Peťulína Markvartová described the election results as a "slap in the face" at the most opportune moment, as she believed the most important elections were three years away. She called for a return to the program and for a decisive approach towards the opposition, which she claimed they had 108 votes for. She demanded the immediate proposal to abolish fees for Czech Television and Czech Radio, as well as the FARA law, and called for firm voting without unnecessary debates. She also criticized previous concessions in the election of members of the Czech Television Council, which she believed were related to the false recording of Wolffner. She warned that if the government continued to hesitate and try to appear decent, it would disappoint its voters, and in three years, the government would be run by the Austrian party. She labeled the SPD and Motorists as written off. #volby #politika #opozice (translated)

Joan Larroumec presented the tensions between France and Germany as a result of increasing competition, particularly in the defense industry. He indicated that Berlin planned military spending of €108 billion in 2026, compared to €57 billion for Paris, and nearly €140 billion in 2027. According to him, Germany was seeking to use these expenditures as a lever for economic transformation, while its historical industrial model was weakened. Larroumec notably cited the decline in German exports to China, which he claimed fell from €106 billion in 2022 to €81 billion in 2025, as well as a reduction of 142,400 jobs in the German automotive industry since 2019. He also wrote that German defense start-ups had received $3.5 billion in investments in 2026, compared to $375 million in France, and that Berlin had concluded a framework agreement with Helsing and Stark that could reach €4.3 billion. He estimated that this strategy heightened rivalries between the two countries and jeopardized their joint programs. He reported that Paris and Berlin acknowledged on June 8 that the SCAF could not be successfully executed, and that the Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces announced Germany's abandonment of the MGCS tank program. He also mentioned competition in drones, artificial intelligence, and space, where, according to him, Germany was seeking to reduce France's position. Finally, Larroumec argued that France's financial difficulties limited its ability to invest in defense and risked weakening its industry. He stated that French and German interests were becoming increasingly misaligned and that this situation could lead to chaotic episodes in Europe. #France #Allemagne #Défense (translated)

Jaf used an insulting term towards the Spanish and presented Morocco as their “father,” claiming that Spain had suffered humiliations at the hands of Morocco over the last millennium and would always remain in a subordinate position. To support this claim, he cited the humiliation of Sagrajas in 1086, then the Ifni War in 1957, during which, according to him, Spain had sought the help of France. He also listed the battle of Consuegra — 1097, the battle of Uclés — 1108, the battle of Alarcos — 1195, the battles of Écija and Martos — 1275, the naval battle of Algeciras — 1278, the siege of Algeciras — 1278–1279, and the battle of Gibraltar — 1333. Jaf also mentioned the battle of the Three Kings (Oued al-Makhazin) — 1578, claiming that the Spaniards were then allied with the Portuguese in a crusade against Morocco sanctioned by the Pope. He continued with the battle of Barranco del Lobo — 1909, then several events from 1921: the fight of Abarrán, the siege of Igueriben, the battle of Anoual, the fight of Sidi Dris, the fall of Nador, the fall of Selouane, the fall of Zeluán, the surrender of Dar Quebdani, and the fall of Monte Arruit. Finally, he cited the fights of Tizi Azza — 1923, the Spanish retreat from Chefchaouen — 1924, and the Ifni War — 1957–1958. #Histoire #Maroc #Espagne (translated)

Wesley Curty updated the numbers of the matchup between Vasco and Botafogo: 378 games, with 163 victories for Vasco, 108 draws, and 107 victories for Botafogo. He stated that the difference was the largest among classics involving clubs from the G-12 of Brazilian football. Curty also mentioned Nilton Santos, who would have said that Botafogo could not beat Vasco even when they had a great team, and Montenegro, who described Botafogo as the biggest customer in Vasco's history. #Futebol #Vasco #Botafogo (translated)

Cassiopeia referred to the statements made by Anna Bikont, who — as she quoted — claimed that before the war there was not such murderous anti-Semitism as after it, when at least 1,080 Jews died and three pogroms occurred: in Rzeszów, Kraków, and Kielce. She addressed Dominika Wielowieyska asking her to inquire with her colleague from "Gazeta Wyborcza" about the roles of the individuals she mentioned in the structures of the MBP, UB, the Main Military Information Office, and KBW. Among them, she pointed out Stefan Kuhl, Józef Goldberg (Różański), Anatol Fejgin, Izydor Kurc (Czaplicki), Maks Lifsches (Lityński), Józef Feldman, Mojżesz Bobrowicki (Mietkowski), Dawid Szwarc (Hübner), Adam Umer (Humera), Izaak Fleischfarb (Światło), Leon Ajzef (Andrzejewski), Jan Wołkow, Julia Brystiger, Eliasz Koton, Józef Jungman (Jurkowski), Feliks Rosenbaum, and Bolesław Heller (Halewski). Cassiopeia also asked why — as she wrote — thousands of Polish patriots died in prisons and camps, whose commanders or chiefs were supposed to be Salomon Morel, Kopel Klejman, Saul Wajntraub, Oskar Rozenberg, Sewer Rosen, Mosiek Flaum, Beniamin Glatter, Efroim Klitenik, and Henryk Markowicz. She separately described the punitive-investigative prison No. III in Warsaw, referred to as "Toledo." She claimed that about 1,000 people died there a martyr's death, and to this day, 30 of them have been found. According to her account, Kopel Klejman, whom she also referred to as Kazimierz Szymonowicz, son of Joel and Rachel, managed the prison, tortured, and murdered the inmates. Cassiopeia wrote that he built a bunker there where he hung victims on hooks, and his favorite methods of killing were shooting in the nape of the neck and hanging convicts from trees. She added that children were also tortured there. According to her cited account, when a 13-year-old boy asked for a priest before his death, Klejman responded with a vulgar insult, said he would be the priest himself, and ordered him to be shot. Cassiopeia also claimed that the bodies of victims were mixed with garbage and buried in lime pits, and that insurgents from WiN attempted several times to kill Klejman; he was said to have been wounded in one of the attacks. According to her entry, the MBP then transferred him to Rawicz, and later to Goleniów. She wrote that in the 1960s he worked at NBP, and later at the Institute of Nuclear Research of the Polish Academy of Sciences. She added that it is unknown what happened to him: some said it was suicide, others claimed it was poisoning, and still others said they saw him in the 1980s. Finally, Cassiopeia wrote that she learned that the most important politicians in Poland do not support "the lady from history" nor share her lessons because they are afraid for their mortgages. She asked her followers if they were also afraid. #historia #Polska #antysemityzm (translated)
