I thought that specifically Leo Steiner, who is very popular in Louny, would get more votes or take them from me, and that it would be a close decision among the three candidates just like it was six years ago.

It has been confirmed that Andrej Babiš lied again and has not resolved his conflict of interest at all. The Czech Republic must immediately stop the disbursal of all subsidies to companies associated with the Prime Minister and review the subsidies granted so far.

I am not an advocate of revolt. I do not believe that by replacing one person something will break and change. There are many shortcomings there.

If it were a failure of local politicians, there would be no need to talk about it. But the result is a universal decline of the entire political party. This means that it is a question of the system. If we don't make some sort of refresh in terms of programs, but also in terms of personnel, we will not learn from this defeat. A more critical perspective is provided by MP Jaroslav Foldyna from SPD: "If it were a failure of local politicians, there would be no need to talk about it. But the result is a universal decline of the entire political party. This means that it is a question of the system.

The risk of a repeat of the energy crisis of 2021 to 2022 therefore remains low, although not zero, according to us. A combination of an extremely harsh winter and a significant disruption in LNG supplies could lead to a worse development," Rusinko told Novinky. #plyn #Evropa #ceny (translated)
