In Estonia and Western Europe, the product selection of the same store chain may not be identical, as it depends on different regulations, local taste preferences, and purchasing power, which is why new owners also bring their own branded products to the stores and adjust the selection according to the target audience of Estonians. #kaubanduskett #Eesti #toiduturg (translated)

Dee | ApexHeritage criticized part of Tesla owners for defending the brand as a religious belief and explaining to those who complained about the car's handling that the problem was with them. He also questioned the enthusiasm for features that, according to him, other car manufacturers had offered earlier. He cited Mercedes' Distronic system as an example, which he claimed had been available as far back as 1998, and mentioned automatic high beams, lane-keeping assistance, and parking assistants. He admitted that Tesla had its merits, but he was bothered by the fact that some customers defended its shortcomings to others after buying the car. #Tesla #ElonMusk #automobilismus (translated)

Andrej Fiskovec wrote to Andrej Babiš that an unspecified person is the vice-chairman of the defense committee also thanks to the votes of the members of his movement. He stated that the government supports a number of NATO and European Union projects in the field of security and defense, but the vice-chairman's statements undermine citizens' trust in its commitment to collective defense. Fiskovec called for this person to be dismissed from leadership and membership in the committee and for their access to classified security information to be restricted compared to ordinary MPs. He cited their connections to people on the Union's sanctions list as the reason. #Bezpečnost #Obrana #Politika (translated)

Martin Bartkovský stated that after sharing a statement from 40 editors-in-chief, he criticized the journalistic community for failing to unanimously agree on a rejection of violence and equal access to information sharing. He added that he generally expressed his personal opinion about those who repeatedly did not stand up for their colleagues. Subsequently, according to him, he received a number of insults and comparisons to communists. He emphasized that by not signing the statement, in his view, no harm was caused to anyone nor will it be. He stated that he did not plan to fire, kill, or hang anyone and did not prepare lists of inconvenient people. He thanked the remaining 39 editors-in-chief for supporting their colleagues across the field and apologized to them that the discussion had shifted in a different direction due to his contribution. He responded to criticism with several other apologies, including to podcast entrepreneurs, a former colleague, a Czech writer, and a former MEP. Regarding the former colleague, he recalled that for the last 10 years, the status of journalism had been labeled bad, despite the fact that they worked for the same media for six years, which the colleague led. He also mentioned that he apologized for his surname starting with the letter B, which he had for 37 years, and for the reference to Chinese spies. He also apologized to the media Euro, Info, Zdopravy, Okraj, and Chiptron, which he said were not invited to the statement, despite discussions about its wording lasting a month. He offered to connect anyone interested in adding their signature with the organizers, among whom he claimed he did not belong. In a note, he stated that he deleted the original post because he confused two writers and mistook a father for a son in connection with the anti-chart. He apologized for the error, yet called the comparison to the anti-chart inappropriate, stating that parallels with the communist past, in his view, did not help anything. #žurnalistika #svobodaSlova #politika (translated)

Martin Bartkovský stated that when he shared the statement from forty editors-in-chief, he did not expect the reaction it would provoke. He criticized that the journalistic community he addressed, according to him, was unable to unanimously agree even on rejecting violence in their relationship with politicians and on equal access to sharing information. He added that he expressed his personal judgment about those who repeatedly refused to stand up for their colleagues in an indirect manner. For that, he claimed to have received a number of insults and comparisons to communists; one of the people who signed the Anticharta wrote to him that he had never seen anything more disgusting. Bartkovský clarified that not signing the statement did not harm anyone and would not harm anyone, and he rejected the idea that he wanted to dismiss, threaten, or create lists of uncomfortable people. He thanked the remaining 39 editors-in-chief for their support for colleagues from the entire field and apologized to them for the discussion veering in a different direction due to his contribution. He then made a series of apologies that he delivered ironically: among other things, to podcast entrepreneurs for reminding him of something other than Chinese communism, to a former colleague for criticizing journalism at a time when they both worked in the same media for six years, and to a Czech writer for reminding him of his signature on the Anticharta. He also apologized to those who labeled him a "svazák" (a term for a member of the youth organization during the communist regime) and to a former Member of the European Parliament regarding his judgment about Bartkovský's character. He added that he also apologizes to the media outlets Euro, Info, Zdopravy, Okraj, and Chiptron, which, according to him, were not addressed, even though the text had been discussed for a month. He offered to connect interested parties with the organizers of the statement so that they could join him. #žurnalistika #komunikace #mediálníetiketa (translated)

P – Paukner Media claimed that the media paid more attention to the accident of Filip Turek than to the testimony of Hana Marvanová in the Dozimetr case. According to him, Marvanová spoke in court about practices that she had warned Vítem Rakušan about back in 2022. The author also recalled her concerns about Stanislav Polčák and the connections between Polčák and Petr Gazdík with the Redl family, including consultations and the selection of people for state enterprises. The post stated that Polčák went on vacation with Redl and that Redl's father is currently facing trial for embezzlement in Prague. The author also wrote that investigative files had not been provided to the parliamentary committee, so according to him, it was unclear to what extent the STAN movement collaborated with individuals referred to by Marvanová as "the boys from Zlín." Regarding Turek, the author noted that the police dismissed his accident because, according to their conclusion, no crime occurred, and the prosecutor did not appeal against it. He criticized Seznam Zprávy for repeatedly changing the headlines about whether Turek met the criteria for a crime, asserting that all its elements had to be fulfilled according to valid law. According to the author, the case was also reported by Czech Television, Forum24, Novinky, and Deník N, while apart from iRozhlas and ČTK, other media did not focus on Marvanová's testimony. The author suggested that the attention given to Turek was intended to overshadow the Dozimetr case and linked the media events to Jan Dobrovský, whom he called the largest sponsor of STAN. He also announced that he wanted to publish materials from the so-called "Paukner archive." #mafie #Praha #politika (translated)

Corruption is considered as significant a threat as Russian aggression, which is why the activities of the anti-corruption bureau NABU and President Volodymyr Zelensky's demands for reforms have become the focus of public attention, while also being a complex and slow process that creates both domestic political scandals and concerns among foreign partners. #Korruptsioon #Ukraina #Zelenski (translated)

Paula criticized Andrej Babiš for holding coffee for about 160, and at the same time, being appalled by the expenses of 500 a day for a product that is still legal. She claimed that instead of eradicating it, politicians only want to increase its taxation. She used a derogatory term for Jan Husbauer and stated that he promised to "clean up Prague." At the same time, she wished that the elections were already behind us and hoped that the people she labeled as Nazis would be silenced. #uždost #fuckano #babišjezlo #Babiš #volby #Praha (translated)

The sports report stated that Jiří Sláma could have played for Jablonec in the MOL Cup against Dukla on Friday, but instead played against the reigning world champions from Spain the next day and scored a goal. At 27 years old, according to the author, this was only his second goal in professional competitions. According to the sports report, Sláma spent his career at Sigma Olomouc, with the exception of a loan at Pardubice. In May 2025, he won the Czech Cup with them, the first club trophy in adult football, and in the following season, he played in European competitions for the first time. Before the current season, he transferred to Jablonec and played in all six qualifying matches of the Conference League, five times in the starting lineup. According to the author, Jablonec progressed to the league phase, which Sláma will play for the second time in a row and with a second club. He received his first national team call-up in September 2026 as a replacement for the injured David Jurásek. He made his debut against Croatia in the starting lineup and played 83 minutes; according to the sports report, he then played full matches against England and Spain. The author added that without Jurásek's injury, Sláma would likely have played for Jablonec against Dukla on Friday and watched the match against Spain on television. In the match against Spain, he also clashed with Lamin Yamal, for example. #fotbal #reprezentace #ČeskáRepublika (translated)

The author wrote that the AfD internally considered a reform of the eurozone instead of leaving it and transforming the EU instead of "dexiting." According to him, this could open the way for cooperation with the CDU, for which its previous anti-European stance was unacceptable.
