Roman Kolář stated that the president did not have to explain his private trips or their cost. He deemed the requests for explanations inappropriate and an intrusion into the president’s privacy; at the same time, he wrote that the president responded to them, but his critics will continue. According to Kolář, the trips did not cost taxpayers anything. He added that the same people should also be interested in the cost of Tomio Okamura's flight from Prague to Slovakia, his trips in an official BMW, and his, according to Kolář, unnecessary trips to China with the communists. He reminded that Okamura, in his view, humiliated Markéta Pekarová and promised that he would not use the BMW. He was also interested in who would cover the damage for the flight to China that Zůna has now canceled. #prezident #soukromí #politika (translated)

BostonTea cited a statement by Rafał Ziemkiewicz, who encouraged bringing Indians to Poland, noting that Poles also litter in forests. He then wrote that a local activist, Bittu Tabahi, had been cleaning a river in his hometown alone for eight months, but after just a few weeks, residents began throwing waste back into it. According to BostonTea, the river had once again turned into a stinking floating dump. He added that Poles also litter, but in his opinion, the scale of this phenomenon is incomparable to the scale of littering in India. #śmieci #Polska #ekologia (translated)

Jakub Pomezański described the recent events at the zoo in Łączna, which he called destroyed and robbed as well as the best in Poland. He claimed that individuals associated with suspicious foundations secured the most valuable animals and transported them to the Netherlands, and on site, bones of animals resembling goats were found, which, in his opinion, did not look like they had been lying in the ground for a long time. Pomezański wrote that the owner of the zoo was imprisoned based on charges he considered absurd. He also accused the foundations of lacking interest in the remaining animals, which were said to be roaming the area uncontrolled. According to him, some animals escaped through a fallen fence, which appeared to be damaged from the inside, undermining the theory that people gathered outside the zoo were defending the facility. He added that the police arrested a mother who came with children to the zoo to — as he wrote — defend it from destruction. Pomezański stated that the case raises his suspicions and expressed concern that since similar actions might affect a large company, individuals could also be at risk. He noted that the photos depicted the zoo in August 2025 and expressed outrage at those who would want to destroy it. #ZOO #Polska #sprawiedliwość (translated)

Karol wrote that two years after the birth of their daughter, he and his wife decided to have a second child, but the woman lost the pregnancy in the third month. He reported that they went to the hospital on Karowa Street, where a nurse allegedly refused to accompany his wife during further procedures, saying that "it’s not a circus." Karol claimed that when they asked about the possibility of burying the child, it was suggested to his wife to treat it as medical waste, and the burial was described as troublesome. He wrote that his wife was left without the support of a loved one and took medication for a year to cope mentally with the situation. The author accused the medical staff of humiliating patients and harming their health. He also announced that he would later describe how the hospital on Żelazna intended to send them away due to the lack of a purchased "premium midwife." Finally, he addressed Mr. Pisula with a question about whether he would like to add anything. #strata #cierpienie #zdrowie (translated)
