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)

Jarosław Królewski wrote that in the Liga+ Extra program it was confirmed that the first goal for LW should not have been recognized for two reasons, and Wisła Kraków was entitled to a penalty kick.

Jarosław Królewski criticized the refereeing decisions after the match in Warsaw. He wrote that the goal came after a throw-in, which he believed should not have been awarded to LW, and was subsequently taken incorrectly. He also accused the referees of not awarding a clear penalty on Juliusz when Wisła Kraków tried to quickly make up for the deficit. Królewski informed that during the match, a glass bottle was thrown onto the pitch towards the players of his team. He assessed that in such a situation, the match should have been stopped to sort out the situation. He also criticized the television commentary for the lack of replays and discussion of controversial events. He wrote that the trip to Warsaw brought almost everything they expected, but he also admitted that his team did not perform that day as they could. He added that in soccer, the outcome is determined by details that can either energize a team or drain them. He thanked the fans present in Warsaw and those who welcomed the team. #piłkanożna #mecz #wsparciekibiców (translated)

"Ukraine supports a ceasefire, and it is important that Russia supports it as well." "We are waiting for details from the American side.

To be honest, I actually don't know if it was a happy choice. Nationwide politics and parliament have, I’m not afraid to say, minimal influence on the municipal level. You need to have people on the ground there. When I look at the Christian Democrats, even though they are weak in parliament or at the national level, with about 2.5 percent, they are huge in the municipalities," commented the Minister of Culture Oto Klempíř on this strategy. "For us, it is important to build an organization on the ground, to ensure its functioning and connectivity. This is an important goal because municipal elections have often been considered second-tier elections. However, I believe that this has changed and that municipalities are setting a very, very, very prestigious bar with their importance," Klempíř added. #volby #Praha #Motoristé (translated)
