The Last Scout™ wrote that before the elections, the promise of cheaper mortgages appeared on billboards. He quoted Tomáš Kadeřábek from Swiss Life Select, according to whom offered rates have increased by nearly one percentage point since March. Government officials, according to the author, attributed the development to banks, the Czech National Bank, or the situation in the world, while Tomio Okamura claimed that the government could not influence mortgages. None of this, according to The Last Scout™, appeared on the billboards. https://t.co/KFPOD7q7FN #hypotéky #volby #realita (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)

Martin Bartkovský turned to Alena Schillerová, Andrej Babiš, and the Czech National Bank with the question of why they dragged banks into the debate. He wrote that a year ago, in his opinion, almost all billboards in the Czech Republic promised that Schillerová, Karel Havlíček, and Babiš would lower prices. He added that they should lower prices since, in his opinion, the majority elected them. #banky #Česko #zlevnění (translated)

The author of the article stated that the ANO movement was preparing a plan that could deprive Prague, Brno, Ostrava, and Plzeň of tens of billions of crowns annually.

The vote of no confidence in the government showed a very important thing. Government MPs said they don't mind when lies are told to people. They don't mind that they are violating their own government program statement. They don't mind that they have forgotten their big promises from billboards and election leaflets within a few months and are doing https://t.co/1YUfG1VfRC #politika #vláda #důvěra #CZ (translated)

You may have heard of Klára Sovová in the past as the owner of Labská and Luční Boudy in the Krkonošsko region. An owner who sometimes completely disregards the fact that she bought properties right in a national park and isn’t exactly happy when someone interferes with how many cars are allowed to pass through the park or how carefully she should carry out construction work. However, you can also know her from the electoral billboards of the Motorists, where she announces her candidacy for the mayor of Prague next to Macinka, claiming that she has the courage to go against the grain. The story of Klára Sovová would be worth making a movie about how that twilight zone between privatization, business, offshores, and politics has worked in the Czech Republic since the revolution. Sovová was a part of all these areas in one person. But she is a person with enormous energy, so she managed to publish a porn magazine, occasionally throw some millions to a political party, and at the same time claim that entrepreneurs do not engage in altruistic activities. Kristina and I have been working on this story for the past few weeks and discussed it with many people who have known Sovová since her time at the National Property Fund. Interestingly, the vast majority of those approached did not want to speak. The best description of her and her surroundings is the sentence she replied with when asked how she came to the building of the Prague police headquarters, from which she received over 100 million crowns in rent from the police: "That is our secret, it’s not for the newspapers. I protect my know-how with that." However, I think we have managed to get at least a little glimpse into that know-how in the last few weeks, and now you can read about it. You'll find it in the next post.👇 #politika #privatizace #Česko (translated)
