"We are not planning electoral fraud, but they are, all of them. Half of their candidates come from the old political regime, which has pushed the country to the brink of plunder." The party has won four consecutive elections, and he himself has been in power for a total of 12 years as Serbia's prime minister and then president. Aleksandar Vučić's main message for the early parliamentary elections on October 25 is nonetheless that the voters' decision must be defended at all costs from electoral manipulation and the opposition who are ready to plunder the country. #Szerbia #választások #demokrácia (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)

SK Slavia Prague stated that the Sports Club Slavia Prague, the association, is a separate legal entity that has been long-term led by Jiří Vrba. According to the football club, under his leadership, the association got into a financial situation with liabilities exceeding 200 million crowns. Football Slavia stated that it is one of the 34 member sections of the association and in May helped resolve the critical financial situation by securing a loan of 130 million crowns. The club stated that it does not seek to purchase the land that it has leased. According to them, the lease agreement is secured until 2094, and it guarantees the conditions necessary for further development of the stadium and related infrastructure. It added that the crisis management board of the association listed the sale of the swimming stadium, hotel, or land to the hockey club as possible solutions to its financial situation, but not the sale of land to football Slavia. Slavia rejected the notion that the football club is responsible for the current situation of the association. It stated that Vrba ran in the municipal elections on Friday and needed to present his view of events to the public. At the same time, it wrote that it would welcome if the dispute went to court, where, in its view, it would be possible to assess the documents and the responsibility of the individuals. The club also recalled a letter that Vrba, as the then-chairman of the association's board, addressed to the Mayor of Prague on March 13, 2026. According to Slavia, it indicated that Vrba signed the relevant contract based on a promise of a grant. In the letter, according to the club, he pointed out that the association faced the threat of insolvency, loss of the allocated grant, and serious consequences for the further functioning of the club and its sports complex. Slavia stated that these words adequately described the current situation of the association, and it did not consider further comments necessary. #SlaviaPraha #fotbal #ekonomika (translated)

Tomas Kapler stated in his contribution that the discovery of two fragments of pyrite in a former clay pit near English Barnham, according to him, pushed evidence of fire being used by humans back by 350,000 years. A team from the British Museum, led by Nick Ashton and Rob Davis, found them in reddish clay, even though pyrite was not naturally present in the area, according to Kapler. Archaeologists also discovered charred and heat-cracked hand axes and soil burned at over 700 °C there. It reportedly took scientists four years to eliminate the possibility of a fire caused by lightning. Kapler wrote that research published in December 2025 in the journal Nature described the oldest unequivocal evidence that humans could make fire themselves. According to him, the previous such evidence came from Neanderthal sites in northern France and was 50,000 years old. The find from Barnham, according to Kapler, shows that humans had this ability already 400,000 years ago. Chris Stringer from the Natural History Museum in London speculated that they were early Neanderthals, among other reasons based on finds from Swanscombe and Atapuerca. The contribution also addressed the fact that archaeological finds mainly preserve stone, while wood, leather, and plant fibers deteriorate. Kapler recalled a 35,000-year-old tool made from mammoth ivory from the German cave Hohle Fels, whose holes, according to him, allowed for the production of rope, and a six-millimeter fragment of a cord 50,000 years old found in the French Abri du Maras. Archaeologist Bruce Hardy's estimate that we know less than 10 percent of the ordinary life of prehistoric humans was linked by Kapler to the items that did not survive, such as nets, bags, bowstrings, or footwear. According to his conclusion, the image of the Stone Age captures primarily what has not perished. #Archeologie #DobaKamenná #Historie (translated)
