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)

My theory of victory is simple: we will repel the initial attack. If the attack continues, we will weaken it and prevent the enemy's advance. And if necessary, we will break the enemy forces and the operational combat system that is aimed against us. Grynkewich stated that NATO will combine modern precision weapons with a large number of cheaper, scalable systems to prevail over the opponent and prevent its forces from continuing the attack. #NATO #vojenskáobrana #bezpečnostnákonferencia (translated)

Vláďa Foltán labeled Donald Trump's post about the Nobel Peace Prize as bizarre and wrote that Trump criticized again for not having won the prize. According to Foltán, Trump claimed that he deserved eight Nobel Peace Prizes for resolving eight wars: between Cambodia and Thailand, Kosovo and Serbia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda, Pakistan and India, Israel and Iran, Egypt and Ethiopia, Armenia and Azerbaijan, and Israel and Hamas. According to Foltán, Trump also stated that he prevented Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, helped bring home all Israeli hostages including the last 28, both living and deceased, and negotiated the release of over 900 political prisoners from Eastern Europe. He also claimed that he brought home 196 hostages without ransom, forced NATO countries to increase defense spending from 2% to 5% of GDP, and removed Nicolás Maduro from Venezuela. The other two wars, in Iran and between Russia and Ukraine, he claimed were still in the planning stages for resolution or victory. Foltán stated that Trump questioned the merits of the woman in the photo he shared in his post and criticized the Nobel Prize as well as Norway. According to him, Trump claimed that the prize should have been awarded to the United States and labeled its awarding as a discredit to the accolade. #Trump #NobelovaCenaMíru #Politika (translated)

Vladimír Votápek labeled Donald Trump's effort to reach an agreement with Vladimir Putin as a fundamental mistake. He considered the main risk to be that Trump would pressure Kyiv to stop attacks on Russian refineries. According to Votápek, these represented the strongest leverage that Volodymyr Zelensky had to compel Putin to engage in serious talks about ending the fighting. Votápek stated that if Ukraine does not give up its effective weapon, Trump could significantly limit American aid, including the sharing of intelligence, which Europe, in his view, is currently unable to replace. He linked Trump's effort to negotiate with Russia to the impacts of the attack on Iran on oil and petroleum product prices and to concerns about Republican results in the midterms. He argued that any pressure on Ukraine could prolong the war and increase losses for the Ukrainian army and suffering for civilians. He also shared a headline suggesting that Russia was supposed to supply the USA and the world with nearly five million tons of diesel. https://t.co/QQSWEJQMjE #Trump #Putin #Ukrajina (translated)

Lazz Lazz referred to Trump as "Agent Krasnov." #Trump #Rusko #nafta (translated)
