Zdeněk Šarapatka stated that he was pleased with the election results and perceived them as a rejection of Andrej Babiš and his allies in power. He described the outcome as a promising beginning of a political story that could end with Babiš's downfall, labeling Babiš as a criminal. According to Šarapatka, voters may have been disillusioned by unfulfilled promises and empty wallets. He also mentioned seniors who, in his view, watched a video of Filip Turek with astonishment, in which Turek allegedly stubbed out a cigar on a fresh wind turbine. Šarapatka expressed pride in TOP 09. He claimed that the results challenged the opinions suggesting the party is insignificant and should merge with another. He reminded of the senatorial victories of party colleagues Třetina and Grulich, as well as the strengthening of the party in municipal and city councils. In Prague, according to him, despite an initial agreement, people around Marek Benda posed obstacles. He described TOP 09 as a party connected to the legacy of Karel Schwarzenberg, which he believes was not formed merely on slogans but has its own ideas. He therefore rejected the merger of the party. He praised the chairman Matěj Ondřej Havel for his energy, education, rhetorical skills, and frequent media appearances, although he stated that Havel does not appear convincing in streams. He urged the election winners to defend democracy. #volby #demokracie #politika (translated)

Tomas Kapler wrote that the company Apate has built a fleet of approximately 350,000 AI agents who impersonate trusting individuals and communicate with scammers for as long as possible. According to him, they gather information such as bank account numbers, cryptocurrency wallet addresses, phone numbers, and details about fraudulent websites and scenarios used. The company passes this data on to banks, telecommunications operators, and other institutions. Kapler reported that Apate has recorded over 2.5 million conversations with scammers, which together took about 17 years, and obtained more than 250,000 intelligence data points. He mentioned examples such as the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, which, according to him, saw publicly reported fraud losses drop by 76% after implementing the system, and TPG Telecom, which redirected nearly 590,000 suspicious calls to Apate's agents. One other Australian bank, according to his post, broke up 22 fraudulent campaigns based on the information obtained. He added that the company secured $8.15 million in a seed round in August 2026, just shy of $10 million in total, and planned to expand into London and the United States. Kapler also wrote that Apate expected the proliferation of AI among scammers would lead them to spend more time communicating with its agents instead of potential victims. Finally, Kapler asked whether a similar system would work in Czech. He noted that Czech models may not be as advanced, but older individuals might not regard any mishearing or misunderstanding as a sign of artificial intelligence. He also mentioned that fraudulent AI farms from India, China, Russia, and Ukraine might not recognize such a deception. #AI #podvodníci #technologie (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)

The author of the article attributed to Jan Grolich the criticism that while, according to him, it was not possible to cut mandatory expenditures, there were funds for 8 billion for agro-barons and for energy price equalization, while the promised pension reform had not arrived. Grolich added, according to the article, that his "dual clause" worked a little differently. https://t.co/LsHNraRXHw #politika #ekonomie #důchody (translated)

Tomio Okamura stated that they were preparing a law on the transparency of financing political non-profit organizations from abroad, as well as a proposal for the deportation of foreigners committing criminal acts. He also mentioned the law "My house, my castle," under which residents would always be in the right when defending themselves during an attack. In the fall, they wanted to submit a proposal guaranteeing citizens the right to pay in cash. Okamura further stated that all pension recipients should receive a one-time contribution of 2,000 CZK and that they wanted to abolish the current inclusion in education. He also called for the EU to negotiate with Russia and Ukraine to end the war, to reject ETS 2 emission permits, and to make illegal border crossing by migrants a criminal offense. He also announced an intention to establish an investigative committee for the Dozimetr case. #politika #zákony #společnost (translated)

The author of the article wrote that an increase of two thousand in pensions may be pleasing, but according to him, the government of Andrej Babiš did not address who will take care of parents and grandparents when they need help. Instead of another blanket handout of money, he proposed investing 5 billion in social services and stated that a dignified old age is not just a matter of the amount of pension. #důstojnéStáří #sociálníSlužby #vláda #CZ (translated)

Vojtěch Boháč wrote that twenty-six-year-old Ilja Meškov, who according to him left Russia eight years ago, graduated from the University of Economics in Prague and a school in Texas, and after six years in the Czech Republic obtained Czech citizenship. According to Boháč, he became a partner in a Czech company focused on investments in European data centers for artificial intelligence within two years, responsible for venture capital. Boháč stated that Meškov's father is a Russian military colonel who heads a department at Bauman Moscow State Technical University, and his mother previously worked in the army and at this university. She is now, according to him, retired and has a Czech visa since this year; she travels to Prague as the wife of an active Russian colonel and career military officer. Boháč also claimed that ordinary Russians find it very difficult to obtain a visa to the Czech Republic after 2022. Citing an article that he believes described the story, Boháč posed questions about how Meškov's mother managed to obtain a visa, who has access to key data infrastructure in the EU, and how to assess the privacy of young Russians from military families who, according to him, have never actually distanced themselves from the activities of their relatives. #Investice #Kyberbezpečnost #UměláInteligence (translated)

David Rangl, in an ironically toned post, claimed that the intervention of Russian data centers caused chaos in the Czech pro-Russian scene. According to him, disinformation websites and trolls stopped receiving instructions, so some people had to form their own opinions. Rangl described that the SPD convened a crisis staff, which, according to him, after several hours came up with several contradictory explanations: either the attack did not occur, Russia repelled it, or it could have been Brussels, NATO, migrants, and Petr Fiala to blame. He also mentioned a demand for the government's resignation without a clearly stated reason. According to him, on the alternative scene, one influencer condemned Russian aggression, another published photos of burning servers as evidence of Russian victory, and another began promoting Russia's accession to NATO. Jindřich Rajchl, according to Rangl, demanded a parliamentary investigative committee due to the decline in followers. The post further described the extinguished premises of the Stačilo! movement, non-functional stamp machines at the Václav Klaus Institute, and the vaccination of the Svatopluk association against rabies at a veterinary station. The situation was eventually calmed by a chain email that blamed events on Soros, Ukrainian pensioners, and a secret NATO lab in Uzhhorod. Rangl concluded that Russian servers were gradually returning to operation, while the damages to the Czech "patriotic scene" could be irreversible, as some people realized during the outage that they could think independently. #ČeskáRepublika #dezinformace #vlastenectví (translated)

The author identified the main story of the elections as the decline of ANO and SPD in poorer regions and stated that according to the number of represented citizens, i.e., effective mandates, they suffered significant losses. He claims that the government parties are paying the price for having done almost nothing for regional development so far, nor having prepared a plan, and they are not helping the lower working class. He added that relying solely on pensions is not enough. https://t.co/59nN5hjHkK #volby #politika #regiony #CZ (translated)
