Lukáš Valášek thanked the ČT24 newsroom for the report on Yang Yi-min, whom he labeled as a Chinese propagandist. He stated that Yang is currently on trial accused of espionage for the Chinese communist government. Valášek questioned whether the government coalition would fulfill its promise to limit the crime of collaborating with a foreign power. According to him, this particular paragraph allowed the police to detain Yang. Previously, Yang had met with Jan Zahradil, a foreign policy advisor to Petr Macinka, the head of Motorists for Themselves. Valášek also wrote that according to the security community, China wants to exchange Yang for a Czech citizen detained in China. Although Petr Macinka asserted that the cases are unrelated, Valášek said that any potential exchange was decided by the court, not by politicians. https://t.co/UPgHMkzs18 #špionáž #Čína #justice (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)

"There are two options in the game: a broad coalition of all these groupings with 29 mandates, or narrower cooperation only between the Mayors and the triple bloc with a narrow majority of 21 votes. This is what the leader of the Mayors, Věra Stojar, can imagine. However, for practical reasons, the spokesperson of the triple bloc and leader of Together for Zlín, Aleš Dufek from KDU-ČSL, rejects it," explains Radiožurnál reporter Michaela Kočendová. #Volby2026 #Koalice #Česko (translated)

The real estate buyer wrote that he had been involved in the real estate market for eleven years and began to publicly present himself under his own name at the end of 2022. In mid-2023, he stated that he started to point out that property prices had already fallen sufficiently, and his team began to buy. A year later, he claimed it turned out that they were buying almost at the bottom of the market. He noted that since the end of 2023, they had been making one acquisition after another and at the same time helped nearly 70 families acquire their own housing. By the end of 2024, he said he started to limit investment purchases because prices were distancing from economic reality and purchasing power. In 2025, he described the market as less rational and began to publicly recommend selling some properties. By the end of the year, according to him, they sold more than they bought, and properties that no longer made sense in terms of returns and costs were mostly sold at peak market prices. The real estate buyer stated that some clients had approved mortgages with a rate around 4.4% and at least a two-year term for drawing. He also wrote that the number of apartments on the public market increased by 35% and mortgage rates reached 5.4%. He added that his experience led him to encourage people to rely on their own judgment when making decisions, but to be prepared to bear the consequences of any mistake. #nemovitosti #investice #realitnítrh (translated)
