Zdeněk Šarapatka commented on Mirka Němcová's appearance on Czech television and wrote that her expression, in his opinion, conveyed suffering and resentment. He referred to her sitting for an hour opposite Robert Šlachta as an act of bravery. He attributed to him and his team a role in the fall of the Nečas government, the formation of Zeman's presidential government, and the subsequent rise of ANO and Andrej Babiš. He recalled that thirteen years ago, 400 members of Šlachta's command intervened at the government building and that the operation, according to him, concerned luxury handbags and surveillance connected to Jana Nagyová. Šarapatka assigned responsibility to Šlachta and his colleague from the VSZ for Miloš Zeman's refusal to accept 101 signatures of MPs from the then Speaker of the Chamber, Němcová, and to appoint a government according to the Constitution. He described Zeman's government as a composition of people from the environment of social democrats and their supporters. He also stated that the state, in his opinion, subsequently faced problems with Babiš, whom he accused of embezzling public property. He labeled Šlachta as a former policeman and ally of Zeman and Babiš who became a politician. He estimated that he could switch to Václav Láska, who, according to him, hinted at new members of his senatorial club on television the day before. According to Šarapatka, Němcová's departure from high politics was not a reason for her tenure in the Senate and earlier in the Chamber to end in the way she demonstrated on Czech Television. In conclusion, he thanked her for her public service. #respekt (translated)

The author wrote that, according to her, hardly any forest would remain in the nature reserve Huis Ter Heide, in the municipality of Loon op Zand. The depicted road was, in her opinion, one of the many access routes for the installation of 24 high-voltage masts.

She noted that cycling in the forest was prohibited because cyclists would damage nature. #natuur #bosbescherming #duurzaamheid (translated)

The Institute of Truth informed that the Regional Prosecutor's Office in Warsaw has filed an indictment in court against eight individuals regarding irregularities at the National Centre for Research and Development. According to the description, they were accused of, among other things, participating in a criminal organization, fraud to the detriment of NCBiR, issuing false VAT invoices, and money laundering. Investigators established that between 2021 and 2023, companies were created without any actual research and development activities to obtain public funds. The author described SMS correspondence from 2017 between Adam Bielan, his wife Klaudia, and Piotr M., the president of Chime Networks and one of the main accused. The company sought around 123 million PLN for the "Cable" project concerning underwater fiber optic infrastructure. According to the accounts from journalists of the podcast "In Connection with the Investigation," Dominika Długosz and Mariusz Gierszewski, Bielan was supposed to assist in organizing a meeting between Piotr M. and a Qatari delegation, and his wife received a presentation from the company and declared she would pass it on to her husband. Bielan was not charged. The Institute of Truth emphasized that Bielan had denied any close relationship with Piotr M. and involvement in the "Cable" project. He claimed to have met him through Jacek Żalek, and the meeting with the Qataris was of a courtesy nature; later, he was supposed to warn against the project. Żalek, on the other hand, maintained that Bielan and Piotr M. had known each other for years. The author recalled that Żalek was accused, among other things, of exceeding authority and accepting bribes, while the European Prosecutor's Office accused Piotr M. of attempting to defraud funding. The contract for 123 million PLN was ultimately not signed. The author stressed that the correspondence from 2017 does not prove Bielan's involvement in the later grant application, but indicates his contacts with the entrepreneur and assistance in organizing a high-level meeting. He added that Bielan was not included in the indictment. #InstytutPrawdy #NCBiR #oszustwa #przestępczość (translated)
