Michal Sirový described the senatorial duel in Plzeň as exceptionally boring, but he noted that more interesting contests are expected in other districts. According to him, the clash between Láska and Sáblík is worth attention, where a strong, neutrally positioned candidate is pitted against the ODS in Prague, and the battle between Šípová and Paták, which he described as the defense of the mandate by a representative of the weaker Pirates against the ODS. He also considered the contests between STAN and ODS in Hradec Králové and Zlín to be important. He posed the question of which of these brands is currently more popular, or conversely, more toxic. In the clash between Šmarda and Klement, he pointed out the social democrat in neutral colors against a Christian Democrat on the edge of the Czech "Bible belt." He identified Přerov and Karviná as the only two real chances for ANO to gain a mandate and questioned whether voters would show up there. #Volby2023 #SenátníDuel #ČeskáPolitika (translated)
