Pavel Jechort wrote that the amounts by which, according to him, Andrej Babiš deprives public finances annually might rather reach tens than billions. According to him, the deficit of 400 billion explained why there is no money left for anything, and he accused Babiš of indebting the state at the expense of future generations so that he could steal. Jechort also praised the attached photograph again. https://t.co/erxhou61NN #politika #ekonomie #korupce (translated)

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)

The author wrote that the elections were a celebration of democracy, which every democrat should respect and use with humility. He reminded that entire generations could not vote, or had to participate in pre-staged elections and confirm candidates chosen by the Communist Party.

Pavel Jechort wrote that seniors should not be prioritized; the focus should be on the generations that earn money and pay off debts. He stated that, in his opinion, ANO is pushing seniors into an intergenerational conflict that they cannot win, and the sooner they realize this, the better. https://t.co/4vCIxjICbq #senioři #generace #mezigenerační (translated)

"This is one of the hardest decisions we have had to make in recent years. We are very aware that Ostravar is much more than just a brewery. For generations, it has been part of Ostrava and has played an important role in the development of brewing, in the lives of our employees and the entire community," said Martin Čermák, director for the Czech Republic and Slovakia of the Staropramen Breweries, which, along with Ostravar, is part of the Molson Coors group. #Ostravar #pivovar #pivovarnictví (translated)

Roman Kolář asked why the activists from Last Generation, who glued themselves to roads during Petr Fiala's government, were now silent according to him. He claimed that their protests helped motorists in the elections and questioned whether they were bothered by Filip Turk's and Petr Macinka's approach to ecology. He was also interested in the investigation of the factory fire in Pardubice, which produced equipment for Ukraine. He wrote that, according to available claims, leftist perpetrators set it on fire believing it served Israel, and he asked if it was already known who had incited them. In response to Tomáš Dvořák's text, he stated that Russia, in his view, supported the division of society and political extremes across the spectrum through disinformation and fake accounts. Therefore, he did not consider the left to be a lesser threat than the right. In Germany, he identified AfD, Die Linke, and BSW as pro-Russian entities. In France, he believed that in political conflict, Marine Le Pen and Jean-Luc Mélenchon would likely face each other; both, according to Kolář, rejected assistance to Ukraine. #politika #ekologie #dezinformace (translated)

"Some secondary schools in Paris are quite well-equipped and don't have much to complain about. But other schools in the suburbs, and even right in Paris, are completely dilapidated and absolutely unsuitable for students," describes fifteen-year-old Natacha the reason for her presence at the blockade to Seznam Zprávy. #studentsképrotesty #francouzskáskola #generaceZ (translated)

"Many people wished that the Voynich manuscript was created by some mad genius working the land in medieval London or anywhere else. In fact, however, the evidence suggests that it is more of a collective work, possibly a collection of pamphlets through which information was passed down from generation to generation," added Lisa Fagin Davis, who is a co-author of the new study. #Voynichůvrukopis #středověkáhistorie #mystérium (translated)

Oliver Adámek wrote that Budapest's mayor Gergely Karácsony recalled Václav Havel yesterday. According to Adámek, his text demonstrated how Havel transcended borders and how he is spoken of in Hungary. In the text, Karácsony mentioned that Havel would have turned 90 years old and that without him, the democratic transformation of Central Europe would have been unimaginable. His essay from the late 1970s on "the power of the powerless" inspired regime opponents in Hungary and Poland and remains a significant legacy. He added that Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney referenced it this January when calling for cooperation among democratic middle-sized countries. Karácsony described Havel as a defender of human rights, Visegrad cooperation, and European unity. According to him, Havel understood Europe as a lasting intellectual, moral, and political task that each generation must revisit. #VáclavHavel #LidskáPráva #Demokracie (translated)

Ondřej Tesárek wrote that the attempt to present demands for the verification of the identity of people who insult others as a confident and mature stance will not succeed with either Tomáš Zdechovský or the recipient. He labeled a generation that grew up on a free internet and now demands absolute control for future generations as a disgrace. He claimed that people like the recipient remain liberal only on issues of sexuality and drugs, while in other areas they are, in his view, “hard normalizing communists.” He added that the system of free political competition, freedom of speech, and human rights cannot be threatened by anonymous critics, and he recommended that the recipient watch Lijavec. #svoboda #sloboda #politika (translated)

Expert Martin Jánský claims that artificial intelligence will not replace humans in job positions, but rather those who can work better with it, and points to a paradoxical situation in the Czech labor market, where unemployment is rising while companies struggle to find suitable talent. #PracovníTrh #GeneraceZ #FlexibilníPráce (translated)

Vít Rakušan wrote that his generation, including himself and his friends, liked Václav Havel and associated him with the wild nineties, travel, cultural diversity, and joy of life. After the death of Havel's wife Olga, he said he went to her funeral. When Havel died, he was a young mayor and displayed his portrait in front of the town hall and lit a candle. Rakušan stated that he still missed Havel. He described him as a complex and imperfect person who was authentic and wise and had a clear moral and political compass. According to Rakušan, totalitarians, former members of the StB, Communists, and Nazis breathed more easily in Havel's presence. After his departure, he said, society became coarser, the effort to come to terms with its own past diminished, and values lost their emphasis. Rakušan wrote that he did not wish Havel’s legacy to be remembered with pathos, sadness, or an artificial cult. He wanted, he said, to create the country that Havel desired: vibrant, civic, self-confident, free, and firmly anchored in the West, without self-justification and moral compromises. In conclusion, he wished Havel a happy birthday. #VáclavHavel #politika #českáhistorie (translated)
