Oliver Adámek, who according to his own words attended the Prague council for four years, stated that Prague is moving forward, but its development is hindered by the limited powers of local government. He identified the Metropolitan Plan and the continuation of tram line construction as the greatest successes of the past period. He considered the pressure on secondary schools and the Libeň Bridge as the biggest problems. Adámek wrote that elected politicians have only a limited influence on the shape of streets, closures, and construction. He advocated for the abolition of delegated powers, stronger powers for local governments in land-use planning, direct election of the mayor, and reducing the number of city districts by at least half. He noted that these changes would need to be approved by Parliament. He also rejected the claim that nothing is being built in Prague. He recalled the development on three major brownfields, 14 new tram lines in 10 years, metro line D, the Dvorecký Bridge, the railway to the airport, and the construction of the outer ring road. Regarding the inner ring road, he mentioned the complicated amendment to the land-use plan and stated that the Vltava Philharmonic had been waiting for building permits and financing. According to him, however, Prague needed significantly more apartments, both private and municipal. According to Adámek, the traffic jams in Prague are caused by three times as many cars compared to the 1990s, not by current closures or adjustments to tram islands. He believes that the ring roads would not change traffic in the broader center much, as nearly 90% of cars on the main road drove into the center. A vast P+R system, he argued, would require tens of billions of crowns and would not make sense. He considered the railway hub to be more important, as it would speed up commuting from Central Bohemia: while he claimed that 23% of Prague residents used cars daily, the majority of residents from the Central Bohemia region did. He criticized the current mayor for not engaging enough in public debate according to him and for not describing his vision for Prague in 10 to 20 years. He stated that most of the other current leaders had some vision. #Praha #volby #politika (translated)

In the context of the elections in the Czech Republic, several municipalities are holding referendums that decide on the construction of wind power plants, and while last year's results were approximately balanced, this year's voting mostly rejects new projects, with people's preferences being influenced by personal experience with wind power plants and the way the questions are formulated in the referendums. #větrnéelektrárny #referenda #obnovitelnézdroje (translated)

Dr. Coolfonpl, referring to the drone strike from a year ago and the explosion of an object he described as a supposed Ch-101, accused the government of being ready to participate in a false flag operation with a foreign state. He wondered whether the "challenge" of the teenagers was an action by the services and claimed that the individuals wielding knives fit into plans for the quick introduction of internet censorship. He added that draft bills appeared within a few hours, which he described as a "problem-reaction-solution" scheme. #Cenzura #TeoriaSpiskowa #Bezpieczeństwo (translated)

There is no project more contrary to Polish energy interests and our national interest than Nord Stream. The support of Braun and his party for this project disqualifies them and puts them among the supporters of being under Putin's boot. One cannot call themselves a patriot while supporting projects that threaten Poland's vital interests. Shame! Support for the Nord Stream project is contrary to Poland's interest and means support for Putin's Russia - assessed Energy Minister Miłosz Motyka on Wednesday. #NordStream #Polska #GrzegorzBraun (translated)

WarNewsPL cited a statement by Miłosz Motyka, who assessed that Nord Stream was contrary to Polish energy interests and the national interest. He criticized the support of Grzegorz Braun and the Polish Crown for the project, deeming it disqualifying and inconsistent with patriotism because — as he wrote — it threatened Poland's vital interests. He also expressed outrage. #Polska #Energetyka #NordStream (translated)

The author of the entry wrote that the Polish National Foundation, despite earlier announcements about its disappearance, is still operational and plans new projects. According to him, the foundation is in dispute with state-owned companies over hundreds of millions of zlotys: some of them deposit money into it, others sue for lack of payments, and yet others demand refunds of millions from the PFN. #Polska #fundacja #projekty #PL (translated)

The Institute of Truth informed that the Regional Prosecutor's Office in Warsaw has filed an indictment in court against eight individuals regarding irregularities at the National Centre for Research and Development. According to the description, they were accused of, among other things, participating in a criminal organization, fraud to the detriment of NCBiR, issuing false VAT invoices, and money laundering. Investigators established that between 2021 and 2023, companies were created without any actual research and development activities to obtain public funds. The author described SMS correspondence from 2017 between Adam Bielan, his wife Klaudia, and Piotr M., the president of Chime Networks and one of the main accused. The company sought around 123 million PLN for the "Cable" project concerning underwater fiber optic infrastructure. According to the accounts from journalists of the podcast "In Connection with the Investigation," Dominika Długosz and Mariusz Gierszewski, Bielan was supposed to assist in organizing a meeting between Piotr M. and a Qatari delegation, and his wife received a presentation from the company and declared she would pass it on to her husband. Bielan was not charged. The Institute of Truth emphasized that Bielan had denied any close relationship with Piotr M. and involvement in the "Cable" project. He claimed to have met him through Jacek Żalek, and the meeting with the Qataris was of a courtesy nature; later, he was supposed to warn against the project. Żalek, on the other hand, maintained that Bielan and Piotr M. had known each other for years. The author recalled that Żalek was accused, among other things, of exceeding authority and accepting bribes, while the European Prosecutor's Office accused Piotr M. of attempting to defraud funding. The contract for 123 million PLN was ultimately not signed. The author stressed that the correspondence from 2017 does not prove Bielan's involvement in the later grant application, but indicates his contacts with the entrepreneur and assistance in organizing a high-level meeting. He added that Bielan was not included in the indictment. #InstytutPrawdy #NCBiR #oszustwa #przestępczość (translated)
