Fráňa Šrámek thanked Miroslav Hlaváč and shared a post from the initiative Shield of Democracy on Facebook. It claimed that Zůna wanted to dismiss General Radek Haratek, who, according to them, was involved in the fight against disinformation. According to the post, Hlaváč visited the Command of Information and Cyber Forces in Brno, expressed trust in Haratek, and stated that he would not dismiss him. The Shield of Democracy wrote that, in their opinion, there was an attempt to weaken a part of the army responsible for protecting the internet and information space from cyber attacks and Russian propaganda. The initiative expressed joy and pride and labeled Hlaváč's step as encouraging. It added that their civic initiative makes sense and that it is important to publicly talk about pro-Russian influences that, in their view, threaten state institutions. #demokracie #kybernetickábezpečnost #armáda (translated)

Zdeněk Šarapatka stated that he was pleased with the election results and perceived them as a rejection of Andrej Babiš and his allies in power. He described the outcome as a promising beginning of a political story that could end with Babiš's downfall, labeling Babiš as a criminal. According to Šarapatka, voters may have been disillusioned by unfulfilled promises and empty wallets. He also mentioned seniors who, in his view, watched a video of Filip Turek with astonishment, in which Turek allegedly stubbed out a cigar on a fresh wind turbine. Šarapatka expressed pride in TOP 09. He claimed that the results challenged the opinions suggesting the party is insignificant and should merge with another. He reminded of the senatorial victories of party colleagues Třetina and Grulich, as well as the strengthening of the party in municipal and city councils. In Prague, according to him, despite an initial agreement, people around Marek Benda posed obstacles. He described TOP 09 as a party connected to the legacy of Karel Schwarzenberg, which he believes was not formed merely on slogans but has its own ideas. He therefore rejected the merger of the party. He praised the chairman Matěj Ondřej Havel for his energy, education, rhetorical skills, and frequent media appearances, although he stated that Havel does not appear convincing in streams. He urged the election winners to defend democracy. #volby #demokracie #politika (translated)

Viet Tran turned to ANO MP Pavel Růžička from Sezimovo Ústí and stated that he was elected with 2,882 preferential votes. He claimed that Růžička had blocked him and accused him of lying and incompetence. He also questioned his cognitive abilities and wrote that he supports his claim with a color-coded transcript. Tran stated that ANO leader Babiš despises Růžička and that Růžička will not become the Minister of Defense. As a reason, he mentioned that Babiš had to go to court because of him due to false statements. He added that a court resolution is not the same as a verdict and reminded that the movement also has individuals who are criminally prosecuted but not issued. In connection with the current case, he wrote that it is still in the verification phase and no one has been charged. He asked others to include a snapshot of the transcript in the discussion. #politika #lhářství #ČeskáRepublika (translated)

Ondřej Černý wrote that he came from a poor family and recalled from his grandmother's stories how she counted the siblings who had died as young children from illnesses, such as "božec," meaning febrile convulsions. He mentioned that there was no money for doctors back then and that the family always valued food very much. Later, he noted that he discovered that Ukrainians have a similar relationship with food due to ancestral memories of the Holodomor. He also recalled the text from Ork about a rich man who extinguished a cigar on an ox's eye, and about gluttony being essentially a sin and the childish destruction of a good thing. He wrote that for "this" his late grandmother would have given Filípek a whack. In conclusion, he contrasted adults who tried to improve the world around them with those he labeled as big children seeking attention through expensive toys and loud behavior. #historie #paměť #rodina (translated)

Reports from První Nohy stated that the minister would have quickly resigned or been dismissed in the past due to a similar scandal and avoiding the media.

Now, according to him, Babiš is so weak and inept that he cannot even dismiss his own minister. #politika #ministr #AndrejBabiš (translated)
