Marek Stoniš wrote that the debate about the future Prague coalition was only about the pace of the city's "Berlinization." He distinguished between an ultra-left variant made up of STAN, the Pirates, and Prague Together without ODS, and a left coalition of STAN with ODS without the Pirates; the former would mean a faster progress according to him, the latter just a quick one. #Praha #politika #vláda (translated)

David Rangl, in an ironically toned post, claimed that the intervention of Russian data centers caused chaos in the Czech pro-Russian scene. According to him, disinformation websites and trolls stopped receiving instructions, so some people had to form their own opinions. Rangl described that the SPD convened a crisis staff, which, according to him, after several hours came up with several contradictory explanations: either the attack did not occur, Russia repelled it, or it could have been Brussels, NATO, migrants, and Petr Fiala to blame. He also mentioned a demand for the government's resignation without a clearly stated reason. According to him, on the alternative scene, one influencer condemned Russian aggression, another published photos of burning servers as evidence of Russian victory, and another began promoting Russia's accession to NATO. Jindřich Rajchl, according to Rangl, demanded a parliamentary investigative committee due to the decline in followers. The post further described the extinguished premises of the Stačilo! movement, non-functional stamp machines at the Václav Klaus Institute, and the vaccination of the Svatopluk association against rabies at a veterinary station. The situation was eventually calmed by a chain email that blamed events on Soros, Ukrainian pensioners, and a secret NATO lab in Uzhhorod. Rangl concluded that Russian servers were gradually returning to operation, while the damages to the Czech "patriotic scene" could be irreversible, as some people realized during the outage that they could think independently. #ČeskáRepublika #dezinformace #vlastenectví (translated)

A reduction of 8 percent would mean a weakening of our ability to act, precisely at a time when Europe is being asked to do more in terms of competitiveness, defense, and security. As a result, Europe would be less able to protect its citizens and economically compete with the major world economies. This would mean inadequate funding for agriculture and a reduction in support for our regions," the rapporteurs for the budget and joint resources Siegfried Mureșan (EPP), Carla Tavares, Danuše Nerudová (EPP), and Sandra Gómez López (S&D) assessed in a joint statement. #EuProračun #VarčneDržave #Pogajanja (translated)
