"This PSD minority government actually means positioning the PSD in a vulnerable area, in an area where... But I make a reverse offer: PSD votes for a PNL-UDMR minority government. Come on! I am convinced they will not do this (accepting a minority government from the Liberals - editor's note). That is why I was telling you that all these tricks need to be set aside if we want to find a future. Because I see them as political tricks in a difficult period," said Sorin Grindeanu in an interview with Antena 3, according to News.ro. #PSD #guvernare #LucaNiculescu (translated)

We have a decision, based on the experience we had in the last year, not to participate in the current political context in governments with the Social Democratic Party, and if this party is in a government, PNL will go into opposition. (...) I informed Mr. Luca Niculescu that PNL is open to granting a vote of installation to this Government. The leader of the liberals, interim Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan, informed the designated Prime Minister that PNL does not intend to participate, alongside PSD, in the government that will be proposed, but that it is open to granting "a vote of installation." #Guvernare #LucaNiculescu #FormaGuvernului (translated)

Sorin Grindeanu asked the Liberals and UDMR to participate in building a transparent majority and to together assume the responsibility of governance. #GuvernulRomâniei #Politică #NegocieriParlamentare (translated)
We need a government. In the formation of a majority, as long as we take into account both the position of the PSD and the position of the PNL leader, Mr. Bolojan, the decisive factors remain the settlements in UDMR and in the National Liberal Party, which, as I said, is a kind of "Gordian knot" of this situation. Live on Antena 3 CNN, the former president of PNL, Crin Antonescu, stated that this is the last chance for the Romanian political scene to form a pro-Western or pro-European government. #Politic #Guvernare #România (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)
Alex Vanopslagh wrote that Liberal Alliance's Mads Strange had asked a person who described himself as a conservative Muslim in the TV 2 program Højskolen on Wednesday if it was a problem that only 16 percent of Muslim men in Denmark believed that homosexuality was acceptable. According to Vanopslagh, the person rejected that it was a problem and would not answer what he personally thought about homosexuality. Vanopslagh wrote that he disagreed and considered homophobia to be among the least Danish things. He believed that Muslims could be Danish if they supported the fundamental values of democracy and had embraced Denmark. As a member of parliament, he claimed to have both the right and the duty to establish the requirements for Danish citizenship. He wrote that applicants should at a minimum acknowledge the precedence of Danish law over religious laws, an individual's right to make choices about his life, and equal rights for homosexuals. They should also not support Islamist regimes or terrorist movements. Therefore, Liberal Alliance would screen applicants and say no to individuals who had praised terrorism, supported Hamas or similar organizations, threatened people who left Islam, or acted hostile towards homosexuals, he wrote. Vanopslagh wrote that the government would reintroduce a bill on citizenship for 2,055 individuals. He referred to the government's own statement that applicants' values should be screened, but that the screening should not apply to the 2,055 individuals. According to him, this risked allowing Islamists, rabid anti-Semites, or anti-democrats to gain citizenship. Liberal Alliance would not vote for more citizenships until the screening was in place, Vanopslagh wrote. He described Danish citizenship as a gift rather than a right. #Danmark #Statsborgerskab #LiberalAlliance (translated)
Robert Kwit wrote that he wanted to apologize to TVN24 for earlier doubts regarding the station's credibility. He ironically described the alleged course of the program "Loża Prasowa," which was supposed to be dedicated to the Kołodziejczak issue. He attributed outrage to Dominika Wielowiejska from "Gazeta Wyborcza," apologies on behalf of liberal journalists to Jacek Gądek from "Newsweek," refusal to comment to Agnieszka Wiśniewska from "Krytyka Polityczna," and a call for Donald Tusk's resignation to Mariusz Janicki from "Polityka." He added that the host Arleta Zalewska allegedly used offensive terms towards Kołodziejczak. Kwit then noted that he was joking: according to him, the participants of the program did not mention the Deputy Minister of Agriculture in Tusk's government nor did they devote any moment to the matter. #dziennikarstwo #Polska #lożaprasowa (translated)
