Klenell does write: “Social pressures within groups and congregations seem to have occurred,” but adds: “most provide specific reasons for how they voted. Concern for racism, rents, jobs, welfare.

Vojtěch Boháč wrote that twenty-six-year-old Ilja Meškov, who according to him left Russia eight years ago, graduated from the University of Economics in Prague and a school in Texas, and after six years in the Czech Republic obtained Czech citizenship. According to Boháč, he became a partner in a Czech company focused on investments in European data centers for artificial intelligence within two years, responsible for venture capital. Boháč stated that Meškov's father is a Russian military colonel who heads a department at Bauman Moscow State Technical University, and his mother previously worked in the army and at this university. She is now, according to him, retired and has a Czech visa since this year; she travels to Prague as the wife of an active Russian colonel and career military officer. Boháč also claimed that ordinary Russians find it very difficult to obtain a visa to the Czech Republic after 2022. Citing an article that he believes described the story, Boháč posed questions about how Meškov's mother managed to obtain a visa, who has access to key data infrastructure in the EU, and how to assess the privacy of young Russians from military families who, according to him, have never actually distanced themselves from the activities of their relatives. #Investice #Kyberbezpečnost #UměláInteligence (translated)

All the analysts and experts who understand this say that this particular exception, of which we have unreasonably many, needs to be abolished because it serves no rational purpose. It increases demand, for which we have no supply, so our prices are rising. Moreover, socially it is not justified at all because it is received by middle and high-income households at the expense of others. It's a reverse Robin Hood," Rusnok said. #hypotéky #daňovéodpočty #AlenaSchillerová (translated)
