I believe I just got as close to death as possible. Presidente Dutra highway, near the Internacional Mall heading towards São Paulo. A citizen thought it was a great idea to transport cardboard signs in the luggage of a trailer, without ANY tie-downs or weight. One sign flew off (what a surprise), and simply STUCK to the front windshield of my car at 90 km/h. Seriously, if I didn't crap my pants, I will never do it again; my blood pressure must have dropped to my feet, I almost had a heart attack, if I didn’t crash into someone first. In a fraction of a second, I almost lost everything. I remembered the truck that passed above the height of the overpass and killed the driver in the opposite lane. Our lives are very fragile. Remember: TIE DOWN YOUR LOADS! (translated)

The government of ANO, SPD, and Motorists is reaching for two things that I consider fundamental: property rights and energy security. I do not want a state that tells people to whom they should preferentially sell their property. And I definitely do not want to live in a country that, after the experience with Russia, wants to take away gas and oil. (translated)

Ivan went crazy again when he said that he would talk to SPD after the elections. Please, as a politician, I always talk to all parties. I dislike the polarization of society, and I dislike it when it carries over into local politics. Just because I intend to talk to someone does not mean that I plan to enter into a coalition with them. Anyone who follows my networks knows that I will not spare a criticism of the current government and that I do not shy away from harsher words. I am just convinced, based on experiences from Germany, that we need to listen to the voters of today's ruling parties and address their problems. Not populistically, but with regard to longevity and sustainability. And yes, I know SPD voters who are intelligent, but perhaps they are struggling in life and are upset. Should I ostracize them? Or should I talk to them and explain why, in my opinion, what SPD, Motoristé, or ANO are offering them today is not good for their future? I am for the second option. (translated)

URGENT: THE BRAZILIAN EMBASSY HELPED LULINHA'S FLIGHT TO SPAIN! I INFORMED MINISTER ANDRÉ MENDONÇA REQUESTING AN INVESTIGATION AGAINST THE AMBASSADOR. April 2025: the INSS scandal breaks. June 2025: Lulinha was already moving to Madrid. And in the meantime, the embassy. Staff to visit school. Driver. Bridge with the rector. Even a van offered. Who organized everything? Roberta Luchsinger, the lobbyist who received R$ 1.5 million from Careca of INSS. THE RETIREE WAS ROBBED. LULA'S SON GOT AN EMBASSY TO FLEE (translated)

The environmental organization Greenpeace in Prague overturned a billboard with the ANO candidate and placed a banner criticizing motorists for damaging the environment, wanting to express a demand for professional management of the Ministry of the Environment from Prime Minister Andrej Babiš. (translated)

A member of the Motorists answered about how she came to the building of the Prague police headquarters, for which she received over 100 million crowns in rent from the police: "That's our secret, it's nothing for the newspapers. I'm protecting my know-how." So I would say that her answer could be borrowed by a Turk who suddenly came to 50 million in accounts from a suspended business and without earning companies. 🤡 (Source: Voxpot) (translated)

You may have heard of Klára Sovová in the past as the owner of Labská and Luční Boudy in the Krkonošsko region. An owner who sometimes completely disregards the fact that she bought properties right in a national park and isn’t exactly happy when someone interferes with how many cars are allowed to pass through the park or how carefully she should carry out construction work. However, you can also know her from the electoral billboards of the Motorists, where she announces her candidacy for the mayor of Prague next to Macinka, claiming that she has the courage to go against the grain. The story of Klára Sovová would be worth making a movie about how that twilight zone between privatization, business, offshores, and politics has worked in the Czech Republic since the revolution. Sovová was a part of all these areas in one person. But she is a person with enormous energy, so she managed to publish a porn magazine, occasionally throw some millions to a political party, and at the same time claim that entrepreneurs do not engage in altruistic activities. Kristina and I have been working on this story for the past few weeks and discussed it with many people who have known Sovová since her time at the National Property Fund. Interestingly, the vast majority of those approached did not want to speak. The best description of her and her surroundings is the sentence she replied with when asked how she came to the building of the Prague police headquarters, from which she received over 100 million crowns in rent from the police: "That is our secret, it’s not for the newspapers. I protect my know-how with that." However, I think we have managed to get at least a little glimpse into that know-how in the last few weeks, and now you can read about it. You'll find it in the next post.👇 (translated)

“Queria mesmo era estar em Mônaco com você”: as mensagens entre Vorcaro e Hugo Motta Diálogos extraídos pela Polícia Federal do celular de Daniel Vorcaro, obtidos pela Folha, revelam relação próxima com o presidente da Câmara, Hugo Motta. Em 23 de maio do ano passado, Vorcaro escreveu: “Mas queria mesmo estar era em Monaco com voce”. Os dois riram, fizeram uma ligação de quase oito minutos e o empresário enviou o contato de um motorista, perguntando se Motta queria alguém para servir na casa. Outros trechos mostram pedidos do deputado (como entradas em camarote de carnaval) e encontros pessoais, além de conversas anteriores sobre um empréstimo de pelo menos R$ 22 milhões do Banco Master para empresa da cunhada de Motta. #Mônaco #Política #Corrupção
