Zdeněk Šarapatka commented on Mirka Němcová's appearance on Czech television and wrote that her expression, in his opinion, conveyed suffering and resentment. He referred to her sitting for an hour opposite Robert Šlachta as an act of bravery. He attributed to him and his team a role in the fall of the Nečas government, the formation of Zeman's presidential government, and the subsequent rise of ANO and Andrej Babiš. He recalled that thirteen years ago, 400 members of Šlachta's command intervened at the government building and that the operation, according to him, concerned luxury handbags and surveillance connected to Jana Nagyová. Šarapatka assigned responsibility to Šlachta and his colleague from the VSZ for Miloš Zeman's refusal to accept 101 signatures of MPs from the then Speaker of the Chamber, Němcová, and to appoint a government according to the Constitution. He described Zeman's government as a composition of people from the environment of social democrats and their supporters. He also stated that the state, in his opinion, subsequently faced problems with Babiš, whom he accused of embezzling public property. He labeled Šlachta as a former policeman and ally of Zeman and Babiš who became a politician. He estimated that he could switch to Václav Láska, who, according to him, hinted at new members of his senatorial club on television the day before. According to Šarapatka, Němcová's departure from high politics was not a reason for her tenure in the Senate and earlier in the Chamber to end in the way she demonstrated on Czech Television. In conclusion, he thanked her for her public service. #respekt (translated)

Žan Mahnič thanked everyone who voted four times in favor at the Sunday referendums. He assessed that the result, despite greater engagement from the left, exceeded the expectations of the right. According to him, the campaign was supported by leftist parties, several dozen NGOs, influencers, unions, RTV Slovenia, and activists, who he claimed received funding from the state budget through calls for proposals, while only right-wing parties participated on the other side. Mahnič noted that the left expected a victory of 70 to 30, but that did not happen. He added that the two referendums won by the left were decided by a few hundred votes. He interpreted the result as confirmation that the direction of the government led by Janez Janša is supported by 50 percent of voters, even though surveys estimated support at around 40 percent, and in some areas considerably more than 50 percent. He assessed the political balance in Slovenia as 50:50 and predicted that in ten years, due to the voting habits of older and younger voters, it could turn in favor of the right. For the upcoming referendum on the intervention law for the development of Slovenia, he called for a joint campaign of advocates for lower taxes and less bureaucracy. He believed that right-wing parties alone would not be able to secure a victory and that artisans, entrepreneurs, retirees, students, healthcare workers, and others affected by the law should be involved. He attributed a stronger mobilization to the opposing side than that seen in the Sunday referendums and assessed that their concerns were not about Slovenia and the citizens' wallets, but rather their own benefits. Mahnič also warned of the possibility that there might be too few representatives of the advocates in the face-offs organized by RTV Slovenia compared to politicians, NGOs, unionists, and influencers on the opposing side. He urged those affected to actively engage in the campaign and asked what they were willing to do for collective success. #Slovenija #politika #referendum (translated)

If we look at the watercourses and some reservoirs, we see that it is not good. But for now, it is by no means an apocalypse. That needs to be said. We do not live in an extreme situation like the floods of 2002. But we are experiencing something that shows us that if a year like 2026 were to repeat in 2027 and 2028, then in 2028 we will really be reaching for the last reserves of water, "said Miroslav Trnka, director of the Global Change Research Institute, in an interview. #sucho #voda #Česko (translated)
