Hadrien Clouet wrote that 66% of the votes were in favor of closing the Socialist Party. He said he understood the sadness of the socialist activists who, according to him, were fighting with his camp in Toulouse to defend the postal service, schools, and hospitals, but found themselves with a candidate hostile to the minimum wage and social security. #PartiSocialiste #Toulouse #Socialisme (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)

Radek Bartoníček stated that he concluded the report at the club in Prague's Smíchov before midnight, where students celebrated the advancement of their high school principal Radek Sáblík to the second round of the Senate elections. According to him, the students actively engaged in the contact campaign during their free time and were set to continue it from Sunday morning. In the Prague 5 district, Václav Láska was the first to advance to the second round, to whom Bartoníček also wanted to dedicate time during the week. He wrote that both candidates agreed at the beginning of the campaign not to attack each other, and in his opinion, they adhered to that agreement. Bartoníček added that he has been following the school for several years and that the students appreciate Sáblík, among other reasons, because they can implement a number of their own projects at the school. Sáblík ran with the support of ODS, KDU-ČSL, and STAN. #volby #Praha #středníškola (translated)

The author of the essay wrote that he wanted to apologize to Miloš Jakeš, whose speech at Červený Hrádek he previously considered comical. According to him, Andrej Babiš's appearance on ČT24 after the electoral defeat in Prague shifted this genre into a new dimension. He criticized Babiš for moving from threats to self-pity and insults towards political competitors. He also wrote that during the broadcast, Babiš's bitterness, anger, and malice were apparent, which contrasted with the image of a kind person that the author claims he portrayed during visits to nursing homes. While he perceived Jakeš as a tragicomic figure of the past regime, with Babiš, his laughter "somewhat stiffens." #politika #Babiš #Jakeš (translated)

Barbora Mercury wrote that Jiří Petráš re-entered his former house, which he lost in foreclosure according to her. She claimed that the men who were clearing the property beat him after he asked what was going on.

He described the EU as ridiculous, albeit sadly, rather than the American president. https://t.co/FSFy7SHzCd #Europarlament #USA #EU (translated)

Zdeněk Šarapatka wrote that every day he wore a motif on his chest reminiscent of Karel Schwarzenberg and remembered him. He stated that Schwarzenberg, together with the best domestic rhetorician and expert in public operations, created TOP 09. According to Šarapatka, his legacy irritated people whom he referred to as supporters of Moscow and willing to sell the Czech Republic to Russia. He believed that the current times required a sharper political clash; he claimed that Schwarzenberg could dismiss a traitor of the nation with just a few words. Šarapatka explained that he ran for the Senate in Prague and called on voters to give him their votes under numbers 5 and 13. He insisted that he led a decent and honest campaign, did not have money for hundreds of billboards, and was assisted by volunteers. He accused an unspecified opponent of hypocrisy, stating that he received over a million crowns for the campaign from a person who, despite protests, built a concrete structure outside the residents' windows. Šarapatka also claimed that the opponent was using campaign assistance from students of a public school. He added that he did not want to be both a mayor and a senator nor to hold a senatorial position in a quarter-time capacity while managing three educational institutions. He offered voters courage, education, and life experiences, urging them to participate in the elections on Friday and Saturday. #volby #politika #Českárepublika (translated)

Malin Ekman wrote that men, according to her, had begun to adopt less flattering traits traditionally associated with women, especially men in public life. She argued that they moralized to maintain their place in social communities and pointed to Alex Schulman as an example. After Dagens Nyheter recruited him, he had, according to Ekman, repeated left-liberal positions already put forward by colleagues and expressed indignation over issues that fit within that environment. Most recently, he had reacted with disgust to support for Stefan Holm, who, according to Ekman, had attacked Schulman's friend in a bar after the friend had jokingly mentioned on TV eight years earlier about killing Holm and his son. Ekman described the mockery of Holm as typical of a community where people constantly judged who was accepted and who it was safe to mock. She argued that those who supported Holm did not necessarily defend his long-standing grievances or propensity for violence, but rather his right to stand up for himself and his family even when it went against prevailing notions of right and wrong. According to Ekman, they instead despised men like Schulman, whom she described as adaptable and prone to decide who could be ostracized. #mansfrågor #feminism #könsroller (translated)
