules. • Leading economists warn against higher taxes and cuts in pensions. • In the language they themselves used: YES is robbing pensioners. Black on white - a government of national disaster. (translated)

Every government press conference turns into attacks on journalists instead of answering questions. And now to publicly celebrate someone like Zdíša? That is absolutely beyond the behavior of a prime minister. Even a butcher's dog wouldn't behave like this. (translated)

I appreciate that the president returned the budget law back to the Chamber. I warned that it is a dangerous proposal that shifts the bill to our children and grandchildren, weakens budgetary responsibility, and opens the door to insane borrowing. Such a law would cause a disruption of public finances. (translated)

The government is attacking the Constitutional Court and its judges directly. Primarily, however, it wants to overshadow its own despair: • expensive mortgages • inaccessible housing • budgetary harakiri • foreign embarrassment • unresolved conflict of interest • scandal after scandal of its politicians (translated)

Amid the flood of Turkov's madness behind the wheel, suspicions surrounding Foldyna and attacks on the president MUST NOT OBSCURE this: Oto Klempíř is pushing Czech Television and Czech Radio under the state budget, despite his own ministry warning of political influence and corruption risks. I am fighting against this and will continue to fight. (translated)

Let's summarize yesterday's events surrounding the GOVERNMENT commissioner Filip Turek: he doesn't give way to an ambulance, downplays the injuries of the driver, damages life-saving medical equipment, and finally makes a joke about the whole thing on Instagram. Mr. Prime Minister @AndrejBabis, have you dismissed him yet? Right? (translated)
