Andrej Poglajen wrote that Janez Markeš accused RTV Slovenija in 2005 of taking on the role of a central committee and described its operation as the merging of party strategy, regulated pop culture, and sports with the formation of society and its image abroad. Poglajen claimed that Markeš now praises RTV Slovenija, criticizes the Roman Catholic Church (RKC), although its clergy allegedly brought him basic necessities during times of scarcity, and celebrates things he once publicly rejected. He added that one of the priests was from his hometown of Idrija. He labeled Markeš as a journalist who changes opinions for money and wrote that Markeš referred to him as a "corrupt politician." According to Poglajen, this designation was proof that the younger generations of the Slovenian right are doing something right. He also stated that he would not want the praise of people who, in his opinion, betray their values for personal gain. #slovenskamediji #politika #javnozdravstvo (translated)

SDS added that Slovenia has a lot of work ahead for greater resistance to propaganda in order to reach the level of developed democracies. #demokracija #volitve #propaganda (translated)

Michal Sirový described this year's Pirate campaign as tragic and stated that in his opinion, the party chose the wrong female leader, which was confirmed by almost every one of her appearances. According to him, Zdeněk Hřib had the advantage of strong Pirates in 2018, while in 2022, he benefited from a good performance in the role of mayor, which was appreciated by a significant portion of people, despite the party being weak. According to Sirový, the Pirates are now weak, STAN has overall strengthened in four years and has shifted more towards liberal voters, and Praha sobě has a good and capable leader. Sirový expected that this combination would lead to a poor result for the Pirates the following day. #Piráti #politika #Praha (translated)

Denik P – Paukner Media addressed Filip Turek's apology for his statements about the DUHA Movement in a post. It stated that Turek repeated the wording of the court ruling in the video, but also mentioned which people he believed left the original team at the Ministry of the Environment. The author focused on their professional backgrounds and attitudes towards energy. Regarding Martin Sedlák, an advisor to Petr Hladík, it was written that he previously worked in the DUHA Movement and later led the Union of Modern Energy and the Alliance for a Zero-Emission Future. He attributed to him statements from 2009 and 2011 against the need for nuclear energy and stated that he collaborated with DUHA on delaying the completion of Temelín. Martin Ander, another former DUHA employee and advisor to the minister, was identified as a proponent of a zero-emission economy and strict measures against both coal and nuclear power plants. It was claimed that Ander advocated for the termination of Czech nuclear energy and that similar policies in Germany contributed to the consequences of the energy crisis. The head of the climate protection section at the ministry, Petr Holub, was also linked by the author to the DUHA Movement and opposition to nuclear energy. It was noted that Holub promoted climate education at the ministry and participated in the National Climate and Energy Plan, which, according to the post, set a 30% share of production from renewable sources. It was also claimed that Holub advocated for subsidy support in the law for the creation of renewable energy capacity corresponding to ten times the installed capacity of Dukovany. The author estimated the investment costs from 2023 to 2030 at 100 billion crowns per year and referred to a SEEPIA study. Eva Lejsalová, the director of PR at the ministry, was described by the author as a former director of the political institute of KDU-ČSL, not an environmental expert. Regarding communication director Martin Polívka, it was written that he was Hladík's chief of staff in Brno; according to the author, he did not have the necessary education and called himself a political marketing expert. Petr Holub's advisor, Edvard Sequens, was labeled as an anti-nuclear activist and a member of the Calla association. He attributed to him support for the rapid end of coal energy and industrial contraction and stated that the association opposed new reactors in Dukovany and Temelín even in 2025. According to the author, Sequens considered nuclear energy an outdated technology that could be replaced by renewable sources and lower energy consumption in industries. Regarding Radim Misiaček, the project director of acceleration zones, the author stated that his contract with the ministry included a fee of 7,000 crowns daily for selecting experts, without a specified working time. Among the selected, he mentioned Martin Abel, a candidate from the Greens and a member of the Climate Lawsuit association, and Eva Volfová, a politician from STAN, whom he claimed had gained a stake in a company drawing state contracts. He added that he believed the case was being investigated by the police. In conclusion, the author refused to assess whether they were experts. He reacted to the media's labeling of their departure from the ministry as an "exodus of experts" and "dismantling of the expert team," stating that he wanted to present the people Turek claimed to have "scraped" from the ministry. #HnutíDUHA #energetika #odborníci (translated)

Bojan Požar stated in an interview with Nova24TV that he joined the Institute for the Protection of Victims of the Parliamentary Inquiry 2022-26 as a co-founder because he wanted to more effectively highlight alleged abuses. He mentioned Tamara Vonta, Vesna Vuković, and Tomaž Modic as responsible individuals and said that Robert Golob gave the green light for their actions. He rejected the accusation that the institute is politically or right-leaning. He cited their diversity as evidence that the founders come from different political backgrounds. Požar mentioned that he appeared before the commission as a witness, while the company he leads was being investigated. He claimed that more than 90 percent of the questions during the several-hour hearing did not pertain to the topic of the commission and that he was accused of having published too many articles about Golob as a journalist. According to him, the articles were printed and placed before Vonta. He alleged that Vonta, despite reviewing the bank accounts of him and his company, which the commission allegedly accessed illegally, requested his hearing. Požar described this as a planned attempt at personal, journalistic, and business discreditation. He also mentioned that the institute filed a complaint against Vonta and that he expects sanctions against her and the leadership of the parliamentary inquiry. #žurnalizem #politika #parlament (translated)
