The newspaper P – Paukner Media claimed that the Kolín company Draslovka continued to operate in the Russian market despite a statement from March 2022 about halting supplies to Russia. It identified Jan Dobrovský as a co-owner, describing him as a significant supporter of the STAN movement and other politicians. The author stated that according to a study by the Russian institute Агентство Плодородия, Draslovka's exports to Russia increased from 300 tons of pesticides worth $500,000 in 2021 to 1,000 tons for $1.9 million in 2022. Records from the customs database Volza reportedly also captured shipments of the product Retacel 750 in 2022, including three shipments of 21,396 units, valued at $49,817.25, $49,414.29, and $49,168.93. The post further claimed that Draslovka made additional supplies in 2023 and obtained an extension of its license to sell pesticides in Russia until 2034 in 2024. According to the author, the company collaborated with Russian authorities during the licensing process, and its products were sold to both farmers and retail in Russia. The newspaper P – Paukner Media also stated that the owners of Draslovka and Dobrovský supported political entities and personalities that, according to him, acted against Russia. It attributed a donation of over 300,000 crowns to Dobrovský for Petr Pavel and noted that the group BPD Partners was the largest patron of STAN. In 2025, Dobrovský was reported to contribute 1.7 million crowns to the movement from his own funds. The author also mentioned support for the coalition SPOLU, Danuše Nerudová, and Jan Farský. The post criticized the contradiction between the declared termination of operations in Russia and the described supplies and licensing process. It noted that neither the group BPD Partners nor Draslovka responded to its inquiries about business in Russia. It also asked whether STAN or the coalition SPOLU would take a stance on their supporter’s business activities. #RuskáFederace #Politika #STAN (translated)

Martin Bartkovský stated that after sharing a statement from 40 editors-in-chief, he criticized the journalistic community for failing to unanimously agree on a rejection of violence and equal access to information sharing. He added that he generally expressed his personal opinion about those who repeatedly did not stand up for their colleagues. Subsequently, according to him, he received a number of insults and comparisons to communists. He emphasized that by not signing the statement, in his view, no harm was caused to anyone nor will it be. He stated that he did not plan to fire, kill, or hang anyone and did not prepare lists of inconvenient people. He thanked the remaining 39 editors-in-chief for supporting their colleagues across the field and apologized to them that the discussion had shifted in a different direction due to his contribution. He responded to criticism with several other apologies, including to podcast entrepreneurs, a former colleague, a Czech writer, and a former MEP. Regarding the former colleague, he recalled that for the last 10 years, the status of journalism had been labeled bad, despite the fact that they worked for the same media for six years, which the colleague led. He also mentioned that he apologized for his surname starting with the letter B, which he had for 37 years, and for the reference to Chinese spies. He also apologized to the media Euro, Info, Zdopravy, Okraj, and Chiptron, which he said were not invited to the statement, despite discussions about its wording lasting a month. He offered to connect anyone interested in adding their signature with the organizers, among whom he claimed he did not belong. In a note, he stated that he deleted the original post because he confused two writers and mistook a father for a son in connection with the anti-chart. He apologized for the error, yet called the comparison to the anti-chart inappropriate, stating that parallels with the communist past, in his view, did not help anything. #žurnalistika #svobodaSlova #politika (translated)

Martin Bartkovský stated that when he shared the statement from forty editors-in-chief, he did not expect the reaction it would provoke. He criticized that the journalistic community he addressed, according to him, was unable to unanimously agree even on rejecting violence in their relationship with politicians and on equal access to sharing information. He added that he expressed his personal judgment about those who repeatedly refused to stand up for their colleagues in an indirect manner. For that, he claimed to have received a number of insults and comparisons to communists; one of the people who signed the Anticharta wrote to him that he had never seen anything more disgusting. Bartkovský clarified that not signing the statement did not harm anyone and would not harm anyone, and he rejected the idea that he wanted to dismiss, threaten, or create lists of uncomfortable people. He thanked the remaining 39 editors-in-chief for their support for colleagues from the entire field and apologized to them for the discussion veering in a different direction due to his contribution. He then made a series of apologies that he delivered ironically: among other things, to podcast entrepreneurs for reminding him of something other than Chinese communism, to a former colleague for criticizing journalism at a time when they both worked in the same media for six years, and to a Czech writer for reminding him of his signature on the Anticharta. He also apologized to those who labeled him a "svazák" (a term for a member of the youth organization during the communist regime) and to a former Member of the European Parliament regarding his judgment about Bartkovský's character. He added that he also apologizes to the media outlets Euro, Info, Zdopravy, Okraj, and Chiptron, which, according to him, were not addressed, even though the text had been discussed for a month. He offered to connect interested parties with the organizers of the statement so that they could join him. #žurnalistika #komunikace #mediálníetiketa (translated)

Today, a group with Palestinian flags marched through Old Town Square, calling "glory to Iran." Can I ask how Iran helps Palestine? Does it accept refugees or send humanitarian aid? No - the only thing it does is bomb Israel. These people do not want to save the Palestinians, but to destroy the Jews. 🤷 #Palestina #Izrael #humanitárnípomoc (translated)

Please, Mr. Babiš graced us with the information that he is sufficiently wealthy and therefore does not need to steal. Coincidentally, this is the same narrative that retirees used to share among themselves in chain messages at a time when even Andrej Babiš did not yet know that he wanted to enter politics. And I think that the whole idea is fundamentally nonsense. It is information that is objectively correct, but it does not describe the problem as it really is. Andrej Babiš really does not need more money. Sure, we have the scandals around subsidies and the use of Agrofert, which his critics have long attacked as privileging a large holding at the expense of smaller players. But all of this is just a facade. What Andrej Babiš truly desires is power. To prove not only to himself but also to his surroundings what can be bent, and what cannot be bent; what can be broken. Ideally, without consequences. Andrej Burešuje simply because he can. Do you remember the episode of The Simpsons in which Mr. Burns blocks the sun over Springfield and then also steals a lollipop from Maggie? Not because he needed the lollipop. Because real power does not begin at the moment when you can take what you need. It begins at the moment when you can take even what you do not need at all, just to show everyone that no one can stop you. And this is exactly what this argument of "I am rich, I do not need to steal" is not about at all. #Parzival #AndrejBabiš #politika #moc (translated)

The prime minister does not want to go to Kyiv. He is sending Havlíček. The November Czech delegation to Ukraine will be led by the deputy prime minister. "The fact that the prime minister would go directly was never considered for a second." The visit of foreign politicians always has strong symbolic significance in Kyiv; moreover, AB promised a year ago that he would arrive in Ukraine this year. https://t.co/AWg8qDjw63 #Ukrajina #politika #CzechRepublic (translated)

Válka na Ukrajině zásadně ovlivňuje obě Koreje, přičemž Severní Korea posílá vojáky do Ruska a získává zkušenosti z moderního boje, zatímco Jižní Korea čelí tlaku na přímou pomoc Ukrajině, což vedlo k nedávnému diplomatickému sporu ohledně předání severokorejských zajatců. #VálkanaUkrajině #SeverníKorea #JižníKorea

Dnešní vyjádření ministra zemědělství Martina Šebestyána v Bruselu k pokračování plateb Agrofertu považuji za velmi problematické. Úkolem ministra není hledat formulaci, proč lze Agrofertu dál platit. Má veřejnosti říct, jaké konkrétní riziko nese český rozpočet a proč stát pokračuje v platbách, když Evropská komise výslovně říká, že střet zájmů premiéra není dostatečně vyřešen. Tohle není spor o slovíčka. Jde o to, kdo nakonec zaplatí účet, pokud Evropská komise tyto výdaje neuzná. Ministr zemědělství má chránit peníze českých daňových poplatníků. Pokud místo toho hledá argumenty, proč dál posílat peníze Agrofertu navzdory výhradám Evropské komise, musí vysvětlit, čí zájmy vlastně hájí. #Agrofert #Zemědělství #EvropskáKomise

Hele překvápko. Volkswagen má v Německu už víc objednávek na elektroauta než na spalováky. Drahý benzin a nafta přechod k elektromobilům výrazně zrychluje. A to je Trumpem vyvolaná fosilní krize zřejmě na počátku. Paradoxní, že spalováky do věčných lovišť posílá právě Trump. https://t.co/elUYDEKKRX #elektromobily #Volkswagen #fosilnítopiva
