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)

Dominic Fritz claimed that, in 2025, the Mangalia Shipyard was heading towards bankruptcy, and the PSD wanted to sell it for 10 million euros. According to him, USR ministers Radu Miruță and Irineu Darău found a solution through SAFE and new orders, and the shipyard was subsequently auctioned for 138 million euros, with jobs saved. Fritz attributed the criticisms from Sorin Grindeanu and the PSD to desperation, after Grindeanu allegedly said on television that he would accept any government without USR, and the PSD supposedly asked him to leave the leadership of the party. He said he expected accusations that USR “sold out to foreigners,” but he argued that saving the Romanian shipyard, through investments and orders for the Romanian Army, could not be called treason. #USR #Romania #ȘantierNaval (translated)

Vláďa Foltán labeled Donald Trump's post about the Nobel Peace Prize as bizarre and wrote that Trump criticized again for not having won the prize. According to Foltán, Trump claimed that he deserved eight Nobel Peace Prizes for resolving eight wars: between Cambodia and Thailand, Kosovo and Serbia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda, Pakistan and India, Israel and Iran, Egypt and Ethiopia, Armenia and Azerbaijan, and Israel and Hamas. According to Foltán, Trump also stated that he prevented Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, helped bring home all Israeli hostages including the last 28, both living and deceased, and negotiated the release of over 900 political prisoners from Eastern Europe. He also claimed that he brought home 196 hostages without ransom, forced NATO countries to increase defense spending from 2% to 5% of GDP, and removed Nicolás Maduro from Venezuela. The other two wars, in Iran and between Russia and Ukraine, he claimed were still in the planning stages for resolution or victory. Foltán stated that Trump questioned the merits of the woman in the photo he shared in his post and criticized the Nobel Prize as well as Norway. According to him, Trump claimed that the prize should have been awarded to the United States and labeled its awarding as a discredit to the accolade. #Trump #NobelovaCenaMíru #Politika (translated)

Tomáš Prouza claimed that the Prague magistrate abolished price caps for traditional taxis with taximeters from October 1, without notifying residents and tourists. According to him, this allowed drivers to charge a starting rate of 666 crowns and 444 crowns per kilometer, which he said could lead to rides costing tens of thousands of crowns. He linked the change to the long-term effort of traditional taxi drivers to limit competition from digital platforms. He stated that the parliamentary amendment, advocated by ANO and the Pirates, aimed to drive thousands of taxi drivers out of Prague. He attributed falling prices, better ride availability, and the ability to know the price in advance to the applications. According to Prouza, the responsibility for the taxi service area lay with Prague's deputy mayor for transport, Jaromír Beránek. Prouza called the change an adjustment pushed through at the request of the taxi mafia and warned that it could damage Prague's reputation. He also referred to the city's decision to abolish the price cap and questioned the timing of the change before the elections and its secrecy. https://t.co/ipI2QMVBLE #taxi #prague #praha #magistrat #taxi #praha #magistrat (translated)
