According to Jicha, Burnham warned Berlin and Paris that Russia is similarly attempting to influence their countries.

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)

For a car manufacturer like Škoda, it doesn't make a difference whether it will be 90 or 100 percent. The share of internal combustion engines is so low that it is no longer profitable to manufacture something like the Octavia when you sell 10,000 of them a year. It may be profitable for a brand that makes expensive sports cars, but not for Škoda Auto. Today, the former member of the management board of Škoda Auto, Martin Jahn, who is now the sales director of VW, commented on this clearly in a June interview for Hospodářské noviny: "For a car manufacturer like Škoda, it doesn't make a difference whether it will be 90 or 100 percent. The share of internal combustion engines is so low that it is no longer profitable to manufacture something like the Octavia when you sell 10,000 of them a year.

Zdeněk Šarapatka thanked his supporters and stated that their support helped him get back on his feet after the results of the Senate elections. According to him, the campaign in Prague 5 and 13 was not a fair competition about topics, but a contest over billboards. He claimed that one of the candidates was running a concurrent campaign for the Senate and the Prague City Hall, transferring funds between them, including money from a company building houses. According to Šarapatka, the state supervision office did not respond to the violations of the rules. The candidate, he claimed, received 14,606 votes out of a total of 45,782. Šarapatka also criticized the ODS, which, according to him, despite an agreement with his TOP 09, fielded its own candidate, thereby reducing the chances of defeating Václav Láska. He stated that their candidate hardly presented political positions during public appearances and instead relied on a romanticized story about the students' relationship with the school principal. He added that the students of the candidate's school, according to Šarapatka, got involved in the campaign, even though the principal was balancing on the edge of the education law. The candidate received 12,162 votes out of 45,782. As an earlier example of the split with ODS, Šarapatka mentioned its member Benda, who, according to him, appointed Matocha and Xaver Veselý to the Czech Television Council. He claimed that part of ODS contributed to his failure in the election despite the party agreements at that time. He also recalled that six years ago, at ODS's request, he supported its candidate in the second round of the Senate elections in Mělník, whom he claimed he had not seen publicly appear in the Senate since then. Šarapatka stated that he would not make the same mistake again. According to him, the result meant that there would be no amendment to the lustration law nor security clearances for government members and their deputies, and that there would be no qualified fight for a free Czech Radio and Czech Television. At the same time, he urged his supporters to keep going. #politika #volby #Senát (translated)

Marek Stoniš wrote that the debate about the future Prague coalition was only about the pace of the city's "Berlinization." He distinguished between an ultra-left variant made up of STAN, the Pirates, and Prague Together without ODS, and a left coalition of STAN with ODS without the Pirates; the former would mean a faster progress according to him, the latter just a quick one. #Praha #politika #vláda (translated)

Vláďa Foltán stated that Ukraine, according to him, significantly weakened Donald Trump and his chances of maintaining political control for the Republicans.

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)
