It is a matter I have been talking about for a long time, and I wanted to put it on paper so that it would not just be promises, because part of the citizens unfortunately do not believe the politicians' promises, so I wanted to do it formally like this," Půta said on Saturday for ČTK. The whole case has been going on for more than 12 years, and I have no interest in prolonging it. #Půta #senátnívolby #korupce (translated)

The National Center Against Organized Crime (NCOZ) carried out a raid in the case of the bond company Future Farming and its interlinked groups, which disappointed investors with unsecured bonds worth over a billion after most of their projects remained only on paper and the companies failed to resolve their financial issues. #dluhopisy #organizovanyzlocin #budoucnostfarming (translated)

Katja Kokot replied that almost all documents are taken for destruction, although some pages may have been lost among the magazines. She added that there are also offices of the Democrats, NSi, and some committees nearby, hinting that in the past there had evidently been something interesting, which made it worth reviewing the documents. She explained that these accumulate over time even in the computer age, as MPs note down what they want to say during sessions and meetings when it's their turn. These notes apparently should also be interesting. #papir #politika #zapiski (translated)

Katja Kokot wrote that the day before she noticed a member of the Freedom Party in the National Assembly searching through a pile of waste paper on a floor without their offices, even though their paper bins are elsewhere. She claimed that he was looking for handwritten materials from other members, that he did not notice her, and that he was in a hurry to avoid being caught by someone. She described his behavior as spying and characterized it as lowly, without shame or dignity. #politika #Slovenija #odgovornost (translated)

David Grudl criticized the labeling and placement of the pickup box, which he claimed looked like a Balíkovna, even though it was an OX Point device. He stated that the box bore the logos of Balíkovna, Basileus, One by Allegro, and OX Point, with the most prominent one belonging to a service that, according to him, did not deliver packages. He asked readers who picked up a package from Basileus in the box to explain which service it was. Grudl described that his SMS only mentioned Balíkovna, and therefore the box rejected his code. According to him, it was explained in small print on the device that packages could only be picked up if the customer received a message with the designation "OX Balíkovna." He added that the package then, in his experience, waited at the postal counter. He identified another issue, noting that the box was inside a branch of Česká pošta, which locked up in the evening and on weekends. According to Grudl, thus, the device was accessible when the customer could use the counter, but they could not get to it outside of opening hours. He identified the clearest instruction in the room as a green sign with a figure escaping from the door. #Balíkovna #zásilka #pošta (translated)

Radim Ivan stated that local STAN accounts accused him of lying after he wrote that the Ostrava STAN supported the ANO candidate for the Senate, Ondřej Šimetka, by ceding advertising space. According to him, he did not contest the official support of STAN, but criticized that on spaces that previously belonged to the Christian Democrats who are running independently in Poruba, Šimetka now hangs. Ivan wrote that he received no offer of advertising space or expression of support for the opposition candidate from either the Ostrava STAN or its leader Boháč. He claimed he was told that there was no option other than cooperation with ANO. According to him, STAN had repeatedly pointed this out to Boháč and others and is still waiting for a statement from the regional chairwoman of STAN, Šebelová. He added that if a coalition were formed in the city without ANO, there would be a 99% probability he would lose his position as deputy mayor because, in the southern district, such a coalition is apparently not possible. He marked the situation in Havířov as another problem for which their party rightly faces criticism; he stated they want to address it at the level of regional leadership and that he asked Christian Democratic leader Jan Grolich to also engage with it. He identified the main goal as shifting the Ostrava agglomeration towards a modern European metropolis. According to him, coalitions of parties that are now in opposition could have arisen in Opava, Frýdek-Místek, Ostrava, and Havířov, thus balancing the relationships in the region. Instead, he says there is a danger of further fragmentation and prioritization of partial interests. #politika #Ostrava #koalice (translated)

Slush stated that in his opinion, people overlooked the possible consequences of the public administration starting to use large language models. He expected that more regulations and directives would be issued, and that targeted inspections would be conducted more frequently or requests for explanations would be made. He claimed that the previous limitations were due to the capacity of officials who had to process submissions manually. He added that, according to him, the tactic of overwhelming authorities with documents would stop working, because an automated system would be able to filter out irrelevant information. He also mentioned that a colleague recently told him that the communication style of the tax office suggests the deployment of automated agents. Slush characterized this as a step towards dehumanizing public administration and its detachment from reality. #státníSpráva #regulace #automatizace (translated)

"NATO now exists only on paper and is not a guarantee of our defense, but on the contrary, it pursues an aggressive policy and tolerates violations of international law by Turkey as its member state," Mr. Radovan said in a test of time. "NATO now exists only on paper and is not a guarantee of our defense, but on the contrary, it pursues an aggressive policy and tolerates violations of international law by Turkey as its member state," said a certain Mr. Radovan five years ago, who, through the lens of General Hlaváč, would probably not have received the cover either. #ArmádaČR #Ukrajina #bezpečnost (translated)

Zoltán wrote that they have declassified the government resolutions numbered 3000 that were classified until 2034. According to his statement, the first 13 documents made public concerned a total of 65 billion forints: one of them involved Antal Rogán's team allocating 6.5 billion forints annually for newspaper reading and media monitoring, while another document indicated that TIM provided 8 billion forints for studies and public opinion research. Zoltán claimed that part of the money went to entities close to Századvég and the government. He argued that while there weren't enough funds for maintaining railway lines, school heating, and hospitals, billions were spent on monitoring the media and measuring public sentiment. He also criticized that the decisions were classified for ten years and noted that the proposals suggested avoiding press conferences and limiting public communication. He added that later, in response to questions from the press, Bertalan Havasi presented the decision favorably. https://t.co/vHwtXBO6n2 #magyar2026 #Tisza2026 #kormány #pénzügy #államtitok (translated)

When the president of the internationally recognized Yemeni government, Rashad al-Alimi, declared the launch of a comprehensive military offensive aimed at ousting the Houthis from all parts of the country in front of cameras this weekend, it sounded on paper like a decisive turning point, writes Reuters. #naftnaKriza #Jemen #inflacija (translated)

She added that the Prime Minister seemed not to be very eager about the outcome of the Senate and municipal elections. She also criticized that she had to work on Saturday and go to a concert of Vladimír Štancl. #papírovýpočítač #babišjezrůda #bezgelu #bezdomovci #politika #volby (translated)

Zoltán wrote that Viktor spoke at a village forum about how Hankó Balázs is sitting because he believes that support was allocated based on party loyalty and personal considerations, not on a professional basis. According to the author, this is exactly what the prosecution accuses him of. He believed that Viktor presented Hankó as a martyr while shifting the responsibility onto him, and then ironically remarked that even the long-defunct SZDSZ was blamed for what happened. Zoltán thinks that the Kecskemét District Court could even show the recording of Sunday's public forum at the trial. #magyar2026 #Tisza2026 #politika #Fidesz #magyarság (translated)

Truth claimed that the "Progressives" party routinely covers for its members accused of violence or misconduct. It wrote that Mārtiņš, described as a burned-out progressive, had seduced an orphan, and the party considered it a minor issue. Truth also claimed that Andris Sprūds had beaten his wife until she left him, and that Atis Švinka had harassed female employees at the Ministry of Defense without the party reacting to it. Regarding Staķis, Truth wrote that he had slept with aides and used drugs, claiming the whole party was aware of it. Truth also accused Švinka of embezzlement through his wife Anda Švinka’s organization, stating that the funds did not reach women who had suffered from violence. Truth also claimed that for the "Progressives," the Istanbul Convention exists only on paper and not in real life, asking how naive or foolish one must be to ignore this information. #Progresīvie #vardarbība #StambulasKonvencija (translated)
