"I will impose a 250 percent tariff on your damn wine and all the crap you send us. I will impose a 250 percent tariff on your wine, your champagne, and everything you send us, Emmanuel."

Vid Mlakar described the ratio of three votes in favor and one against in a close match as an exceptionally good result. He wrote that the government received the green light for the dismantling of funding for RTV Slovenia, and that the law on the parliamentary investigation is therefore less important in his opinion. He forecasted that critical information about the left will gradually come to the media and the public, adding that the left has "replaced the farmer with a fortress." #politika #Slovenija #RTVSLO (translated)

Vinko Vasle wrote that the right should think ahead about the left's responses instead of just defending itself. He argued that the left used the experiences of the political police from Kučan's UDBA to the police that Klakočar allegedly introduced into parliamentary practice, and with political-mafia propaganda attacked something that, in his words, is usual in parliamentary democracies. He labeled the right as being too gentlemanly in its clashes with the left and believed that it should respond to attacks with equal force. #politika #desnica #levica (translated)

Petr Honzejk asked Boris Šťastný whether, besides the generally low appeal of motor communism, another reason could also be Šťastný's involvement in the government, which, according to Honzejk, proved that he cannot be trusted at all. #politika #motokomunismus #důvěra (translated)

Vinko Vasle wrote that the law on parliamentary investigation has not been approved, although he claimed it was intended for a political showdown against corruption and crime on the left. He believed that the actions of the police, prosecution, and courts are more important, and called on law enforcement to start honestly investigating at least the cases of Golob and Janković. He argued that this could also lead to actions against others whom he labeled as part of a mafia-corrupted politics at various levels. Vasle highlighted the delay in taking action as a serious challenge and stated that everything is quiet regarding SKOK. He mentioned the arrests in Romania and the investigations into attempts to bribe some MPs of the Resni.ca party as a possible starting point. #korupcija #politika #pravosodje (translated)

Interest on interest wrote that the Center Party had formally closed the door to a government with M, KD, and L and could not accept SD even as a supporting party.

The writer called the stance grotesque. #politik #Sverige #vårdomhärd (translated)

Julian Adrat referred to dm CEO Christoph Werner as a smart head and accused Caren Miosga of interrupting Werner when he praised Gerhard Schröder's reforms.

Adrat quoted him as saying it would be "the first time in history" if the end of history were to occur now. The simple truths put public broadcasters in a sweat, wrote Adrat. #Politik #Deutschland #Reformen (translated)

Svoboda noted that the system, whose mascots were Nikica and Jenull, dealt another significant blow to the JJ coalition.

Jože Možina wrote that RTV somewhat covered up the interview with historian Dr. Željko Oset that evening, in his opinion. He labeled Oset as an excellent historian who, in his words, placed Asta Vrečko and the political police in the right context. He also referenced Oset's books *The Academic World Under Surveillance* and *The Udbas Handbook* and invited readers to watch the interview. #intervju #zgodovina #politika (translated)
