Lukáš Valášek wrote that the state-owned company Čepro has paid Agrofert over 19 billion crowns for contracts without a public tender since 2017. According to him, Čepro began to claim that it did not have to hold public tenders after the law prohibiting companies owned by politicians from obtaining public contracts came into effect. Valášek stated that the company has relied on the opinion of the then vice-chairwoman of the Office for Protection of Competition (ÚOHS), who left the office due to suspicions of manipulating decisions in favor of representatives of the ANO party, Jaroslav Faltýnek and Jiří Švachula. According to him, she signed the opinion before her departure. In preparing it, she was supposed to have used documents from the ministries led by Alena Schillerová and Karel Havlíček, which, according to Valášek, downplayed Čepro's exceptional position, even though it is captured in state strategies. According to Valášek, the government of Petr Fiala did not address the matter, and the ministries, now again under the control of Havlíček and Schillerová, do not want to reopen it based on their statements. Čepro also refused to inform him how many contracts it has already awarded to Agrofert under the new government of Andrej Babiš, despite the ÚOHS ruling that the company is subject to the information law at the request of the Pirate Party's analytical team. Valášek added that even the ÚOHS led by Petr Mlsna, whom Babiš appointed, did not see a reason for a review. According to Valášek, the Prime Minister decided whether the government would extend Mlsna's mandate for additional years. https://t.co/O1ekCFdPwn #Česko #politika #korupce (translated)

The money from those at Brodina to be taken, the money from this one at Rădăuți, together with those people registered in the application. In the case of Brodina and Rădăuți, we will change their data because they all registered in the application in December. And we are organizing elections, but they need to do this. But it is only acted upon in the application! #AUR #investigație #politică (translated)

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)

David Rangl, in an ironically toned post, claimed that the intervention of Russian data centers caused chaos in the Czech pro-Russian scene. According to him, disinformation websites and trolls stopped receiving instructions, so some people had to form their own opinions. Rangl described that the SPD convened a crisis staff, which, according to him, after several hours came up with several contradictory explanations: either the attack did not occur, Russia repelled it, or it could have been Brussels, NATO, migrants, and Petr Fiala to blame. He also mentioned a demand for the government's resignation without a clearly stated reason. According to him, on the alternative scene, one influencer condemned Russian aggression, another published photos of burning servers as evidence of Russian victory, and another began promoting Russia's accession to NATO. Jindřich Rajchl, according to Rangl, demanded a parliamentary investigative committee due to the decline in followers. The post further described the extinguished premises of the Stačilo! movement, non-functional stamp machines at the Václav Klaus Institute, and the vaccination of the Svatopluk association against rabies at a veterinary station. The situation was eventually calmed by a chain email that blamed events on Soros, Ukrainian pensioners, and a secret NATO lab in Uzhhorod. Rangl concluded that Russian servers were gradually returning to operation, while the damages to the Czech "patriotic scene" could be irreversible, as some people realized during the outage that they could think independently. #ČeskáRepublika #dezinformace #vlastenectví (translated)

The boycott of Babiš's products stated that the election results confirmed the warnings of experts, analysts, and political scientists. He claimed that after entering the governing coalition, the preferences of SPD began to decline and that Tomio Okamura's party suffered a significant defeat. According to the author, no SPD candidate advanced to the second round of the senatorial elections. In the municipal elections, the party only defended 166 of the original 492 council seats, losing 326. He added that SPD was also losing support in poorer areas where it previously thrived, and he claimed that even Okamura's own voters were beginning to lose faith in him. He concluded the post with a wish for the downfall of political opponents, whom he derogatorily labeled. https://t.co/39epAeaGiZ #volby #politika #SPD (translated)

For the ANO movement, the municipal elections in large cities ended in a debacle. In most regional, as well as statutory cities, its share of votes significantly decreased compared to previous elections. This will likely mean that it will not participate in coalition formations there. Consequently, its chances of obtaining mayoral positions are also logically decreasing," political scientist Jakub Lysek stated for Aktuálně.cz. #HnutíANO #VolebníVýsledky #AndrejBabiš (translated)

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)

The author stated that the foreign minister was still dizzy from the electoral success in Černoušek. Given the rocket attacks on the airport in Riyadh and the local casualties, he believed it was appropriate to tighten travel recommendations for Saudi Arabia, as transit through this airport was also dangerous. #SaúdskáArabie #bezpečnost #cestovníDoporučení #CS #SA #CZ (translated)

Jan Ruzicka wrote that Trump and Putin made a "deal of the century" with the first delivery of 2.2 million barrels of oil, which he claimed the United States would consume in 14 hours. According to his estimate, the entire package would last nine days, provided that Ukrainian drones did not disrupt its production. He suggested that Trump might have anticipated the failure of the agreement and wanted to blame Volodymyr Zelensky for it. After a potential Ukrainian attack on another refinery, Ruzicka claimed that Vladimir Putin could argue that he wanted to implement the deal, but it was thwarted by Kyiv. Trump's people could then shift the blame for gas station prices onto Ukraine and question whether a war was being fought in the Gulf. He also mentioned Nord Stream and Lukoil International as other possible consequences. In conclusion, he thanked Marco Rubio for his speech at the Acropolis. #Trump #Putin #Ukraina (translated)

Lukáš Valenta wrote to Alena Schillerová and the Senate that he was convinced to vote for the ANO movement this year. He sarcastically stated that he is attracted to people whom he offensively depicted as characterless, stupid, and uneducated helpers of the mafia. He added that he wants to apply for membership in order to, as he put it, learn about corruption and cheating the state. #volby #hnutíANO #korupce (translated)

Sandu Negrea wrote that Cristela Georgescu gave an interview to Alex Jones, which he described as explosive, and mentioned that she appeared with tears in her eyes.

He also mentioned a live video broadcast from the Central Police Station on the 11th day of protests. https://t.co/iDQyJWrS4H https://t.co/o0K1fjIukR #proteste #interviu #globalizare (translated)

Reports from První Nohy indicated that Klára Sovová worked as a clerk for the National Property Fund, which was dissolved in 2006. Agricultural and forest lands managed by it, according to the author, were transferred to the Land Fund, which was supposed to sell a 1,000 m² garden in Bubenč, Prague, to Sovová in 2010 for 290,000 CZK, i.e. 290 CZK per m². The author compared the price with the then average in the area, which he quoted as 20,000 to 40,000 CZK per m², and added that Sovová later built something on the land. #štěstí #nemovitosti #Bubenč (translated)

Nae Moromete stated that PSD would have been captured by the "system" after the disappearance of Liviu Dragnea and predicted that AUR would meet the same fate after the disappearance of George Simion. He supported his prediction and urged the party's supporters to unite around Simion. Moromete claimed that those who criticized the AUR leader during those days were infiltrators of the system in the sovereignist movement. He listed Peia, Lulea, Pavelescu, and Uscova and associated them with individuals whom he said supported the "Black Widow" and who had previously appeared on "Televiziunea Poporului." He said he did not guarantee for anyone and had faith only in God, but warned that, in his opinion, propaganda aimed to divide AUR. Moromete added that he hoped Simion would not disappoint his supporters and that he saw no other chance for the party. #AUR #PSD #politica (translated)
