David Rangl, in an ironically toned post, claimed that the intervention of Russian data centers caused chaos in the Czech pro-Russian scene. According to him, disinformation websites and trolls stopped receiving instructions, so some people had to form their own opinions. Rangl described that the SPD convened a crisis staff, which, according to him, after several hours came up with several contradictory explanations: either the attack did not occur, Russia repelled it, or it could have been Brussels, NATO, migrants, and Petr Fiala to blame. He also mentioned a demand for the government's resignation without a clearly stated reason. According to him, on the alternative scene, one influencer condemned Russian aggression, another published photos of burning servers as evidence of Russian victory, and another began promoting Russia's accession to NATO. Jindřich Rajchl, according to Rangl, demanded a parliamentary investigative committee due to the decline in followers. The post further described the extinguished premises of the Stačilo! movement, non-functional stamp machines at the Václav Klaus Institute, and the vaccination of the Svatopluk association against rabies at a veterinary station. The situation was eventually calmed by a chain email that blamed events on Soros, Ukrainian pensioners, and a secret NATO lab in Uzhhorod. Rangl concluded that Russian servers were gradually returning to operation, while the damages to the Czech "patriotic scene" could be irreversible, as some people realized during the outage that they could think independently. #ČeskáRepublika #dezinformace #vlastenectví (translated)

The author of the post shared the account of photographer Diego Bresani about a photo of Jair Bolsonaro. According to Bresani, Bolsonaro accompanied the production of the portrait, saw a test image of the lighting, laughed, and asked for more photos to be taken. The photographer stated that Bolsonaro posed and had fun with the effect of the light, and that the most well-known image was created with his conscious participation. The author said that he didn't like the photo before, but began to see it differently. He stated that he admired Bresani's honesty for sharing the credit with Bolsonaro and said that the former president seemed little concerned about his own public image and what people would say about him. #fotografia #arte #fotógrafo (translated)

The author noted that Pedro Passos Coelho would give an interview to Maria João Avillez on SIC Notícias, between 9 PM and 10 PM, and argued that his governance should be reassessed in light of the financial conditions he encountered. According to the author, Portugal had already requested external assistance when Passos Coelho arrived at the Government in 2011, and the adjustment program of 78 billion euros had been negotiated before he took office. He maintained that during the legislature, exports rose from about one-third of GDP to nearly 40% in 2015, including tourism, and that the tourism sector gained strategic momentum. Regarding privatizations, he acknowledged that some operations were questionable and warranted scrutiny but argued that they allowed the collection of billions of euros, the amortization of public debt, and reduce financing needs and interest burdens. He also considered that cuts in the public sector were painful but questioned what the alternatives would have been when the State could no longer finance itself normally. The author further highlighted that Portugal completed the financial assistance program in 2014 and returned to market financing without a precautionary program, recovering, in his view, decision-making leeway. He stated that Passos Coelho was the most relevant politician of the century in Portugal for having made unpopular decisions and contributed to an economic change whose effects surpassed his Government. #Portugal #Política #Economia (translated)

The author of the post stated that the men in the photograph were Polish teachers who were led to execution by the Germans.

GFrei.News criticized the reporting on Habeck and questioned whether journalists from mainstream media had lost their minds. Since a journalist had asked Habeck to make a flirting face, he has been shown in photos with this facial expression and portrayed as a "cool guy," according to GFrei.News. Moreover, he is allowed to comment professionally on current political events. Habeck has failed maximally as Minister of Economics and ruined the German economy, wrote GFrei.News. The government subsequently collapsed and had to give up prematurely. Habeck then fled from Germany because the entire population had hated him, claimed the account. #Politik #Wirtschaft #Medien (translated)

The author criticized Bogucki for publishing flattering posts about the Nawrocki family and accused him of lacking sensitivity towards the tragedies that, as he wrote, were occurring in Poland. He pointed to violence in schools, the persecution of children based on their nationality, and hatred towards Ukrainian families and their children. He asked why Agata Nawrocka, whom he portrayed as engaged in child protection, did not take a decisive public stance on these issues. He reminded that she established a foundation aimed at combating, among other things, hate, participated in international initiatives concerning children's safety, appeared alongside Melania Trump, and visited foreign aid institutions. He noted that he was aware of her earlier statement condemning violence against Ukrainian teenage girls, but he felt that a one-time comment was not a substitute for a response to ongoing tragedies. The author emphasized that he did not hold Nawrocka responsible for school violence but criticized the discrepancy between her declared commitment and her public activity in light of recent tragedies. He also wrote that she did not need special constitutional competencies or an invitation from the White House to condemn violence and advocate for the safety of Ukrainian children in Poland. He accused Bogucki of idealizing the presidential family and ended with a question of what further tragedy is needed to hear a decisive voice from the First Lady. #Polska #PrzemocWszkołach #ObronaDzieci (translated)
