Zdeněk Šarapatka thanked his supporters and stated that their support helped him get back on his feet after the results of the Senate elections. According to him, the campaign in Prague 5 and 13 was not a fair competition about topics, but a contest over billboards. He claimed that one of the candidates was running a concurrent campaign for the Senate and the Prague City Hall, transferring funds between them, including money from a company building houses. According to Šarapatka, the state supervision office did not respond to the violations of the rules. The candidate, he claimed, received 14,606 votes out of a total of 45,782. Šarapatka also criticized the ODS, which, according to him, despite an agreement with his TOP 09, fielded its own candidate, thereby reducing the chances of defeating Václav Láska. He stated that their candidate hardly presented political positions during public appearances and instead relied on a romanticized story about the students' relationship with the school principal. He added that the students of the candidate's school, according to Šarapatka, got involved in the campaign, even though the principal was balancing on the edge of the education law. The candidate received 12,162 votes out of 45,782. As an earlier example of the split with ODS, Šarapatka mentioned its member Benda, who, according to him, appointed Matocha and Xaver Veselý to the Czech Television Council. He claimed that part of ODS contributed to his failure in the election despite the party agreements at that time. He also recalled that six years ago, at ODS's request, he supported its candidate in the second round of the Senate elections in Mělník, whom he claimed he had not seen publicly appear in the Senate since then. Šarapatka stated that he would not make the same mistake again. According to him, the result meant that there would be no amendment to the lustration law nor security clearances for government members and their deputies, and that there would be no qualified fight for a free Czech Radio and Czech Television. At the same time, he urged his supporters to keep going. #politika #volby #Senát (translated)

Radek Bartoníček stated that he concluded the report at the club in Prague's Smíchov before midnight, where students celebrated the advancement of their high school principal Radek Sáblík to the second round of the Senate elections. According to him, the students actively engaged in the contact campaign during their free time and were set to continue it from Sunday morning. In the Prague 5 district, Václav Láska was the first to advance to the second round, to whom Bartoníček also wanted to dedicate time during the week. He wrote that both candidates agreed at the beginning of the campaign not to attack each other, and in his opinion, they adhered to that agreement. Bartoníček added that he has been following the school for several years and that the students appreciate Sáblík, among other reasons, because they can implement a number of their own projects at the school. Sáblík ran with the support of ODS, KDU-ČSL, and STAN. #volby #Praha #středníškola (translated)

In the school grounds, he stated that he intended to do something dangerous and planned to hurt someone.

Paula described Andrej Babiš's press conference as an extraordinarily extensive rant. She wrote that he initially blamed the media for things he himself did, and then threatened the future leadership of PragueEU with a demand for cooperation. The reason he cited, according to her, was that the government approves funding for hospitals and schools. She stated that she published the entire press conference and moved its final minute to the beginning to quickly clarify why. Babiš, according to her, acted as if he were the first patient in the Czech Republic with the plague, and she ironically added that he finally understood how private schools operate. She also wrote that he directed the most attacks towards Kateřina Stojan, the Pirate Party, and the Czech Senate. In conclusion, she used a derogatory pun about his political grouping remaining in the Czech Republic permanently. #staydebil #babišjezlo #Česko #politika #ještědáme (translated)

The last scout™ wrote that in his opinion not all political non-profit organizations are the same and some are useful for the government coalition. He claimed that high school students from Trivis, involved in the activities of the non-profit organization Chance for Return, which he labeled as strongly connected with the association Svatopluk, distributed flyers for the ANO movement on Wednesday morning during lessons at I. P. Pavlov Square in Prague. Elsewhere, according to him, they distributed flyers for Motorists. https://t.co/VZidSBkYZ4 #politika #neziskovky #mládež (translated)

Senator Václav Láska, who is running simultaneously for senator and mayor of Prague, faces criticism for circumventing electoral rules and for creating a negative impression by refusing to negotiate with the Pirates while partly using students from the school he runs for his campaign, which raises ethical questions. #Praha #komunálnívolby #politika (translated)

"Some secondary schools in Paris are quite well-equipped and don't have much to complain about. But other schools in the suburbs, and even right in Paris, are completely dilapidated and absolutely unsuitable for students," describes fifteen-year-old Natacha the reason for her presence at the blockade to Seznam Zprávy. #studentsképrotesty #francouzskáskola #generaceZ (translated)

Current student protests in France, according to Professor Jan Rovný from Sciences Po, reflect a deeper political and economic crisis affecting both impoverished suburbs and elite schools, with protesters uniting in solidarity with the ideals of equality from revolutionary times, while the government reiterates the narrative about far-left groups. #Francie #studentsképrotesty #politickákryze (translated)

Zdeněk Šarapatka wrote that every day he wore a motif on his chest reminiscent of Karel Schwarzenberg and remembered him. He stated that Schwarzenberg, together with the best domestic rhetorician and expert in public operations, created TOP 09. According to Šarapatka, his legacy irritated people whom he referred to as supporters of Moscow and willing to sell the Czech Republic to Russia. He believed that the current times required a sharper political clash; he claimed that Schwarzenberg could dismiss a traitor of the nation with just a few words. Šarapatka explained that he ran for the Senate in Prague and called on voters to give him their votes under numbers 5 and 13. He insisted that he led a decent and honest campaign, did not have money for hundreds of billboards, and was assisted by volunteers. He accused an unspecified opponent of hypocrisy, stating that he received over a million crowns for the campaign from a person who, despite protests, built a concrete structure outside the residents' windows. Šarapatka also claimed that the opponent was using campaign assistance from students of a public school. He added that he did not want to be both a mayor and a senator nor to hold a senatorial position in a quarter-time capacity while managing three educational institutions. He offered voters courage, education, and life experiences, urging them to participate in the elections on Friday and Saturday. #volby #politika #Českárepublika (translated)
