"Throughout this period, of a year and three or four months, there have been all sorts of excuses and scenarios in the minds of some, mainly to justify incompetence and certain disastrous results. There were scenarios of understandings and deals between PSD and Nicușor Dan. But these scenarios were actually justifications for them to hide their incompetence. PSD is extremely disappointed, and you know this; I don’t need to tell you, about the choice that Nicușor Dan made last night. I’m not saying it’s unconstitutional; I’m not saying it’s illegal. But we would have expected that after four right-wing prime ministers, there would be a chance for those who won the elections. That is, for us to be given this mandate. Justified, I requested it yesterday. I want to be very clear. In the discussions we had at Cotroceni, I requested the mandate of prime minister. The solution the president offered was to grant this mandate to Luca Niculescu. Ultimately, these decisions show that there was never any understanding between Nicușor Dan and PSD. These scenarios existed, I repeat, only in the sick mind of those who try to hide their incompetence through justifications of this type. The president of PSD, Sorin Grindeanu, stated on Tuesday that the appointment of Luca Niculescu for the position of prime minister 'is not unconstitutional', but he would have expected president Nicușor Dan to appoint him." #SorinGrindeanu #PSD #LucaNiculescu (translated)

Maria❄️ commented on a scene from #gfvip where someone was telling a professor that it was about Madonna's story and accused a counterpart of pretending to be someone else.

Repubblica reported that Karl Deisseroth received the news of the 2026 Nobel Prize in Medicine shortly after midnight, awarded to him along with Peter Hegemann and Georg Nagel, and waited until morning to share it with his five children. The video of the family scene was published by Stanford University in California, where Deisseroth trained and worked as a professor of bioengineering, psychiatry, and behavioral sciences. According to Repubblica, the three scientists laid the foundations of optogenetics, which combines genetics and optics to study cell behavior and control nerve signals with light. Their studies allowed for detailed observation of the brain, even intervening in the activity of single nerve cells in a living organism. The method was used in laboratories around the world to study how emotions and memories are organized. #Nobel #Medicina #Scienza (translated)

P – Paukner Media claimed that the media paid more attention to the accident of Filip Turek than to the testimony of Hana Marvanová in the Dozimetr case. According to him, Marvanová spoke in court about practices that she had warned Vítem Rakušan about back in 2022. The author also recalled her concerns about Stanislav Polčák and the connections between Polčák and Petr Gazdík with the Redl family, including consultations and the selection of people for state enterprises. The post stated that Polčák went on vacation with Redl and that Redl's father is currently facing trial for embezzlement in Prague. The author also wrote that investigative files had not been provided to the parliamentary committee, so according to him, it was unclear to what extent the STAN movement collaborated with individuals referred to by Marvanová as "the boys from Zlín." Regarding Turek, the author noted that the police dismissed his accident because, according to their conclusion, no crime occurred, and the prosecutor did not appeal against it. He criticized Seznam Zprávy for repeatedly changing the headlines about whether Turek met the criteria for a crime, asserting that all its elements had to be fulfilled according to valid law. According to the author, the case was also reported by Czech Television, Forum24, Novinky, and Deník N, while apart from iRozhlas and ČTK, other media did not focus on Marvanová's testimony. The author suggested that the attention given to Turek was intended to overshadow the Dozimetr case and linked the media events to Jan Dobrovský, whom he called the largest sponsor of STAN. He also announced that he wanted to publish materials from the so-called "Paukner archive." #mafie #Praha #politika (translated)

Tomasz Włodarczyk criticized Jan Urban's decisions, pointing out that if the goal was to gradually build a new Polish national team, more than the poor results, he was troubled by the mistakes in the selection of solutions. He mentioned, among other things, the withdrawal from the position of Kiwior at left back, the sudden return to a three-defender formation, and the omission of Wiśniewski, the resignation from Puchacz, and the placement of Świderski on the wing both when wingers were available and when strikers were lacking. The author assessed that Urban, as a coach, should observe more, yet he repeated the mistakes made by his predecessors. He noted that young players, including Nowak and Potulski, did not disappoint during the camp, and the mistakes concerning Mońca, Gurgul, or Mazurek could be considered mitigating circumstances. He added that the national team forgives less than clubs and should not be a place for regularly testing solutions that are highly unlikely to work. Włodarczyk also accused Urban of not providing enough options in attack and left back through his selections. He reminded that Poland played four matches in eleven days, and the coach should consider injuries, suspensions, and the course of the matches. After the loss in a key game, he considered the lack of options for substitutions in attack to be a serious mistake; he pointed out that a strong striker good in the air could have been useful in recovering from a deficit. The author assessed that Urban had little time, but wanted him to be given a chance for correction in November, as the camp provided him with some concrete answers. He acknowledged that others might find this insufficient, while emphasizing that simply changing the coach would not solve the problems, especially if done hastily. #ReprezentacjaPolski #JanUrban #Futbol (translated)

"From a financial point of view, perhaps the most favorable solution for Germany would be not to have a new financial program, but no one wants such a scenario because it is important for the effectiveness of European internal and external actions." German Chancellor F. Merz also expressed hope that an agreement on the new EU budget could be reached by the end of this year, and that with Lithuania presiding over the EU Council, it would be possible to move on to the implementation of individual programs. #ESbiudžetas #Lietuva #pirmininkavimas (translated)

Mirko Nicolino described the scenario of the FIGC after the president of CONI, Buonfiglio, opened the door: according to him, Malagò would have been appointed as commissioner and would then have checked if there was a majority to return to the presidency.

"Luca Niculescu is a diplomat, meaning a person whose profession is to harmonize positions. In the last 4 years, he has been involved in Romania's accession process to the OECD. In this capacity, he worked with the institutions of the Romanian state and carried out 4 years of work that led to the development of hundreds of normative acts. It is time for Romania to make the leap that accession to the OECD allows. We have adapted our legislation, and now we need to be able to implement it." President Nicușor Dan announced on Monday evening a proposal for prime minister, at the end of a day in which consultations with the parties revealed a deeply divided political scene marked by threats from the opposition, calls for early elections, and a lack of a clear majority. #LucaNiculescu #NicusorDan #guvernare (translated)
