Radko Sáblík thanked the voters for their votes in the Senate elections and stated that he respected their decision to prefer his opponent. He congratulated Václav Láska on his victory and wished him success in the Senate; he also appreciated the decency of his campaign. He thanked the student team that prepared and organized his campaign, as well as its contributors, especially the ODS. At the same time, he apologized for not being able to convert the funds raised into a Senate mandate. Sáblík stated that the unsuccessful candidacy marked the end of an important chapter in his life. For the next two years, he wants to focus on handing over the Smíchov High School to his successor and concentrate entirely on the school, rather than continue striving for changes in Czech education. He did not perceive the defeat as fatal and wanted to redirect his attention elsewhere. #volby #politika #senát (translated)

Petr Holec noted that former German President Christian Wulff resigned on February 17, 2012, after just 20 months in office due to allegations of corruption and receiving benefits from entrepreneurs. According to information he cited from Echo24, Wulff, a CDU politician who was pushed into office in 2010 by Chancellor Angela Merkel, faced criticism for his contacts with business people during the time he was leading the government of Lower Saxony from 2003 to 2010. Holec also stated that there were suspicions that Wulff accepted invitations for vacations and other benefits. Investigators, according to him, focused on his relationship with film producer David Groenewold, who allegedly covered some of Wulff's hotel stays on the island of Sylt and expenses related to a visit to the Munich Oktoberfest. Wulff claimed that these were private friendly relationships and that he subsequently paid the costs. Holec further wrote that Petr Pavel is allegedly set to announce his resignation as president on Monday at 9:00 and to apologize to the public for its undignified performance. #politika #korupce #česko (translated)

Jiří Coufal stated that when leaving the ramp, an active element was likely embedded in the floor of the Tesla Roadster. He believed it could be part of the "sucker" system, which he thought was supported by the cloud of dust behind the car. Although the underside footage of the floor appeared exposed and no such element was visible, Coufal judged that the car could have some mechanism of this type. He was disappointed that less attention was paid to his explanation than to the active wing, and hoped that further information about its operation would emerge in the following days. #Tesla #Roadster #automobilismus (translated)

Katja Kokot noted that "they" have money and are corrupt, and that attention is, in her opinion, once again being directed towards commenting on the problem rather than the problem itself. She compared this to eavesdropping, where, in her words, the blame lies with the one who recorded it. She labeled such a redirection of attention from the real problem as a form of art. She added that others can continue to publish her edited photos, even those on which she looks bad, but she sarcastically remarked that this will not solve the country’s issues or improve people's lives. #denar #težave #kritika (translated)

Boris Šťastný stated that the round-trip ticket for Petr Macinka to New York in business class for 197,447 CZK and five round-trip tickets for his companions in economy class for a total of 164,481 CZK, or 32,896 CZK each, represented usual prices. The rental of a private Hawker 900XP plane for 365,000 CZK for approximately 7.5 hours of flight and waiting in Prague on the Casablanca–Prague route and back for Petr Pavel, on the other hand, he described as unusually and suspiciously cheap. According to him, the media campaign was clearly intended to distract attention from this fact. #letenky #cestování #mediálníetika (translated)

Player number 34 said that the loss will take a long time to process because, in his opinion, it was a clear match that they should have brought home for three points. He mentioned that the focus will be on Tobias, who otherwise delivered an excellent performance, and added that the team could not afford so many missed opportunities. He identified the main cause of the failure as the resolution of situations in the last third of the field. According to him, the team should quickly recover and travel to Ostrava with the aim of redeeming the loss and winning. #34PoHvizdu #fotbal #sport #zápas (translated)

Ondřej Černý wrote that he came from a poor family and recalled from his grandmother's stories how she counted the siblings who had died as young children from illnesses, such as "božec," meaning febrile convulsions. He mentioned that there was no money for doctors back then and that the family always valued food very much. Later, he noted that he discovered that Ukrainians have a similar relationship with food due to ancestral memories of the Holodomor. He also recalled the text from Ork about a rich man who extinguished a cigar on an ox's eye, and about gluttony being essentially a sin and the childish destruction of a good thing. He wrote that for "this" his late grandmother would have given Filípek a whack. In conclusion, he contrasted adults who tried to improve the world around them with those he labeled as big children seeking attention through expensive toys and loud behavior. #historie #paměť #rodina (translated)

This has nothing to do with the truth, but unfortunately, when Aleksandar Vučić speaks, he must present himself as a victim and a protector of Serbianhood. The protest note is in that vein and I don't see room for it to be interpreted from a different angle. The president of the Homeland Movement, Ivan Penava, believes that the protest note from Serbia is just a trick to attract attention and Vučić's way of boosting his chances in the upcoming elections. #Vučić #Srbija #Hrvatska (translated)

The author Kutil Ondra wrote that the public debate devoted disproportionate attention to the private vacation trip of the president and demands for its transparency, while other topics remained sidelined. He stated that the state-owned ČEPRO was, in his view, trading billions without a public tender with companies connected to the prime minister, that statements from some MPs about children with mental difficulties only outraged part of the public, and that warnings from security services or questions regarding the defense of the state faced trivialization from some government politicians. He also criticized the glorification of allegedly clean coal and arguments against renewable sources, which he labeled as outdated, and reminded of the country's indebtedness as well as unresolved issues regarding the prime minister's conflict of interest. He added that he remembered what the current prime minister said about financing his private vacations, but felt ashamed to write it down; he also felt ashamed, in his own words, of who stands at the head of the government. What he found most disturbing was that people have stopped asking about a number of important matters. #politika #transparentnost #odpovědnost (translated)

The author of the initiative asked President Petr Pavel to disclose the details of the funding for his private trip to Morocco, including the costs of air travel. He stated that the public has the right to transparency from all public officials and that an explanation could close the matter. At the same time, he indicated that the attention of government deputies should be directed towards more pressing issues. He mentioned the purchases of state-owned Čeper from Agrofert for billions of crowns without a public tender, unresolved questions concerning the conflict of interest of Prime Minister Andrej Babiš, the state budget situation, and the defense and security of the Czech Republic. He claimed that deputies had been dealing with the funding of the president's trip for already two weeks and called for similar diligence in overseeing the management of the state and their own political representatives. #transparentnost #veřejnépeníze #politika (translated)

More attention must be paid to food security at all levels, as the exploitation of food has become a reality.
