Lenka Benešová wrote that Prime Minister Andrej Babiš still does not understand that his own voters rejected him in the elections. She cited his collaboration with Macinka and Okamura as one of the reasons, commenting derogatorily about them. She added that Babiš does not have the capacity to realize this, and concluded with the remark, "what's his is his." #politika #volby #Česko (translated)

Vlastislav Bříza wrote that a Spitfire flew over Prague again, which he claimed served in the 312th Czechoslovak Fighter Squadron of the RAF. He described the aircraft as a symbol of victory over Nazism and mentioned that it helped achieve air superiority, protected Allied bombers, and accompanied operations over occupied Europe. According to Bříza, the Spitfire also reminded him of the Czechoslovak resistance and the pilots who left for abroad after Munich and fought for the freedom of their homeland. He stated that the year 1938 did not show that Czechs could not fight, but that they did not receive orders at that time. He described the return of the aircraft as more than just an aviation event, linking it to national pride. #Spitfire #československo #historie (translated)

The founder stated that someone asked him on Flitr about investing in real estate abroad. According to him, such an investment is a "big headache" for most people, and it is often driven more by the desire to boast to others about having their own apartment than by actual necessity. Owners typically do not have time to go there, and so they rent out the property short-term through Booking or Airbnb. As an example, he mentioned a wealthy friend who had to go to his apartment in Italy to repaint a wall allegedly stained with chocolate by guests from India. According to the founder, the income from short-term rentals often gets swallowed up by agency fees, repairs, taxes, and utilities, while the apartment wears out faster than with private recreational use. He asked whether someone over fifty with wealth in the mid to upper tens and a demanding job would want to deal with such a concern. He deemed three situations meaningful: when the owner does not work, wants to spend at least three to six months a year at the destination, and can pay in cash; when such an apartment is also used by the owner’s extended family, including adult children; or when a young family with small children who are not yet in school can spend half a year by the sea. Finally, he recommended reading the story of a person who, according to him, bought apartments in various places around the world, mostly in less attractive locations, for passive income. However, in reality, it brought him worries, extra work, and financial loss. https://t.co/9cTBrLdPVX #investování #nemovitosti #pronájmy (translated)

A Sudeten lawyer wrote that in Ústí nad Labem, the plan of the One Ústí party to abolish the city districts has caused a stir. According to him, the party gained an absolute majority and did not discuss the intention before the elections. The author stated that he understands the reason for this approach and mentioned comments from people who said they would have voted for the party had they known about the plan. He linked the abolition of districts to the debate on merging municipalities. According to him, the Czech Republic has 6,258 municipalities, which is the highest number in Europe per capita. For comparison, he mentioned Belgium with 11.8 million inhabitants and 581 municipalities, Portugal with 10.6 million and 308 municipalities, Sweden with the same population and 290 municipalities, and Greece with 10.4 million inhabitants and 332 municipalities. He noted that the arrangements in Portugal and Greece differ slightly. According to him, Denmark had 99 municipalities with 6 million inhabitants and the Netherlands had 342 municipalities with 19 million. Hungary had about half and Austria a third of the Czech number of municipalities, he wrote. With exaggeration, he added that based on these examples, it might seem that these are countries where people suffer and municipalities do not prosper. He also addressed the number of city districts: out of 26 statutory cities, according to him, only seven have districts. He did not include Liberec in this count, which he marked as a city without internal divisions, except for Vratislavice nad Nisou. According to the author, Opava has eight urban parts formed by municipalities that joined it. It has a total of 7,000 inhabitants, while the rest of the city, approximately 47,600 people, has no urban part. He labeled Opava as the only smaller urban unit with districts other than Ústí nad Labem. He noted that Liberec, Hradec Králové, České Budějovice, and Olomouc do not need districts; he also described them as cities with good living potential, and some of them as wealthier. The author concluded that, according to him, people would fare better if municipalities and city districts were abolished. #obce #ÚstíNadLabem #politika #obce (translated)
