Michal Sirový wrote that the greatest impact of the municipal and Senate elections on national politics will be determined more by how the media reports on them than by the results themselves. According to him, the media has established an image of a total defeat for ANO, a success for Grolich, and STAN as the leader of the opposition. According to Sirový, ANO did not win; however, he labeled its decline as an expected result of elections amidst a term, not as a "slaughter." He stated that Grolich achieved an excellent result and advanced from the first round, but benefited from not having competition from the rest of the opposition in his Senate district. Sirový also reminded that Grolich led the party with a three percent support. He described the strengthening of STAN in municipalities and the defense of its positions in the Senate as the most interesting real story. According to him, the party surpassed ODS in both results and public perception, becoming the leader of the opposition. Sirový compared this to the previous four-year period when the Pirates and ODS vied for this position. The impact of this change, he believes, will be shown by time. Sirový also mentioned that he is curious whether Andrej Babiš will respond to this image with greater changes that could also lead to mistakes, or if he will realize that, in his opinion, he lost primarily in media headlines, not in the elections. #volby #politika #ČeskáRepublika (translated)

Vláďa Foltán stated that Volodymyr Zelensky hoped that Donald would change his decisions, which he considered flawed and which, according to him, would not help Ukraine or the United States. According to Foltán, Zelensky also expressed hope that Donald would change his approach to Putin, with whom, according to Zelensky, it was impossible to compare because Putin was the aggressor. https://t.co/Zq0ebS2vsS #Zelenskyj #USA #Putin (translated)

The real estate buyer wrote that he had been involved in the real estate market for eleven years and began to publicly present himself under his own name at the end of 2022. In mid-2023, he stated that he started to point out that property prices had already fallen sufficiently, and his team began to buy. A year later, he claimed it turned out that they were buying almost at the bottom of the market. He noted that since the end of 2023, they had been making one acquisition after another and at the same time helped nearly 70 families acquire their own housing. By the end of 2024, he said he started to limit investment purchases because prices were distancing from economic reality and purchasing power. In 2025, he described the market as less rational and began to publicly recommend selling some properties. By the end of the year, according to him, they sold more than they bought, and properties that no longer made sense in terms of returns and costs were mostly sold at peak market prices. The real estate buyer stated that some clients had approved mortgages with a rate around 4.4% and at least a two-year term for drawing. He also wrote that the number of apartments on the public market increased by 35% and mortgage rates reached 5.4%. He added that his experience led him to encourage people to rely on their own judgment when making decisions, but to be prepared to bear the consequences of any mistake. #nemovitosti #investice #realitnítrh (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)

Vladimír Votápek labeled Donald Trump's effort to reach an agreement with Vladimir Putin as a fundamental mistake. He considered the main risk to be that Trump would pressure Kyiv to stop attacks on Russian refineries. According to Votápek, these represented the strongest leverage that Volodymyr Zelensky had to compel Putin to engage in serious talks about ending the fighting. Votápek stated that if Ukraine does not give up its effective weapon, Trump could significantly limit American aid, including the sharing of intelligence, which Europe, in his view, is currently unable to replace. He linked Trump's effort to negotiate with Russia to the impacts of the attack on Iran on oil and petroleum product prices and to concerns about Republican results in the midterms. He argued that any pressure on Ukraine could prolong the war and increase losses for the Ukrainian army and suffering for civilians. He also shared a headline suggesting that Russia was supposed to supply the USA and the world with nearly five million tons of diesel. https://t.co/QQSWEJQMjE #Trump #Putin #Ukrajina (translated)

I have always emphasized that I consider elections to be extremely important for citizens to express their opinions. I have also always emphasized that the president, as the first among equals, should lead by example. I am glad that I could correct this mistake, let's say, in judgment, because we all make mistakes, even presidents. Therefore, I consider this matter closed. I am glad that I could do it this way and let citizens know that they should go vote too," said Pavel. #PetrPavel #volby #Českopolityka (translated)

The real estate buyer wrote that the rising market, in his opinion, has obscured serious mistakes and that cheap money, strong demand, insufficient supply, and inflation attributed some real estate investors' achievements to returns they regarded as the result of their own strategies. He stated that some presented their life accidents as a proven guide, even though he believes it cannot be repeated under current conditions. He described the next decade as less favorable and emphasized that quality and consistent portfolio management will be more important than its overall size. He added that time is rapidly running out to rectify previous mistakes. #realitnítrh #investice #inflace (translated)

Jura Háček thanked Petr Pavel and labeled him a good president. He believed that people considered it a major mistake that he did not fly halfway around the world to cast his ballot in Černouček. Háček denounced the criticism as exaggerated and wrote that insignificant matters were being dealt with in the Czech Republic and discussed to the extreme. He reminded that, in his opinion, people did not appreciate the government of Petr Fiala and, in the meantime, grew accustomed to Petr Pavel. He claimed that Babiš's voters would have supported their politician in similar circumstances instead of criticizing him and would have wished him a nice vacation. Háček also stated that some previously labeled Fiala as weak and criticized his dismissal of Ivan Bartoš via SMS as well as the gesture of rabbit ears. He linked the current conditions to the fact that, according to him, Andrej Babiš and Tomio Okamura are now in government, and in the Chamber of Deputies, there are people whom he labeled with derogatory terms. He warned that continued criticism of the president could lead to similar people getting to Prague Castle, after which, according to him, Pavel and the First Lady of public life would resign. #politika #prezident #Česko (translated)

Michal Sirový stated that a NY Times poll for the key Senate elections showed Talaric with a 6-point lead in Texas, which he said was almost at the margin of error. According to him, the lead in Alaska was significant. He added that the poll confirmed the results of other surveys from Kansas, according to which Democrats had a chance to win a Senate seat there for the first time since 1932. He described the situation as "a slaughterhouse." https://t.co/0d2pHyIwI4 #volby #senát #průzkum (translated)
