Luboš Procházka wrote that, according to an unnamed source from the Office for the Protection of the President of the Czech Republic, President Pavel was originally supposed to fly back from his vacation in Morocco to the Czech Republic by private jet only on the weekend. The return was booked and paid for, but during the week, the president decided to return already on Thursday via a regular flight. According to the source, the security team then had to quickly change their plans, secure seats on the plane for their staff, and arrange a security inspection of the aircraft with the airline. #politika #prezident #Ceskarepublika (translated)

Marek Stoniš wrote that he remained calm regarding further questions about President Petr Pavel's expenses for recreation. He predicted that Zdislava Pokorná from Deník N would publish metadata within a few hours or days and that ČT24 would prepare a special program about the president's possible conflict of interest, in which advisers Pehe, Mitrofanov, and Kolář would be confronted. He also claimed that Milion chvilek was planning a million-person demonstration next week at Letná against the situation at the Castle and that reporters from Czech Radio flew to the Canary Islands to monitor the hotel where, according to him, First Lady Eva was resting with friends. Subsequently, according to Stoniš, the Senate President Vystrčil was to initiate a constitutional process for the president's impeachment due to a violation of his oath and work for exposed business circles. He added that such a development would not be pleasant, but in his opinion, it was necessary to change the "stale constitutional order." #politika #prezident #demonstrace (translated)

Petr Holec noted that former German President Christian Wulff resigned on February 17, 2012, after just 20 months in office due to allegations of corruption and receiving benefits from entrepreneurs. According to information he cited from Echo24, Wulff, a CDU politician who was pushed into office in 2010 by Chancellor Angela Merkel, faced criticism for his contacts with business people during the time he was leading the government of Lower Saxony from 2003 to 2010. Holec also stated that there were suspicions that Wulff accepted invitations for vacations and other benefits. Investigators, according to him, focused on his relationship with film producer David Groenewold, who allegedly covered some of Wulff's hotel stays on the island of Sylt and expenses related to a visit to the Munich Oktoberfest. Wulff claimed that these were private friendly relationships and that he subsequently paid the costs. Holec further wrote that Petr Pavel is allegedly set to announce his resignation as president on Monday at 9:00 and to apologize to the public for its undignified performance. #politika #korupce #česko (translated)

At the same time, he indicated that the attention of government deputies should be directed towards more pressing issues.
