Michal Sirový stated that, according to his calculation, a total of seven voters left the Pirates in Prague because of Mamdani. He questioned whether such a statement was meant seriously and wrote that voters often do not know the candidates or the general positions of the parties. He added that most people, in his opinion, do not know who Mamdani is, what he does or says, or how Czech parties express themselves about him. #politika #vnějšípolitika #volby (translated)

"When I start with general outputs, then I consider the main losers of the elections, regardless of whether they are senatorial or municipal elections, to be the smaller government parties, namely the SPD and the Motorists," says political scientist Ladislav Cabada in an interview for Aktuálně.cz. #volby #politika #Česko (translated)

The last scout wrote that it used to be difficult to follow the thought processes of Andrej Babiš. In the elections, he stated that the "post-1989 cartel" and some media tried to present them as a referendum on the government, but in his opinion, they were not a referendum. He reminded that four years ago they themselves claimed that the elections should be a referendum on the government, and he explained the difference by saying that Fiala's government, in his opinion, did not work. https://t.co/UG7HPkQWMZ #politika #volby #AndrejBabiš (translated)

Pavel Jechort wrote that the amounts by which, according to him, Andrej Babiš deprives public finances annually might rather reach tens than billions. According to him, the deficit of 400 billion explained why there is no money left for anything, and he accused Babiš of indebting the state at the expense of future generations so that he could steal. Jechort also praised the attached photograph again. https://t.co/erxhou61NN #politika #ekonomie #korupce (translated)

I tell motorists to start discussing it in the Chamber as soon as possible and to achieve the adoption of the law and the exemption of the public from fees as soon as possible,“ said Šťastný, adding that the change could occur as early as next year. “I assume that public service media perceive that the law is on the table. They should prepare for it, set up financing, and take it into account,” said Šťastný. #KoncesionářskéPoplatky #MédiaVeřejnéSlužby #Legislativa (translated)

Those being removed are already the ones selected for positions by Xi," warns Jan Švec, an expert on Chinese politics from the Institute of International Relations, in an interview with Seznam Zprávy. "We can see differences in that those who were closer to Xi may have lower penalties, for example, they are just removed from their position. But loyalty alone is not enough for political survival," says Švec. After the era of Mao Zedong, a model of generational change was established, where the highest leadership changed every two congresses, or after ten years. It also became customary for cadres to be gradually promoted up the ladder to higher positions, "After the era of Mao Zedong, a model of generational change was established, where the highest leadership changed every two congresses, or after ten years. It also became customary for cadres to be gradually promoted up the ladder to higher positions," explains Švec. With the rise of Xi Jinping to power, it was expected that the sixth generation of leaders, politicians born in the 1960s, could take over leadership after him. Many of them reached high positions, but Xi Jinping has maintained leadership longer than initially expected. According to Švec, it can essentially be said that there is a "lost sixth generation": "With the rise of Xi Jinping to power, it was expected that the sixth generation of leaders, politicians born in the 1960s, could take over leadership after him. Many of them reached high positions, but Xi Jinping has maintained leadership longer than initially expected." #Čína #politickéčistky (translated)

Andrej Fiskovec wrote that Yandex services were designed to function even during the outage of one data center, but Ukrainian drones hit three centers over four days, according to him. He stated that today, as a result, taxi services, payments, and websites of foreign companies stopped operating, including outside of Russia. In a new article, he discussed why the outage occurred only after the third strike, the reaction of Volodymyr Zelensky, and what he believes Putin's decree regarding unprotected businesses will determine. He added that the article was not behind a paywall. https://t.co/wHlKnjBoxI #Yandex #Ukrajina #drony (translated)

A second-category wizard published an anecdote about a shepherd in Šumava who was visited by a young man in a Tesla. Using a drone, satellite image, and analytical software, he calculated that there were exactly 482 animals in the herd, and as a reward, he took one of them away. The shepherd then labeled the young man as a member of the ruling coalition. He explained that the young man had arrived uninvited, demanded a reward for answering a question that nobody had asked him, and used expensive technology to show off his cleverness, even though he knew nothing about the shepherd's life. He added that it was not a herd of sheep, but goats, and asked the young man to return his dog. #technologie #humor #život (translated)

Paula stated that the press conference took place before everyone from Brno agreed on cooperation without the ANO movement. She added that, apart from the conclusion, she did not consider what Alena Schillerová said important, but she was amused by the comments in the chat under the live broadcast. She also conveyed to Schillerová that it was deserved, as her arrogance was excessive. #fuckano #Brno #spolupráce #humor (translated)

It's brutal. By one vote... Then one can wonder where they made a mistake and what they could have done better. I traveled to five towns, 26 villages, I organized a concert. I gave the campaign a lot of time, energy, and money," says Radek Černý from ODS, who received 11,372 votes in Žďár. #senátnívolby #vysledky #hlasovani (translated)

Angelika Bazalová wrote that Igor Chaun demonstrated a filmmaker's sensitivity to the moment during his meeting with fifteen-year-old students. She described their conversation as a testament to the times and was particularly amused by the moments when the girls were unsure how to spell his surname. She reminded the students that Chaun was among the student leaders of 1989 and stated that he had directed approximately 60 documentary and feature films, written a number of screenplays, including the screenplay for the 1992 film Requiem for a Doll, and directed Czech Soda. Bazalová also criticized that someone explained to Chaun why, in his opinion, a "spy in a jet" was acceptable. She compared it to the behavior of communist officials before the Velvet Revolution, who, according to her, preached equality but considered themselves superior. She wrote that the particular spy behaved similarly and referred to himself as "the first among equals." She recalled the concerns at the time that the country would return to the past after thirty years and expressed her pity for Chaun. Finally, she noted that the girl in the background was visibly fidgeting during her classmate's speech, which, according to her, might have meant that she was having a hard time with the situation. She added that Veronika might still change her mind as she gains more sense. #dokumentárnífilm #sametovárevoluce #historie (translated)

Oliver Adámek described the results of STAN in Prague as a triumph and wrote that the party strengthened in almost all city districts. He attributed this to the work of Petr Hlaváček and his team, as well as to the outcomes of promoting major projects. He considered STAN, Prague itself, and the Pirates to be the programmatically most suitable coalition at the magistrate. According to him, the disrupted relationships between Hlaváček and Adam Scheinherr from the campaign hindered it, and part of the leadership of Prague's STAN preferred cooperation with ODS. Adámek also pointed out the differences between STAN and SPOLU in transportation and housing: Hlaváček advocated for urban housing construction, parking restrictions, prioritization of public transport, and tolls in the city center, while the leader of SPOLU criticized the Prague development company and rejected the idea of the city building apartments. He concluded that without concessions from one of the parties, major agreements might not succeed again. He also described a coalition of STAN and SPOLU, extended by Prague itself or the Pirates, as possible but unlikely. He stated that the larger parties would have to give up seats they did not need, leading to an even more disparate grouping. He deemed SPOLU's result as decent, but also noted that the coalition weakened in most city districts and could lose mayors. According to him, the Pirates were losing everywhere, while Prague itself attracted liberal voters; he cited city districts Prague 1, 8, 6, and 10 as examples. #Praha #obecnívolby #politika (translated)

At the very beginning of the negotiations about the Plzeň district, I told Martin Kupka that they would not support Mr. Aschenbrenner, there is no interest in that here. But we originally assumed that we would not express support for anyone," described Vít Rakušan, the chairman of the Mayors, why such a "brotherly" battle even took place. #Volby2026 #Kozolupy #MichaelaŘehková (translated)

Paula appreciated the confident and straightforward demeanor of the politicians and stated that this was exactly what she expected from them. She thanked Jan Grolich again, whom she credited with energizing the entire opposition, and wrote that Karel Havlíček could not have had "sour grapes."

David Rangl published a text that he described as a transcript of Andrej Babiš's response to a question regarding the ANO party's results in Prague. In it, Babiš was attributed with the claim that the movement did not lose, only received fewer votes, and that the result was bad. The text further connected the European Union with a green lemon, the electoral failure of Motorists with parking, and Tomio Okamura with not exceeding the five percent threshold. Babiš was also attributed remarks about the Pirates and Somalia, colonoscopies, and penguins that do not fly. According to the text, Karel Havlíček was supposed to prepare an eighteen-page analysis of penguin walking. #volby #politika #ANO (translated)
