Vojtěch Gibiš described Donald Trump's statements on Sunday as a mix of lies, half-truths, and nonsense, and stated that he would debunk just one of them. According to Gibiš, Russia occupied less than 0.5% of Ukrainian territory during the two years Trump mentioned, and this year it did not gain any additional territory. https://t.co/0aYZigSkwJ #Trump #Rusko #Ukrajina (translated)

Kudela the G.O.A.T. described Tomáš Chorý's first season at Slavia as the hardest in terms of pressure, but he believed the player handled it excellently. He credited him with a key role in winning the title after three years, including goals and contributions to the game, and stated that he didn't cause any problems at that time. He couldn't understand why Chorý started behaving like he did in Plzeň in his second season and came under pressure again. The author recalled the May incident in the derby, after which, according to him, the locker room, the owner, and some fans defended Chorý. He wrote that the player turned his back on the people who supported him in the summer when he showed his middle finger to referee Všetečka. According to the author, for a significantly worse verbal insult, he would likely only have received a yellow card, and the chosen gesture could have ended his tenure in "the most ridiculous way" he had ever seen. Kudela the G.O.A.T. stated that Chorý's possible lapses deprived him of the chance to be the king of the league and wrote that it should be his end at Slavia. According to him, the end of his tenure would close a chapter that had divided the Slavia fans for two and a half years. He wished Slavia good luck in selecting a new striker in the winter transfer window. #SlaviaPraha #fotbal #Chorý (translated)

The ANO movement suffered a catastrophic result in the Senate elections, as in the second round it failed to gain the votes of its own voters from the first round, with the sole exception in Plzeň, consequently losing all its senators. #SenátníVolby #HnutíANO #AndrejBabiš (translated)

Zdeněk Šarapatka stated that he was pleased with the election results and perceived them as a rejection of Andrej Babiš and his allies in power. He described the outcome as a promising beginning of a political story that could end with Babiš's downfall, labeling Babiš as a criminal. According to Šarapatka, voters may have been disillusioned by unfulfilled promises and empty wallets. He also mentioned seniors who, in his view, watched a video of Filip Turek with astonishment, in which Turek allegedly stubbed out a cigar on a fresh wind turbine. Šarapatka expressed pride in TOP 09. He claimed that the results challenged the opinions suggesting the party is insignificant and should merge with another. He reminded of the senatorial victories of party colleagues Třetina and Grulich, as well as the strengthening of the party in municipal and city councils. In Prague, according to him, despite an initial agreement, people around Marek Benda posed obstacles. He described TOP 09 as a party connected to the legacy of Karel Schwarzenberg, which he believes was not formed merely on slogans but has its own ideas. He therefore rejected the merger of the party. He praised the chairman Matěj Ondřej Havel for his energy, education, rhetorical skills, and frequent media appearances, although he stated that Havel does not appear convincing in streams. He urged the election winners to defend democracy. #volby #demokracie #politika (translated)

Radko Sáblík thanked the voters for their votes in the Senate elections and stated that he respected their decision to prefer his opponent. He congratulated Václav Láska on his victory and wished him success in the Senate; he also appreciated the decency of his campaign. He thanked the student team that prepared and organized his campaign, as well as its contributors, especially the ODS. At the same time, he apologized for not being able to convert the funds raised into a Senate mandate. Sáblík stated that the unsuccessful candidacy marked the end of an important chapter in his life. For the next two years, he wants to focus on handing over the Smíchov High School to his successor and concentrate entirely on the school, rather than continue striving for changes in Czech education. He did not perceive the defeat as fatal and wanted to redirect his attention elsewhere. #volby #politika #senát (translated)
