Žiga Turk believed that it was not possible to win the referendum on taxes for the wealthy in Slovenia and that he would therefore ignore it. According to his proposal, after the law fell, all tax solutions would be accepted again. He wrote that legislation on the subjects decided at the referendum could not be changed for one year, and referendums on taxes are not permissible. From this, he concluded that the referendum was not about taxes and that laws on them could be adopted the very next day. To maintain the non-tax solutions from the omnibus law, their advocates would have to get involved in the campaign, in his opinion. He questioned why the government would take risks for people who are not interested in this. #Slovenija #Referendum #Davki (translated)

Jura Háček thanked Petr Pavel and labeled him a good president. He believed that people considered it a major mistake that he did not fly halfway around the world to cast his ballot in Černouček. Háček denounced the criticism as exaggerated and wrote that insignificant matters were being dealt with in the Czech Republic and discussed to the extreme. He reminded that, in his opinion, people did not appreciate the government of Petr Fiala and, in the meantime, grew accustomed to Petr Pavel. He claimed that Babiš's voters would have supported their politician in similar circumstances instead of criticizing him and would have wished him a nice vacation. Háček also stated that some previously labeled Fiala as weak and criticized his dismissal of Ivan Bartoš via SMS as well as the gesture of rabbit ears. He linked the current conditions to the fact that, according to him, Andrej Babiš and Tomio Okamura are now in government, and in the Chamber of Deputies, there are people whom he labeled with derogatory terms. He warned that continued criticism of the president could lead to similar people getting to Prague Castle, after which, according to him, Pavel and the First Lady of public life would resign. #politika #prezident #Česko (translated)
