Miko Bergbom wrote that the changes in the polls had, in his opinion, stirred feelings among some members of the National Coalition Party, who expressed their dissatisfaction towards the Finns Party. He doubted that this would be helpful and suggested focusing on the formation of a right-wing government. Bergbom supported the continuation of spending cuts and preventing tax increases aimed at work and entrepreneurship amounting to billions of euros. His proposals included tightening immigration restrictions and continuing spending cuts, taxing foundations and trade unions, as well as reforming taxation related to work and entrepreneurship. He criticized the vice-chair of the National Coalition Party group, Pia Kauma, for focusing on being outraged by comments on social media. Bergbom suggested that this might serve as a smokescreen for building a Social Democrat-National Coalition government. Finally, he asked Martin Paasi whether he supported the continuation of the right-wing basis. #politiikka #maahanmuutto #verotus (translated)

It is better to agree than to compete. Be that as it may, if Gerardo Pisarello, from the Comuns (which forms part of the Frente Amplio along with IU, Movimiento Sumar, and Más Madrid), argued a few days ago that "nothing should be ruled out" when asked about the primaries proposed by Podemos, the spokesperson for the group in Congress, Verónica Martínez Barbero, asserted that "it is better to agree than to compete" between parties, thus burying the proposal from the purple party. #FrenteAmplio #Podemos #Elecciones2026 (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)
