Lower Austria is increasingly becoming a state for solar energy in addition to wind energy; this hybrid park is a model for other projects in the region. This way, we can further strengthen the security of supply in our country with domestic electricity.

Eva Selsing wrote that her criticism of modern art in B.T. could also be directed at Jens Galschiøt's Trump sculpture, which she described as vulgar kitsch. She believed that much modern art was poorly conceived and executed political contributions that conveyed propaganda for an oikophobic establishment rather than uplift or give spirit to the human condition. Selsing stated that she was not surprised that the Danish Arts Foundation supported that type of projects. She pointed out that artists, works, funds, and museums, in her view, were influenced by left-leaning individuals, and that the result was often works characterized by ugliness, death, something unpleasant, and meaninglessness. She emphasized that her criticism was not about art being provocative, but that provocation had been highlighted for decades as the only or most important task of art. She asked why art should not also show beauty, and called provocation that followed the demands of the time ideological commission work. Selsing rejected that she had the sole right to define art but believed that works that could be reduced to poorly conceived political contributions were not good art—if they were even art at all. She referred to most modern art as societal-degrading kitsch. #ModerneKunst #Kitsch #KunstDebat (translated)
Jakub Balcerzak summarized the last Saturday before the start of the 2026/2027 league season. He assessed that the slogan "Beat the champion" will motivate the rivals of Michał Winiarski's team, and each of them will approach the matches with full commitment. He cited the match between Trefl and Sordyl as an example and wondered how many weaker teams would manage to play in a similar way. According to Balcerzak, Lublin was in better shape at this stage of preparations than a year earlier. He praised the creativity of Ran and Ogawa as well as the play of the latter, and positively evaluated the start of preparations for Mikołaj Sawicki, whom he considered well physically prepared. The author was pleased with Roberto Piazza's presence in the Polish club, but noted that there is a lot of work ahead for PGE Project Warszawa, as the Italian coach had only started working with the team a few days earlier. He assessed that Romano could help Warsaw achieve a major trophy this season. After the match against Lublana, he pointed out that the average age of Project's players on the court was almost 33 years. He also wrote that Śliwka's injury means at least a month off, and noted that the captain of the Polish national team has played only 31 percent of league matches in almost three years. Balcerzak called Tymoteusz Lenik one of the best Polish middle blockers from the 2005 age group and younger. He believed that Gheorghe Crețu is guiding the player well and predicted that Lenik would make it to the senior national team next season. He pointed to 22-year-old Mateusz Nowak as a possible successor to Bartłomiej Lemański in Bełchatów and as the best player of Skra during the preparation period. He described Szymon Jakubiszak as one of the leading Polish middle blockers and wrote that he should join a club competing for the Polish championship. Regarding the Italian league, Balcerzak praised Basil Dermaux's performance in Milan, where he scored 27 points, including seven aces. He indicated Hryhoriia Khotsevycha as a potential discovery of the new season of LegaVolley, and described Pardo Matia as an increasingly important player in Modena's offense. He added that his collaboration with Tizi-Oualou was going very well. Assessing the teams from Japan, Balcerzak stated that there is a lot of work ahead for Suntory Sunbirds Osaka and that the team no longer commands the same respect as in previous years. He positively evaluated the new Nagoya and the performance of Norbert Huber, while considering Osaka Bluteon the best team currently in the country, with a significant advantage over rivals.

Mika Merano wrote that it was not about class but corruption. He claimed that Members of Parliament, other significant and former politicians, and their close circles received rewards on the boards of associations funded by tax money or directed funds to their own projects. According to Merano, organizational subsidies and, for example, the funds used for Garden Helsinki were taken from elsewhere and were also reflected in the support received by poor families living on subsidies. He accused politicians of pursuing their own and their close circles' interests and expressed his anger towards such activities. #korruptio #politiikka #veronmaksajat (translated)
