The results of all four referendums are within expectations. The outcome of the legislative referendum is very close, while the picture is much clearer for the consultative ones. There was no pronounced package voting, where the percentages for and against the individual referendums would be more comparable and closer together. Dr. Marko Hočevar, a political scientist and political analyst, stated that "the results of all four referendums are within expectations." #referendumi #politika #Slovenija (translated)

Andrej Fiskovec wrote that Ukraine will not acquire the necessary number of interceptors for the Patriot systems from the USA before winter, even though they are critically important. According to him, European money will remain with European arms manufacturers, who will then have to seek other buyers and save their reputation. He urged the Americans to take action against a person he derogatorily referred to as a clown, otherwise, he believes there will be nothing to piece together in foreign policy in two years. #Ukrajina #zbrojování #zahraničnípolitika (translated)

Roman Maca wrote that in Prague, where he believes the biggest problem is expensive and inaccessible housing, people cannot expect a different outcome if they first put a person at the forefront who acquires apartments from developers at low prices, and then replace him with someone who, in his opinion, operates in the housing sector in the same way. https://t.co/VdukUNakR2 #bydlení #Praha #politika (translated)

It's brutal. By one vote... Then one can wonder where they made a mistake and what they could have done better. I traveled to five towns, 26 villages, I organized a concert.

Angelika Bazalová wrote that Igor Chaun demonstrated a filmmaker's sensitivity to the moment during his meeting with fifteen-year-old students. She described their conversation as a testament to the times and was particularly amused by the moments when the girls were unsure how to spell his surname. She reminded the students that Chaun was among the student leaders of 1989 and stated that he had directed approximately 60 documentary and feature films, written a number of screenplays, including the screenplay for the 1992 film Requiem for a Doll, and directed Czech Soda. Bazalová also criticized that someone explained to Chaun why, in his opinion, a "spy in a jet" was acceptable. She compared it to the behavior of communist officials before the Velvet Revolution, who, according to her, preached equality but considered themselves superior. She wrote that the particular spy behaved similarly and referred to himself as "the first among equals." She recalled the concerns at the time that the country would return to the past after thirty years and expressed her pity for Chaun. Finally, she noted that the girl in the background was visibly fidgeting during her classmate's speech, which, according to her, might have meant that she was having a hard time with the situation. She added that Veronika might still change her mind as she gains more sense. #dokumentárnífilm #sametovárevoluce #historie (translated)

Dr. Bernd Baumann wrote that a political confrontation between two blocks is imminent. The SPD is moving towards collaboration with the Greens and forces he described as Islamist-left through its Berlin regional association. He interpreted this as a strategic withdrawal of the SPD from the Merz coalition and as the beginning of the next federal election campaign, which is oriented towards the successful camp election campaign of Schwesig. On the other hand, according to Baumann, the AfD is uniting citizens who demand an end to left-wing policies. The Union is being squeezed in between: it showcases its themes only to then negotiate again with left-wing parties. In this conflict, such a party is no longer needed, he wrote. #Politik #Bundestagswahl #SPD (translated)
