Luděk Mádl wrote that the term "underrated" can sometimes be difficult to define. As an example, he mentioned David Kobylík's opinion that Harry Kane was underrated in England, and he asked how he would have to be valued there for it to be different. #fotbal #nedoceněný #HarryKane (translated)

The last scout™ wrote that Nova's report from Poland showed queues of Czechs at gas stations and that a full tank there cost about 400 crowns less, according to him. He recalled that a similar situation occurred four years ago when Babiš, in his view, went to Poland and criticized the incompetent government, assuring that it wouldn't happen under him. He described the current situation as futile: voters of ANO, according to him, went to refuel in Poland, yet they still had to vote for ANO. #Polsko #Benzín #Volby (translated)

The last scout™ wrote that ANO has ruled in Ústí for eight years, while the city, according to him, ranked 182nd in quality of life out of more than 200 cities.

The author of the contribution requested Deník Sport, specifically Bárta and Horák, to correct what he believes is a misquote. He stated that he has already contacted both of them privately, that he did not write the quoted text, and that he intentionally refrained from commenting on the sensitive topic; he mentioned a photograph as evidence. He added that he did not understand why he was involved in the matter if it was only a reference to a profile where the discussion took place. He also pointed out that users on X were, in his opinion, bullied because of their profile pictures. #sport #chyba #opravdu (translated)

Ivan Bartoš stated that the Pirates helped stop the payout of 68 million crowns to Agrofert, but according to him, it now concerns another billions. He called on Minister Šebestyán, whom he referred to as a person appointed by Andrej Babiš, to start demanding 7 billion crowns. He claimed that Šebestyán, as the former head of SZIF, had himself written in an analysis that the state should recover this money, but after joining Babiš's government, he changed his stance. Bartoš added that the Pirates will not let it go like that. #Agrofert #Babiš #Piráti (translated)

Fráňa Šrámek shared a text by Matěj Hollan, who claimed that ANO brought Russian influences into politics with the announced Senate candidacy of Sandy Tsoukernik. Hollan linked her chances of being elected in Cheb to the popularity of Michal David's concerts, which, according to him, were supported by her husband. Hollan stated that Tsoukernik sold her stake in the casino business in June 2024 and that in May 2026, the online betting and casino operation Kingsbet was taken over by the Novomatic group. He claimed that Novomatic strengthened its position in the Czech gambling market with this. He also reminded that the Admiral casino operated in the King's Resort complex in Rozvadov and that the slot machines in both casinos came from Novomatic. Hollan further linked Novomatic to the Russian environment and mentioned its business in St. Petersburg. According to the text he quoted, a joint casino called Neva Chance was established there in 1993, whose Russian partner was located at the same address as the St. Petersburg City Hall committee led by Vladimir Putin, and used the same phone number. He also mentioned alleged ties to Gennady Petrov and Alexander Malyshev, the Wirecard case, and Jan Marsalek. Regarding the planned Novomatic casino in Tuchoměřice, he stated that the locals rejected it by a margin of 84.5 percent. #hazard #politika #Rusko (translated)

Martin Bartkovský stated that after sharing a statement from 40 editors-in-chief, he criticized the journalistic community for failing to unanimously agree on a rejection of violence and equal access to information sharing. He added that he generally expressed his personal opinion about those who repeatedly did not stand up for their colleagues. Subsequently, according to him, he received a number of insults and comparisons to communists. He emphasized that by not signing the statement, in his view, no harm was caused to anyone nor will it be. He stated that he did not plan to fire, kill, or hang anyone and did not prepare lists of inconvenient people. He thanked the remaining 39 editors-in-chief for supporting their colleagues across the field and apologized to them that the discussion had shifted in a different direction due to his contribution. He responded to criticism with several other apologies, including to podcast entrepreneurs, a former colleague, a Czech writer, and a former MEP. Regarding the former colleague, he recalled that for the last 10 years, the status of journalism had been labeled bad, despite the fact that they worked for the same media for six years, which the colleague led. He also mentioned that he apologized for his surname starting with the letter B, which he had for 37 years, and for the reference to Chinese spies. He also apologized to the media Euro, Info, Zdopravy, Okraj, and Chiptron, which he said were not invited to the statement, despite discussions about its wording lasting a month. He offered to connect anyone interested in adding their signature with the organizers, among whom he claimed he did not belong. In a note, he stated that he deleted the original post because he confused two writers and mistook a father for a son in connection with the anti-chart. He apologized for the error, yet called the comparison to the anti-chart inappropriate, stating that parallels with the communist past, in his view, did not help anything. #žurnalistika #svobodaSlova #politika (translated)

The representative stated that ČEZ is currently offering favorable gas prices for new customers as well as in retention offers, while existing customers, according to him, do not have access to similar terms. He recommended that people with indefinite contracts give notice, as ČEZ would then contact them with an offer. According to the representative, gas should cost 1,060 CZK per MWh including VAT for a three-year fixed price, and 1,040 CZK for a two-year fixation. He stated that ČEZ did not offer a signing bonus, but with a three-year fixation, it was possible to receive a voucher for Kaufland worth 1,000 CZK. After verifying with her superior, the sales representative promised him the voucher for one metering point in an apartment with heating. He added that it was possible to conclude a contract for consumption that would start no later than the end of 2027. His advantageous fixed rates in two apartment buildings were set to end in November 2027. He feared that gas prices would not decrease but would rise significantly, and stated that he wanted to ensure reasonable heating costs for tenants. According to him, lower energy expenses could leave tenants with more funds for rent. The post opened with a derogatory term for a Jewish person. #plyn #energie #ČEZ (translated)

Michal Semotan stated that they have obtained a license from the Czech National Bank for an investment company and will operate in the market under the brand ARVUM. According to him, the name is derived from the Latin term for arable land and fertile fields and refers to the long-term building of value. He thanked everyone who participated in obtaining the license and wrote that they are now working on preparing their own funds. According to him, they want to gain the trust of clients and investors through active portfolio management and open communication. https://t.co/th2w39hiIn #investice #licence #finančnictví (translated)

Martin Bartkovský stated that when he shared the statement from forty editors-in-chief, he did not expect the reaction it would provoke. He criticized that the journalistic community he addressed, according to him, was unable to unanimously agree even on rejecting violence in their relationship with politicians and on equal access to sharing information. He added that he expressed his personal judgment about those who repeatedly refused to stand up for their colleagues in an indirect manner. For that, he claimed to have received a number of insults and comparisons to communists; one of the people who signed the Anticharta wrote to him that he had never seen anything more disgusting. Bartkovský clarified that not signing the statement did not harm anyone and would not harm anyone, and he rejected the idea that he wanted to dismiss, threaten, or create lists of uncomfortable people. He thanked the remaining 39 editors-in-chief for their support for colleagues from the entire field and apologized to them for the discussion veering in a different direction due to his contribution. He then made a series of apologies that he delivered ironically: among other things, to podcast entrepreneurs for reminding him of something other than Chinese communism, to a former colleague for criticizing journalism at a time when they both worked in the same media for six years, and to a Czech writer for reminding him of his signature on the Anticharta. He also apologized to those who labeled him a "svazák" (a term for a member of the youth organization during the communist regime) and to a former Member of the European Parliament regarding his judgment about Bartkovský's character. He added that he also apologizes to the media outlets Euro, Info, Zdopravy, Okraj, and Chiptron, which, according to him, were not addressed, even though the text had been discussed for a month. He offered to connect interested parties with the organizers of the statement so that they could join him. #žurnalistika #komunikace #mediálníetiketa (translated)
