Ciril noted that the group he derogatorily referred to as Kučan's mafia failed to appoint another of its loyal candidates to the Supreme Court. He believed that a person with a controversial reputation should not become a Supreme Court judge, while attributing a statement to Andreja Katič, a member of the SD party, claiming that it is about undermining the foundations of democracy. He added that such a reaction is typical of the left and accused the candidate of violating human rights. He questioned how many controversial people are already on the Supreme Court and also criticized the composition of the Constitutional Court. #demokracija #sodstvo #Slovenija (translated)

Jakub Janda stated that a possible victory for the pro-Russian far right in France could encourage Russia to attack the Baltic region. He mentioned that if France were led by a politician he described as a supporter of Russia, and whose political success, in his view, was based on Russian money, he would expect France to hinder efforts for collective defense. He added that the region should prepare for defense together with Poland, Germany, and the Nordic countries. #Francie #bezpečnost #obrana (translated)

Ondra Černý, who stated that he is studying for a master's program in public law in France and is also dealing with internal security law, explained the differences between three French security components. According to him, the municipal police fall under the mayor and focus mainly on local order, prevention, supervision, and handling misdemeanors. He does not believe they are primarily intended to suppress large-scale violent riots. Černý wrote that municipal police officers may face hundreds of aggressive individuals during violent demonstrations and typically lack the training, equipment, or manpower of specialized state units. Therefore, he described their retreat as a possible security necessity, not necessarily cowardice. He stated that the national police fall under the Ministry of the Interior and that its CRS units are trained for interventions during large demonstrations. He characterized the gendarmerie as an armed force of a military nature; its mobile units intervene during riots and also use Centaure armored vehicles. He described the CRS and mobile gendarmerie as the backbone of the French system for managing large demonstrations. He added that the municipal police cannot conduct general identity checks based solely on suspicion, but they can do so when dealing with legally defined offenses. If a person refuses to cooperate, according to him, the municipal police officer must contact the relevant officer from the national police or gendarmerie. Černý also mentioned that in France there are joint workspaces and coordinated patrols of municipal and national police, aimed at improving cooperation and information sharing; however, he noted that a joint workspace does not mean the same powers. #Francie #veřejnéprávo #bezpečnost (translated)

Borut Rončević wrote that following the announcement of a comprehensive reform of education, he experienced increasing political and media pressure. He described the story about airline tickets as an attempt to discredit the responsible minister and a political showdown, but added that ministers are obliged to explain the use of public money. According to him, information about the travel habits of previous governments shows that the current outrage is not due to concern for public finances, but rather opposition to the reform. Rončević believed that unions and the educational establishment had too much influence on education policy in the past. He attributed a legitimate role to unions in representing employees, but said their influence should not include veto power over the substantive direction of the reform. He also claimed that the educational establishment had harmed the system in the last three decades by following a progressive ideology. Regarding the left and the Left, he wrote that they sought ideological hegemony primarily through the fields of education and culture. He emphasized that in preparing the reform, teachers, principals, parents, students, researchers, local communities, and the economy are involved, while unions should participate in discussions about salaries, working conditions, and employee rights. In his view, those politically responsible should decide on the direction of changes based on data and professional analyses. As ten starting points for the reform, he listed a greater emphasis on knowledge, high standards, the development of students' potentials, work ethic, patriotic and civic education, ideological neutrality, the authority of teachers, early literacy, digital and other knowledge for the future, and broader responsibility in shaping school policy. Rončević announced the relocation of the ministry to Novo mesto, a reduction in the number of employees, and strict limitations on remote work. He stated that the success of the reorganization should be measured by faster responses, timely resolution of issues, lower costs, clearer distribution of responsibilities, and user satisfaction. He wrote that the reform has the support of a broader public, parents, teachers, and the coalition, according to the data he presented. He expected even more pressure, including media publications, reports to the Commission for Prevention of Corruption, criminal charges, petitions, and interpellations, and announced that he would not abandon or soften the changes because of them. #reformaizobraževanja #javnofinanciranje #politika (translated)
