Janusz Konieczny stated that the government was preparing a new grant program worth 200 million crowns, from which only businesses with billion-crown revenues or at least 250 employees could benefit. According to him, the conditions would favor Agrofert and other large holdings. He wrote that he began preparing a letter to the European Commission, which was to be sent the following day. He also reminded that at the beginning of the year, the government renewed a program worth 250 million crowns intended for large concerns and that Agrofert would receive the most from it, according to him. Konieczny claimed that representatives of the European Commission told him several years ago that the program for crop and livestock insurance is not intended for large businesses in other EU countries, with the exception of Poland. He explained to the European Commission the differences in farm sizes: the average in the EU was 17 hectares, in Poland 10 to 15 hectares, in Spain 30 hectares, and in the Czech Republic up to 130 hectares. He associated this situation with supporting the largest agricultural holdings. He recalled that eight years ago, he and Michal Bláha, the founder of Hlídač státu, investigated whether Agrofert was receiving subsidies intended for small and medium-sized enterprises. He stated that after two press conferences, Agrofert and other holdings had to return the subsidies and that the courts and the European Commission became involved in resolving the issue. Konieczny thanked Ivan Bartoš and the Association of Private Agriculture, especially its chairman Šebek, for their involvement in this matter. #dotace #zemědělství #EvropskáKomise (translated)

Engineer Honza stated that he proposed in the House to discuss a call to President Petr Pavel to reveal who rented the private jet for his vacation in Morocco and who paid for the trip. According to him, the costs must have reached millions of crowns. If Pavel did not pay from his personal account, he should, according to Honza, step down from his position; as a similar case, he mentioned the resignation of German President Christian Wulff in 2012. Honza claimed that the media, which he labeled as pro-Brussels, overlooked the topic and announced its discussion in the 360 program on CNN Prima News. According to him, the case could either damage the image of a president close to the people due to the luxury that 99% of citizens, in his words, cannot afford, or show that someone else paid for the trip, which he regarded as a reason for abdication. #politika #česko #občanskáodpovědnost (translated)

David Grudl criticized the labeling and placement of the pickup box, which he claimed looked like a Balíkovna, even though it was an OX Point device. He stated that the box bore the logos of Balíkovna, Basileus, One by Allegro, and OX Point, with the most prominent one belonging to a service that, according to him, did not deliver packages. He asked readers who picked up a package from Basileus in the box to explain which service it was. Grudl described that his SMS only mentioned Balíkovna, and therefore the box rejected his code. According to him, it was explained in small print on the device that packages could only be picked up if the customer received a message with the designation "OX Balíkovna." He added that the package then, in his experience, waited at the postal counter. He identified another issue, noting that the box was inside a branch of Česká pošta, which locked up in the evening and on weekends. According to Grudl, thus, the device was accessible when the customer could use the counter, but they could not get to it outside of opening hours. He identified the clearest instruction in the room as a green sign with a figure escaping from the door. #Balíkovna #zásilka #pošta (translated)

Graslik8 wrote after the match against Slavia that he was considering the future of the club and coach Jindřich Trpišovský. He criticized his long-term reliance on favored players, among which he included Jan Bořil, Standa Tecl, Ondřej Kolář, Tomáš Holeš, Lukáš Provod, and Tomáš Chorý. According to the author, some of them were given opportunities despite poor performances, while other players were not given a chance. He pointed to Provod and Chorý as current examples. Provod, he said, was one of the best players in the league when in top form, but this season he was far from his best, even though his playing time did not decrease. Graslik8 stated that Slavia had alternatives in the form of Ayaosi and Šturm, but the coach preferred to deploy Šturm in the wing-back position. The author compared the use of Chorý in European competitions to the repeated testing of the non-functioning duo Král–Souček. He wrote that Chorý could help Slavia in the league, but he did not believe he was suitable for the Champions League. At the same time, he questioned the claim that the club could not acquire a quality striker: he pointed out the spending of twelve million on N’Guessan and Diakité, of whom the former, according to him, played sporadically, and the latter almost not at all. He believed that the coaching staff did not want to deprive Chorý of his place. Graslik8 acknowledged that Slavia dominated the league and was heading for another title and a hat trick, and he praised Trpišovský's ability to develop players and sell them for high amounts. However, he stated that if the club wanted to succeed in cups and compete with strong teams, it was increasingly evident that this would not be achieved with Trpišovský at the helm. He wrote that Slavia would eventually have to make a difficult choice. #SlaviaPraga #fotbal #JindřichTrpišovský (translated)

"Lumír Aschenbrenner said today in a video that he will not give a recommendation to anyone in the second round. I was all the more surprised by the billboard on which he is photographed with Mrs. Kantorová.
