Lukáš Valášek wrote that the state-owned company Čepro has paid Agrofert over 19 billion crowns for contracts without a public tender since 2017. According to him, Čepro began to claim that it did not have to hold public tenders after the law prohibiting companies owned by politicians from obtaining public contracts came into effect. Valášek stated that the company has relied on the opinion of the then vice-chairwoman of the Office for Protection of Competition (ÚOHS), who left the office due to suspicions of manipulating decisions in favor of representatives of the ANO party, Jaroslav Faltýnek and Jiří Švachula. According to him, she signed the opinion before her departure. In preparing it, she was supposed to have used documents from the ministries led by Alena Schillerová and Karel Havlíček, which, according to Valášek, downplayed Čepro's exceptional position, even though it is captured in state strategies. According to Valášek, the government of Petr Fiala did not address the matter, and the ministries, now again under the control of Havlíček and Schillerová, do not want to reopen it based on their statements. Čepro also refused to inform him how many contracts it has already awarded to Agrofert under the new government of Andrej Babiš, despite the ÚOHS ruling that the company is subject to the information law at the request of the Pirate Party's analytical team. Valášek added that even the ÚOHS led by Petr Mlsna, whom Babiš appointed, did not see a reason for a review. According to Valášek, the Prime Minister decided whether the government would extend Mlsna's mandate for additional years. https://t.co/O1ekCFdPwn #Česko #politika #korupce (translated)

Tomáš Zdechovský wrote that after the intervention of the Russian data center, there was talk of a sharp decline in bot activity. If the decrease in fake accounts supporting people labeled as "flastenci" were also confirmed, he would consider it significant. He questioned whether it is compatible to declare allegiance to Czech sovereignty while simultaneously drawing technical support from Moscow. He added that the Czech debate should be led by real people and that, in his opinion, Kremlin troll farms would not be missed by anyone. #českápolitika #dezinformace #sociálnímédia (translated)

To be honest, I actually don't know if it was a happy choice. Nationwide politics and parliament have, I’m not afraid to say, minimal influence on the municipal level. You need to have people on the ground there. When I look at the Christian Democrats, even though they are weak in parliament or at the national level, with about 2.5 percent, they are huge in the municipalities," commented the Minister of Culture Oto Klempíř on this strategy. "For us, it is important to build an organization on the ground, to ensure its functioning and connectivity. This is an important goal because municipal elections have often been considered second-tier elections. However, I believe that this has changed and that municipalities are setting a very, very, very prestigious bar with their importance," Klempíř added. #volby #Praha #Motoristé (translated)

The author stated that the election results encouraged the opposition and its voters, but he described it as "wishful thinking" to consider them a turning point in political developments.

He mentioned that the outcome will be decided by the voters, but he did not finish his sentence. #volby #politika #opozice #CZ (translated)

David Rangl published a text that he described as a transcript of Andrej Babiš's response to a question regarding the ANO party's results in Prague. In it, Babiš was attributed with the claim that the movement did not lose, only received fewer votes, and that the result was bad. The text further connected the European Union with a green lemon, the electoral failure of Motorists with parking, and Tomio Okamura with not exceeding the five percent threshold. Babiš was also attributed remarks about the Pirates and Somalia, colonoscopies, and penguins that do not fly. According to the text, Karel Havlíček was supposed to prepare an eighteen-page analysis of penguin walking. #volby #politika #ANO (translated)

Jiří Hrebenar stated that Martin Král won one of the seven mandates in the municipal council in Černouček, receiving 104 candidate votes. According to him, he did not run for Motorists for themselves, but as an independent candidate on the local candidate list of the Association of Independent Candidates ČERNOUČEK 2026. Hrebenar reminded that Král is a member of Motorists for themselves, and the leadership of the party, led by Petr Macinka, Boris Šťastný, and Oto Klempíř, presented his election as a political success. However, according to Hrebenar, Motorists gained their member in the council, not a victory for their party candidate list. In response to Klempíř's remark that the residents of Černouček elected a king after the president, Hrebenar wrote that Petr Pavel still has permanent residence in the village, and his presidential mandate continues. According to him, the newly established council will decide on the mayor. The Association of Independent Candidates ČERNOUČEK 2026 gained four out of seven mandates, while the Černouček for themselves grouping got the remaining three. Hrebenar added that no coronation has taken place in the village yet. #Černouček #volby #politika (translated)

Jiří Hrebenar wrote that Jindřich Rajchl announced before the elections that he voted for the coalition of PRO, the Free Citizens, and the Oath in Hradec Králové. At the same time, according to Hrebenar, he criticized the Ukrainian flag at the school where the voting took place and called it "a blatant indoctrination of our children." Hrebenar stated that the coalition in Hradec Králové received 2.44 percent of the votes, finished eighth out of ten competing groups, and did not gain any representative mandate. Rajchl ran from the 37th position, and according to the author, the coalition did not surpass the five percent threshold. Hrebenar also wrote that 97.56 percent of the votes went to other candidates, and he described the result as a failure of Rajchl's political ambitions. #volby #politika #HradecKrálové (translated)

Radek Bartoníček stated that he concluded the report at the club in Prague's Smíchov before midnight, where students celebrated the advancement of their high school principal Radek Sáblík to the second round of the Senate elections. According to him, the students actively engaged in the contact campaign during their free time and were set to continue it from Sunday morning. In the Prague 5 district, Václav Láska was the first to advance to the second round, to whom Bartoníček also wanted to dedicate time during the week. He wrote that both candidates agreed at the beginning of the campaign not to attack each other, and in his opinion, they adhered to that agreement. Bartoníček added that he has been following the school for several years and that the students appreciate Sáblík, among other reasons, because they can implement a number of their own projects at the school. Sáblík ran with the support of ODS, KDU-ČSL, and STAN. #volby #Praha #středníškola (translated)
