Ondra Černý stated that Macron's speech, in his opinion, captured his entire presidency: he described it as impressive but claimed that it was not followed by specific actions. He reminded that Macron condemned violence, called for a debate with students, tasked the prime minister with a job, and requested coordination among prefects and mayors. According to Černý, however, some mayors demanded the declaration of a state of emergency while others called for the activation of Article 16 of the French Constitution, which he stated allows the president to rule by decree. He labeled Macron as an example of a weak leader, which he believes contributes to difficult times. #Macron #politika #Franci (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)

In Albania, anti-government protests have escalated into violent clashes with police, during which protesters set government buildings on fire, damaged institutional and private property, and resorted to violent actions against police, to which the police responded with tear gas and water cannons, arresting 55 people in the process. #Protesti #Albanija #Tirana (translated)

Doctor Punk stated that the Poles, in his opinion, showed courage as usual, and he expressed his gratitude to them. He wrote that when looking at the domestic government, which he believed did not reflect the events in the world at all, he was reassured that at least neighboring countries had reasonable and competent people in the right places. #Polsko #politika #Evropa (translated)

Radim Ivan stated that local STAN accounts accused him of lying after he wrote that the Ostrava STAN supported the ANO candidate for the Senate, Ondřej Šimetka, by ceding advertising space. According to him, he did not contest the official support of STAN, but criticized that on spaces that previously belonged to the Christian Democrats who are running independently in Poruba, Šimetka now hangs. Ivan wrote that he received no offer of advertising space or expression of support for the opposition candidate from either the Ostrava STAN or its leader Boháč. He claimed he was told that there was no option other than cooperation with ANO. According to him, STAN had repeatedly pointed this out to Boháč and others and is still waiting for a statement from the regional chairwoman of STAN, Šebelová. He added that if a coalition were formed in the city without ANO, there would be a 99% probability he would lose his position as deputy mayor because, in the southern district, such a coalition is apparently not possible. He marked the situation in Havířov as another problem for which their party rightly faces criticism; he stated they want to address it at the level of regional leadership and that he asked Christian Democratic leader Jan Grolich to also engage with it. He identified the main goal as shifting the Ostrava agglomeration towards a modern European metropolis. According to him, coalitions of parties that are now in opposition could have arisen in Opava, Frýdek-Místek, Ostrava, and Havířov, thus balancing the relationships in the region. Instead, he says there is a danger of further fragmentation and prioritization of partial interests. #politika #Ostrava #koalice (translated)

Ondřej Šimíček wrote that cooperation of ANO with other parties is common at the municipal level and in some cities or municipalities may be the only option. According to him, not every such cooperation can therefore be labeled as bad. However, he marked Ostrava as an exception and a stronghold of Andrej Babiš. He claimed that there exists a comfortable majority without ANO, which the vast majority of voters for Mayors for Ostrava and Mayors and Independents counted on. The leader of Mayors for Ostrava, Boháč, according to Šimíček, rejected this option because he personally considered the partnership with ANO to be better—not because of the opinions of voters, members, or other mayors. Šimíček wrote that the personal interests of one person thwarted the possibility of forming a coalition in Ostrava without ANO, and according to him, the responsibility for this lies with Boháč regardless of the final outcome. #Ostrava #koalice #politika (translated)

The law was voted on. Not a single member of the ruling coalition supported it, including the Hlas party, which claims to represent the regions, "The law was voted on.

Marie Bastlová asked whether the year of governance had not been a year of failure for motorists due to unmet promises, the minister's lack of advocacy, and provocations that, according to the question, attracted attention. The response published alongside the question rejected such an assessment and claimed that it was a hysterization of the cultural-media trend that could not come to terms with the election results. #ptamseja https://t.co/mqXmWEdmrn #politika #volby #hysterie (translated)

Jan Betlach recommended a video from the account MorEdge_Insight, which he believed explained why the accusation that Israel was founded on "stolen land" was incorrect. He claimed that this criticism more accurately pertained to Jordan. Betlach stated that after World War I, Britain received the mandate territory of Palestine, where a Jewish national homeland was supposed to be established while protecting the rights of other inhabitants. In 1922, according to him, Britain separated about 77 percent of the territory, closed it to the Jews, and handed it over to Abdullah, the prince of Hejaz, which is today part of Saudi Arabia. He claimed that Abdullah had no relation to Transjordan and that his appointment to the throne was imposed by the British after France expelled his brother Faisal from Damascus; the League of Nations merely approved this formally, according to him. He described Jordan as a state created on territory taken from the mandate and ruled by a foreign dynasty. He added that the UN in 1947 recommended dividing the remaining 23 percent of the mandate territory west of the Jordan River, with the Jews accepting the plan and the Arabs rejecting it. Betlach asserted that Israel did not steal any land, whereas Britain divided the territory, and Arab states subsequently invaded the remainder. He argued that the accusations should be directed at Britain and Jordan, not at Israel. https://t.co/ugceLv8fS3 #Izrael #Jordánsko #historie (translated)

Roman M🐦 asked whether there is any honesty in the situation and rejected its designation as a dead end.

He noted that, in his opinion, the same things keep repeating. https://t.co/bPZ15fClcA #čestnost #politika #americkápolitika (translated)
