According to him, after the next parliamentary elections, the position of Prime Minister could be shared by Grolich, Vít Rakušan, Zdeněk Hřib, or Martin Kupka. He described the current government as oligarchic and vengeful and criticized its stance on Russia's crimes and its failure to extradite for criminal prosecution.

Jiří Hrebenar stated that Martin Král won one of the seven mandates in the municipal council in Černouček, receiving 104 candidate votes. According to him, he did not run for Motorists for themselves, but as an independent candidate on the local candidate list of the Association of Independent Candidates ČERNOUČEK 2026. Hrebenar reminded that Král is a member of Motorists for themselves, and the leadership of the party, led by Petr Macinka, Boris Šťastný, and Oto Klempíř, presented his election as a political success. However, according to Hrebenar, Motorists gained their member in the council, not a victory for their party candidate list. In response to Klempíř's remark that the residents of Černouček elected a king after the president, Hrebenar wrote that Petr Pavel still has permanent residence in the village, and his presidential mandate continues. According to him, the newly established council will decide on the mayor. The Association of Independent Candidates ČERNOUČEK 2026 gained four out of seven mandates, while the Černouček for themselves grouping got the remaining three. Hrebenar added that no coronation has taken place in the village yet. #Černouček #volby #politika (translated)

There is a double symbolism in this – the occupier Konev and still in Dukla, a place exploited by communist propaganda and where one of the most flawed battles with the greatest losses on the Eastern Front took place. Therefore, Pilip wonders how the idea of erecting a statue of such a dubious personality as Konev could even arise. #Fico #Putin #Konev (translated)

Michal Sirový congratulated Michal Škop and Datajournalist on their nearly live predictions for all senatorial districts and the largest cities. He stated that successful predictions can be made after counting just a few percent of votes or precincts. He criticized the media for continuing to debate the results, arguing that not enough votes have been counted, even though he believes that sufficient data is usually available during elections to estimate the final outcome. He added that the media, both commercial and public, should preferably publish timely predictions with a small margin of error rather than spend hours commenting on data corresponding to votes for parliamentary parties. #predikce #volby #žurnalistika (translated)
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)
