Lukáš Valášek wrote that the state-owned company Čepro has paid Agrofert over 19 billion crowns for contracts without a public tender since 2017. According to him, Čepro began to claim that it did not have to hold public tenders after the law prohibiting companies owned by politicians from obtaining public contracts came into effect. Valášek stated that the company has relied on the opinion of the then vice-chairwoman of the Office for Protection of Competition (ÚOHS), who left the office due to suspicions of manipulating decisions in favor of representatives of the ANO party, Jaroslav Faltýnek and Jiří Švachula. According to him, she signed the opinion before her departure. In preparing it, she was supposed to have used documents from the ministries led by Alena Schillerová and Karel Havlíček, which, according to Valášek, downplayed Čepro's exceptional position, even though it is captured in state strategies. According to Valášek, the government of Petr Fiala did not address the matter, and the ministries, now again under the control of Havlíček and Schillerová, do not want to reopen it based on their statements. Čepro also refused to inform him how many contracts it has already awarded to Agrofert under the new government of Andrej Babiš, despite the ÚOHS ruling that the company is subject to the information law at the request of the Pirate Party's analytical team. Valášek added that even the ÚOHS led by Petr Mlsna, whom Babiš appointed, did not see a reason for a review. According to Valášek, the Prime Minister decided whether the government would extend Mlsna's mandate for additional years. https://t.co/O1ekCFdPwn #Česko #politika #korupce (translated)

The state company Čepro purchases biofuels from the Agrofert holding without competitions and without public oversight, thereby bringing more than 19 billion crowns to the companies of this holding, while the deals are justified by the fact that the public procurement law does not apply to them. #LexBabiš #Agrofert #korupce (translated)

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)

Ondřej Tesárek wrote that the attempt to present demands for the verification of the identity of people who insult others as a confident and mature stance will not succeed with either Tomáš Zdechovský or the recipient. He labeled a generation that grew up on a free internet and now demands absolute control for future generations as a disgrace. He claimed that people like the recipient remain liberal only on issues of sexuality and drugs, while in other areas they are, in his view, “hard normalizing communists.” He added that the system of free political competition, freedom of speech, and human rights cannot be threatened by anonymous critics, and he recommended that the recipient watch Lijavec. #svoboda #sloboda #politika (translated)

The sports report stated that Jiří Sláma could have played for Jablonec in the MOL Cup against Dukla on Friday, but instead played against the reigning world champions from Spain the next day and scored a goal. At 27 years old, according to the author, this was only his second goal in professional competitions. According to the sports report, Sláma spent his career at Sigma Olomouc, with the exception of a loan at Pardubice. In May 2025, he won the Czech Cup with them, the first club trophy in adult football, and in the following season, he played in European competitions for the first time. Before the current season, he transferred to Jablonec and played in all six qualifying matches of the Conference League, five times in the starting lineup. According to the author, Jablonec progressed to the league phase, which Sláma will play for the second time in a row and with a second club. He received his first national team call-up in September 2026 as a replacement for the injured David Jurásek. He made his debut against Croatia in the starting lineup and played 83 minutes; according to the sports report, he then played full matches against England and Spain. The author added that without Jurásek's injury, Sláma would likely have played for Jablonec against Dukla on Friday and watched the match against Spain on television. In the match against Spain, he also clashed with Lamin Yamal, for example. #fotbal #reprezentace #ČeskáRepublika (translated)
