Zdeněk Šarapatka thanked his supporters and stated that their support helped him get back on his feet after the results of the Senate elections. According to him, the campaign in Prague 5 and 13 was not a fair competition about topics, but a contest over billboards. He claimed that one of the candidates was running a concurrent campaign for the Senate and the Prague City Hall, transferring funds between them, including money from a company building houses. According to Šarapatka, the state supervision office did not respond to the violations of the rules. The candidate, he claimed, received 14,606 votes out of a total of 45,782. Šarapatka also criticized the ODS, which, according to him, despite an agreement with his TOP 09, fielded its own candidate, thereby reducing the chances of defeating Václav Láska. He stated that their candidate hardly presented political positions during public appearances and instead relied on a romanticized story about the students' relationship with the school principal. He added that the students of the candidate's school, according to Šarapatka, got involved in the campaign, even though the principal was balancing on the edge of the education law. The candidate received 12,162 votes out of 45,782. As an earlier example of the split with ODS, Šarapatka mentioned its member Benda, who, according to him, appointed Matocha and Xaver Veselý to the Czech Television Council. He claimed that part of ODS contributed to his failure in the election despite the party agreements at that time. He also recalled that six years ago, at ODS's request, he supported its candidate in the second round of the Senate elections in Mělník, whom he claimed he had not seen publicly appear in the Senate since then. Šarapatka stated that he would not make the same mistake again. According to him, the result meant that there would be no amendment to the lustration law nor security clearances for government members and their deputies, and that there would be no qualified fight for a free Czech Radio and Czech Television. At the same time, he urged his supporters to keep going. #politika #volby #Senát (translated)

Jonas Zuschke accused TV2 Echo of manipulation and propaganda. He wrote that the media continued to portray the demonstrators as school students protesting against poor conditions at schools, and claimed that the coverage did not reflect reality. He also criticized the journalist's final question about what could make the viewer go out onto the streets, calling it extremely inappropriate. Zuschke urged people to share the post. #TV2Echo #Manipulation #Propaganda (translated)

The Rajchla in Hradec Králové did not take place as expected, as his candidacy at the bottom of the list brought marginal success, and his concerns about the indoctrination with the Ukrainian flag at school sparked controversy without influencing voters supporting other candidates in the Senate elections, who also did not succeed. #Volby2026 #HradecKrálové #Politika (translated)

Jiří Hrebenar wrote that Jindřich Rajchl announced before the elections that he voted for the coalition of PRO, the Free Citizens, and the Oath in Hradec Králové. At the same time, according to Hrebenar, he criticized the Ukrainian flag at the school where the voting took place and called it "a blatant indoctrination of our children." Hrebenar stated that the coalition in Hradec Králové received 2.44 percent of the votes, finished eighth out of ten competing groups, and did not gain any representative mandate. Rajchl ran from the 37th position, and according to the author, the coalition did not surpass the five percent threshold. Hrebenar also wrote that 97.56 percent of the votes went to other candidates, and he described the result as a failure of Rajchl's political ambitions. #volby #politika #HradecKrálové (translated)

Radek Bartoníček stated that he concluded the report at the club in Prague's Smíchov before midnight, where students celebrated the advancement of their high school principal Radek Sáblík to the second round of the Senate elections. According to him, the students actively engaged in the contact campaign during their free time and were set to continue it from Sunday morning. In the Prague 5 district, Václav Láska was the first to advance to the second round, to whom Bartoníček also wanted to dedicate time during the week. He wrote that both candidates agreed at the beginning of the campaign not to attack each other, and in his opinion, they adhered to that agreement. Bartoníček added that he has been following the school for several years and that the students appreciate Sáblík, among other reasons, because they can implement a number of their own projects at the school. Sáblík ran with the support of ODS, KDU-ČSL, and STAN. #volby #Praha #středníškola (translated)

The author of the contribution wrote that Macinka stated in the debate about inclusion that a child with a physical handicap is not a reason to transfer them to another class if they are mentally all right. The author described this way of expressing oneself as disgusting and asked what children who need help for other reasons are supposed to take away from such words. #inkluzivnívzdělávání #podporadětí #rovnostšancí #CZ (translated)
