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)

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)

Kutil Tona ironically wrote that he would not be able to get to the USA due to jokes about Donald Trump, of which he claims to have written more than Trump has read books. He would rather not go to Russia because he feared tea flavored with novichok. In Germany, he would have to wish that the AfD does not come to power, otherwise, according to him, he would be arrested just for the correct pronunciation of the word democracy. Upon returning to the Czech Republic, Andrej Babiš would not sell him even a sausage made from separate meat as punishment. In conclusion, he added that at least the Poles are friends. #humor #politika #satira (translated)
