Petros Michopulos from Kecy&Politika announced that a new episode dedicated to the election results and reactions to them will be released after midnight. According to him, it will address why ANO voters left Andrej Babiš "without hair gel," how he coped with the situation, and why he behaved like Jakeš. The episode was also supposed to discuss whether the results indicated a peak in the popularity of the ANO movement, whether Babiš made a mistake by not coordinating candidate lists with SPD and Motorists, and why ANO lost in its traditional strongholds. Michopulos also hinted at an analysis of surprising and interesting results and other perspectives on the elections. #volby #politika #ANO (translated)

Veronika Vrecionová appreciated Mirka Němcová's reaction to Petr Macinka's statement, which she labeled as foolish and immature. She added that, in her opinion, Macinka probably inhaled diesel fumes before the government press conference, which clouded his mind. https://t.co/5W0RBvs6BA #politika #diskuze #kritika (translated)

Lukáš Valášek wrote that Foreign Minister Petr Macinka rejected support for the Finnish proposal to limit the entry of hundreds of thousands of Russians into the EU. According to him, Macinka claimed that the initiative had no chance of success. Valášek added that the Czech Republic had applied a similar regime, but Russians could enter the country from neighboring states. According to Valášek, Macinka's decision went against the positions of the top leadership of the Foreign Ministry, as was evident from internal communications he had access to. Čeněk Hajný, head of the director’s office of the European Department of the Ministry, reportedly recommended joining the Finnish initiative because its content was in line with Czech positions. Valášek stated that Russians were obtaining about half a million visas to the EU each year, with the most being issued by Italy and Spain. Finnish Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen reportedly pointed out in a letter to Prague the Russian attacks on Ukraine as well as the threat of sabotage and other hybrid operations in the EU. She proposed not to issue visas for non-essential travel, including tourism. https://t.co/VYoTXSXV92 #Rusko #EU #viza (translated)

Schools, hospitals, and homes remain under attack. Russian sabotage and other hybrid operations threaten the European Union. The Kremlin assesses our determination based on our actions. Where they encounter hesitation, they push further. We must raise the price they pay for their illegal war, and part of this response must also be Europe's visa policy. Valtonen wrote to Prague, suggesting, among other things, not granting visas for non-essential trips, including tourism. #Finsko #Rusko #víza (translated)

Robert Ágh wrote that flying a private jet was a common practice for Andrej Babiš. He stated that Babiš did not own a plane and reminded that he criticized Kellner for owning a private jet. According to Ágh, Babiš therefore rented a plane. He also asked from whom and for how much, and whether there were any quid pro quos behind the rental. He also expressed sadness over the media's reaction, which he felt contributed to a campaign against the president. #politika #Babiš #médiá (translated)

Ondra Černý, who stated that he is studying for a master's program in public law in France and is also dealing with internal security law, explained the differences between three French security components. According to him, the municipal police fall under the mayor and focus mainly on local order, prevention, supervision, and handling misdemeanors. He does not believe they are primarily intended to suppress large-scale violent riots. Černý wrote that municipal police officers may face hundreds of aggressive individuals during violent demonstrations and typically lack the training, equipment, or manpower of specialized state units. Therefore, he described their retreat as a possible security necessity, not necessarily cowardice. He stated that the national police fall under the Ministry of the Interior and that its CRS units are trained for interventions during large demonstrations. He characterized the gendarmerie as an armed force of a military nature; its mobile units intervene during riots and also use Centaure armored vehicles. He described the CRS and mobile gendarmerie as the backbone of the French system for managing large demonstrations. He added that the municipal police cannot conduct general identity checks based solely on suspicion, but they can do so when dealing with legally defined offenses. If a person refuses to cooperate, according to him, the municipal police officer must contact the relevant officer from the national police or gendarmerie. Černý also mentioned that in France there are joint workspaces and coordinated patrols of municipal and national police, aimed at improving cooperation and information sharing; however, he noted that a joint workspace does not mean the same powers. #Francie #veřejnéprávo #bezpečnost (translated)

Ivan Bartoš described Andrej Babiš's reaction to the possibility of the United Kingdom returning to the EU as another international disgrace and sharply portrayed Babiš as an Eastern oligarch focused on business. He wrote that he could have chosen a number of other responses, remained silent, or mentioned the defense and conditions for the 40,000 Czechs living and working in Britain. According to Bartoš, instead he said: "We need more money." https://t.co/VQOFhFykzP #VelkáBritánie #EU #Babiš (translated)

A documentary film can capture reality as a story. And the story of someone specific, who unfortunately made a commonly tolerated mistake with tragic consequences while driving, is much closer to you than when you leaf through the crime reports. It will occur to you that you could have been behind the wheel. Our film has already been seen by test audiences and when the lights came on in the hall, their first reaction was that they began to passionately discuss how they themselves drive and what offenses they commit most often. I see meaning in that, and that's why we made the film,” says the director of the film, Vít Klusák. #JedináVteřina #dopravnínehody #VítKlusák (translated)

Jana wrote that Czech Television expected people to defend it against nationalization due to the licensing fees, while any confirmation of a conflict of interest by the Prime Minister from the European Commission would, according to her, be met by Události with only a few seconds of reserved reactions. She added that such a watchdog did not deserve defense. #CzechTV #zestátnění #střetzájmu (translated)

Roman Kolář described the development as the disintegration of the state and defense, stating that the government is moving faster than Viktor Orbán during his 16 years in power. According to Kolář, Hungary has ended up economically troubled, riddled with corruption, and under the influence of Vladimir Putin. Referring to the text of the Shield of Democracy, he mentioned that Defense Minister Zůna from SPD ordered the recall of General Haratek from the Information and Cyber Forces. The unit, according to the cited text, was created in 2019 in response to Russian disinformation and was also supposed to address threats on the internet. Kolář wrote that ANO MP Růžička had long attacked the unit and portrayed its training, during which soldiers recorded public posts of prominent individuals on social media, as surveillance of citizens. According to the text of the Shield of Democracy, the training was not illegal, and it was this very accusation that Minister Zůna used to dismiss Haratek. Kolář stated that the aim was to restrict the unit and condemned the government for it. #demokracie #dezinformace #kybernetickábezpečnost (translated)

Vít Rakušan stated that the president vetoed a new law on civil servants, which he claimed was prepared by the government coalition and was supposed to replace the current civil service law. He cited threats to the independence of public administration, the absence of expert discussion, and a missing impact analysis as the reasons for the veto. Rakušan described the government's reaction to the veto as a retaliation against the president for exercising his constitutional right. He claimed that the coalition called the MPs together to override the law instead of engaging in debate and arguments. According to Rakušan, public administration needed experts who could work without fear of political pressure. He warned that employees under the threat of dismissal might yield to ministers, for example, when recovering improperly paid subsidies. #politika #vláda #prezident (translated)
