To be honest, I actually don't know if it was a happy choice. Nationwide politics and parliament have, I’m not afraid to say, minimal influence on the municipal level. You need to have people on the ground there. When I look at the Christian Democrats, even though they are weak in parliament or at the national level, with about 2.5 percent, they are huge in the municipalities," commented the Minister of Culture Oto Klempíř on this strategy. "For us, it is important to build an organization on the ground, to ensure its functioning and connectivity. This is an important goal because municipal elections have often been considered second-tier elections. However, I believe that this has changed and that municipalities are setting a very, very, very prestigious bar with their importance," Klempíř added. #volby #Praha #Motoristé (translated)

Vláďa Foltán labeled Donald Trump's post about the Nobel Peace Prize as bizarre and wrote that Trump criticized again for not having won the prize. According to Foltán, Trump claimed that he deserved eight Nobel Peace Prizes for resolving eight wars: between Cambodia and Thailand, Kosovo and Serbia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda, Pakistan and India, Israel and Iran, Egypt and Ethiopia, Armenia and Azerbaijan, and Israel and Hamas. According to Foltán, Trump also stated that he prevented Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, helped bring home all Israeli hostages including the last 28, both living and deceased, and negotiated the release of over 900 political prisoners from Eastern Europe. He also claimed that he brought home 196 hostages without ransom, forced NATO countries to increase defense spending from 2% to 5% of GDP, and removed Nicolás Maduro from Venezuela. The other two wars, in Iran and between Russia and Ukraine, he claimed were still in the planning stages for resolution or victory. Foltán stated that Trump questioned the merits of the woman in the photo he shared in his post and criticized the Nobel Prize as well as Norway. According to him, Trump claimed that the prize should have been awarded to the United States and labeled its awarding as a discredit to the accolade. #Trump #NobelovaCenaMíru #Politika (translated)

Oliver Adámek, who according to his own words attended the Prague council for four years, stated that Prague is moving forward, but its development is hindered by the limited powers of local government. He identified the Metropolitan Plan and the continuation of tram line construction as the greatest successes of the past period. He considered the pressure on secondary schools and the Libeň Bridge as the biggest problems. Adámek wrote that elected politicians have only a limited influence on the shape of streets, closures, and construction. He advocated for the abolition of delegated powers, stronger powers for local governments in land-use planning, direct election of the mayor, and reducing the number of city districts by at least half. He noted that these changes would need to be approved by Parliament. He also rejected the claim that nothing is being built in Prague. He recalled the development on three major brownfields, 14 new tram lines in 10 years, metro line D, the Dvorecký Bridge, the railway to the airport, and the construction of the outer ring road. Regarding the inner ring road, he mentioned the complicated amendment to the land-use plan and stated that the Vltava Philharmonic had been waiting for building permits and financing. According to him, however, Prague needed significantly more apartments, both private and municipal. According to Adámek, the traffic jams in Prague are caused by three times as many cars compared to the 1990s, not by current closures or adjustments to tram islands. He believes that the ring roads would not change traffic in the broader center much, as nearly 90% of cars on the main road drove into the center. A vast P+R system, he argued, would require tens of billions of crowns and would not make sense. He considered the railway hub to be more important, as it would speed up commuting from Central Bohemia: while he claimed that 23% of Prague residents used cars daily, the majority of residents from the Central Bohemia region did. He criticized the current mayor for not engaging enough in public debate according to him and for not describing his vision for Prague in 10 to 20 years. He stated that most of the other current leaders had some vision. #Praha #volby #politika (translated)

The author of the contribution requested Deník Sport, specifically Bárta and Horák, to correct what he believes is a misquote. He stated that he has already contacted both of them privately, that he did not write the quoted text, and that he intentionally refrained from commenting on the sensitive topic; he mentioned a photograph as evidence. He added that he did not understand why he was involved in the matter if it was only a reference to a profile where the discussion took place. He also pointed out that users on X were, in his opinion, bullied because of their profile pictures. #sport #chyba #opravdu (translated)

Vít Rakušan wrote that his generation, including himself and his friends, liked Václav Havel and associated him with the wild nineties, travel, cultural diversity, and joy of life. After the death of Havel's wife Olga, he said he went to her funeral. When Havel died, he was a young mayor and displayed his portrait in front of the town hall and lit a candle. Rakušan stated that he still missed Havel. He described him as a complex and imperfect person who was authentic and wise and had a clear moral and political compass. According to Rakušan, totalitarians, former members of the StB, Communists, and Nazis breathed more easily in Havel's presence. After his departure, he said, society became coarser, the effort to come to terms with its own past diminished, and values lost their emphasis. Rakušan wrote that he did not wish Havel’s legacy to be remembered with pathos, sadness, or an artificial cult. He wanted, he said, to create the country that Havel desired: vibrant, civic, self-confident, free, and firmly anchored in the West, without self-justification and moral compromises. In conclusion, he wished Havel a happy birthday. #VáclavHavel #politika #českáhistorie (translated)

Jana Dubová recalled that Václav Havel would have turned 90 today. She remembered seeing him for the first time a few days after November 1989 when she was a student. Until then, she had only known him from texts, stories, and broadcasts from Voice of America; at home, his name was spoken cautiously according to her. At that time, Havel arrived in a Mercedes, wore a khaki jacket, and was smoking. Dubová described him as a little awkward and unusual, but above all human: he laughed, chatted with people, and joked. She herself was too shy to ask him anything back then, and today she would give a lot for that moment. At that time, she had no idea that Havel would soon become president. However, she remembered him most from that encounter, not from Prague Castle or television, and she still considered him a great man. (translated)
