Tomas Jirsa questioned whether France still represented a model of liberal Western democracy and the pinnacle of positive European integration, at the head of which, according to him, stood the "amazing Emmanuel." He contrasted this image with France, which he portrayed as an over-indebted collapsed state incapable of ensuring internal security, relying on a glorious past and led by an incompetent egomaniac. #demokracie #Evropa #politika (translated)

Vít Ulrych wrote that when ANO wins the elections, it celebrates and calls on the opposition to accept its defeat, while after a loss, it wants to change the electoral system according to him. He described the party's approach as considering voters' decisions correct in victory but questioning the rules in defeat, and he asked whether ANO respects the will of the voters. https://t.co/XDox2UkNhE #demokracie #politika #volby (translated)

Kutil Tona described Radek Vondráček as a "born democrat" and wrote that he believes ANO will not succeed in the senatorial elections, and therefore he will propose a change to the electoral system. According to him, such a procedure seemed logical to Vildumetzová, who claimed that voters are confused. Tona pointed out the contradiction: when people vote for ANO, they are considered wise, while in another vote they are seen as confused. According to him, ANO should examine its own policies instead of looking for problems in the electoral system. #politika #volby #demokracie (translated)

Kutil Tona asked whether critics minded that the citizens of Plzeň chose a candidate they did not consider sufficiently connected to the city. He reminded them that Andrej Babiš repeatedly ran in regions where he did not live and pointed out politicians who changed their permanent residence due to candidacy. He stated that he did not deny the candidate's abilities, work ethic, or that she could have done something for Plzeň. However, he labeled her candidacy for the ANO movement as a political disadvantage, as it had been associated with so many scandals and controversies that part of the electorate did not trust it. According to him, the result was not evidence of the voters' incapacity, but a consequence of the reputation that ANO had built for itself. He urged critics to think about why voters preferred another candidate instead of insulting them and added that voters did not have to vote according to their expectations. #Plzeň #Politika #VolebníPráva (translated)

David Rangl published a political satire in the style of "Hey people," in which he mocked the reactions to the Senate elections. Its fictional narrator claimed that his party objectively won the elections, even though it did not gain any senators according to the text. He attributed the result to voters, the media, and artists, referencing Patrik Nacher and Klempíř. In a passage about Cheb, Rangl wrote that Sandra Tsoukernik received 27 percent in the first round and almost 29 percent in the second, while Plevný had 71 percent according to the text. The satirical narrator emphasized the alleged growth of support and recalled seven concerts by Michal David. Rangl also parodied the narrator's remarks about Karviná and Orlová, Karel's trip to India, where he was supposed to have 25 meetings, and the meeting with Zelensky in Brussels. He labeled the Senate as unnecessary and wrote that the party would first win it, then abolish it, and possibly re-establish it. In conclusion, he stated that it was political satire and that readers should wait for the real "Hey people." #volby #politika #českárepublika (translated)
