David Rangl published a text that he described as a transcript of Andrej Babiš's response to a question regarding the ANO party's results in Prague. In it, Babiš was attributed with the claim that the movement did not lose, only received fewer votes, and that the result was bad. The text further connected the European Union with a green lemon, the electoral failure of Motorists with parking, and Tomio Okamura with not exceeding the five percent threshold. Babiš was also attributed remarks about the Pirates and Somalia, colonoscopies, and penguins that do not fly. According to the text, Karel Havlíček was supposed to prepare an eighteen-page analysis of penguin walking. #volby #politika #ANO (translated)

Christer Sfeir wrote about his visit to Pézenas in southern France and described the Hôtel de Flottes de Sébasan, a stone house from the 16th century. According to local tradition, Anna of Austria, the queen of France and mother of Louis XIV, had stayed there during a visit, he wrote. Sfeir recounted that Anna was a Spanish princess who married Louis XIII in 1615 when she was 14 years old. After 23 years without children, she gave birth to her son Louis in 1638. When the king died five years later, the then four-year-old son became king and Anna regent. Sfeir wrote that the royal family was forced to flee Paris during the Fronde and that the rebellion later contributed to Louis XIV's decision to centralize power around himself. He also mentioned Molière's stay in Pézenas during the 1650s with his theater company, which received patronage from the Prince of Conti. Sfeir wrote that Molière encountered people and environments there that later became subjects of his satire. According to Sfeir, Louis XIV visited the city in 1660 and took over the reins of power the following year. He concluded by stating that the house still stood, despite the monarchy and its power struggles being part of history. #Pézenas #historia #Molière (translated)
