Ledarsidorna.se wrote that the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, had not been improvised. According to the site, exercises, weapon caches, and a tunnel system that later Israeli assessments estimated to be hundreds of kilometers long had been built up over at least a decade. The site questioned to what extent it could be substantiated that the work had been financed with aid and why the expansion was hardly visible in the news coverage from Gaza during the same period. Ledarsidorna.se specifically pointed out Sveriges Radio's foreign correspondent Cecilia Uddén and wrote that she had questions to answer. #svpol #Israel #Hamas #Gaza (translated)

“It is quite a common practice, but instead of doing that (even though you can’t please them), I decided, among other things, to create patriotic ads and pay for them myself – with my own funds and the money I raised for MAGA. However, D. Trump himself, during a keynote speech at the Republican Party convention in Dallas in September, urged voters to 'imagine that my name is on the ballot' during the midterm elections.” #DonaldTrump #BaltiejiRūmai #politika (translated)

P – Paukner Media claimed that the media paid more attention to the accident of Filip Turek than to the testimony of Hana Marvanová in the Dozimetr case. According to him, Marvanová spoke in court about practices that she had warned Vítem Rakušan about back in 2022. The author also recalled her concerns about Stanislav Polčák and the connections between Polčák and Petr Gazdík with the Redl family, including consultations and the selection of people for state enterprises. The post stated that Polčák went on vacation with Redl and that Redl's father is currently facing trial for embezzlement in Prague. The author also wrote that investigative files had not been provided to the parliamentary committee, so according to him, it was unclear to what extent the STAN movement collaborated with individuals referred to by Marvanová as "the boys from Zlín." Regarding Turek, the author noted that the police dismissed his accident because, according to their conclusion, no crime occurred, and the prosecutor did not appeal against it. He criticized Seznam Zprávy for repeatedly changing the headlines about whether Turek met the criteria for a crime, asserting that all its elements had to be fulfilled according to valid law. According to the author, the case was also reported by Czech Television, Forum24, Novinky, and Deník N, while apart from iRozhlas and ČTK, other media did not focus on Marvanová's testimony. The author suggested that the attention given to Turek was intended to overshadow the Dozimetr case and linked the media events to Jan Dobrovský, whom he called the largest sponsor of STAN. He also announced that he wanted to publish materials from the so-called "Paukner archive." #mafie #Praha #politika (translated)
