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)

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)

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)

Oliver Adámek described the results of STAN in Prague as a triumph and wrote that the party strengthened in almost all city districts. He attributed this to the work of Petr Hlaváček and his team, as well as to the outcomes of promoting major projects. He considered STAN, Prague itself, and the Pirates to be the programmatically most suitable coalition at the magistrate. According to him, the disrupted relationships between Hlaváček and Adam Scheinherr from the campaign hindered it, and part of the leadership of Prague's STAN preferred cooperation with ODS. Adámek also pointed out the differences between STAN and SPOLU in transportation and housing: Hlaváček advocated for urban housing construction, parking restrictions, prioritization of public transport, and tolls in the city center, while the leader of SPOLU criticized the Prague development company and rejected the idea of the city building apartments. He concluded that without concessions from one of the parties, major agreements might not succeed again. He also described a coalition of STAN and SPOLU, extended by Prague itself or the Pirates, as possible but unlikely. He stated that the larger parties would have to give up seats they did not need, leading to an even more disparate grouping. He deemed SPOLU's result as decent, but also noted that the coalition weakened in most city districts and could lose mayors. According to him, the Pirates were losing everywhere, while Prague itself attracted liberal voters; he cited city districts Prague 1, 8, 6, and 10 as examples. #Praha #obecnívolby #politika (translated)
