A journalist wrote that Andrej Babiš described Jan Grolich as a comedian and entertainer due to his campaign videos. He criticized the ANO movement, which he claimed had long resembled a production company: he mentioned Alena Schillerová's performances in front of the camera, Karel Havlíček in a podcast, and Babiš in a solo show. He pointed out that Grolich had obtained over 63% of the votes in the Vyškov region and won in the first round. According to the author, Babiš was not bothered by political entertainment but by the fact that voters were enjoying themselves with someone else. He congratulated Grolich on his victory and wrote that he had used the main weapon of ANO against the movement itself. #politika #volby #komedie (translated)

Michal Sirový evaluated his prediction of the municipal election results in Prague and stated that it was successful, especially compared to the polls. He noted that the total error for the seven strongest parties was 11.8 percentage points, while IPSOS reached 20.5, SC&C 23.0, and Median 28.1. He added that the polls were collected about a month before the elections, which he stated partially explained their double error compared to his prediction. He identified his biggest mistakes as undervaluing STAN and overestimating ANO. According to him, he estimated the results for SPOLU, PS, and the Pirates almost precisely. In conclusion, he wrote that he hoped his election reporting entertained the readers. #volby #predikce #Praha (translated)

Petr Švec questioned whether Radka Denemarková's speech represented courage. He wrote that she spoke at an event that he labeled a symbol of liberal mainstream, in front of an audience with similar views and repeated what he considered the common positions of this group. He considered the expression of opinions that could lead a person to lose their social standing or result in public rejection or media criticism as true courage. He added that these would also be topics that people like Denemarková, in his opinion, associate with lower classes and social status. He labeled her appearance as standard conformism. #odvaha #konformismus #kritika (translated)
