Gavin N. Harris wrote that Donald Trump, Andrej Babiš, Robert Fico, and other politicians will eventually leave, and he believes it is more likely to happen sooner rather than later. He added that tens of thousands of people collaborated with them voluntarily, and that history will view them similarly to how it views former members of the NSDAP or the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia today. #politika #historie #kolaborace (translated)

For a car manufacturer like Škoda, it doesn't make a difference whether it will be 90 or 100 percent. The share of internal combustion engines is so low that it is no longer profitable to manufacture something like the Octavia when you sell 10,000 of them a year. It may be profitable for a brand that makes expensive sports cars, but not for Škoda Auto. Today, the former member of the management board of Škoda Auto, Martin Jahn, who is now the sales director of VW, commented on this clearly in a June interview for Hospodářské noviny: "For a car manufacturer like Škoda, it doesn't make a difference whether it will be 90 or 100 percent. The share of internal combustion engines is so low that it is no longer profitable to manufacture something like the Octavia when you sell 10,000 of them a year.

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)

Piotr Szymaniak – For many years, Poland did not have a modern risk assessment tool. Today, we join the small group of countries in Europe and around the world that can boast such a solution. PSORR is not just a step forward, but a leap into the future that changes the way we think about measuring the effectiveness of working with offenders – said Deputy Minister of Justice Maria Ejchart in February 2025 during an international conference dedicated to risk assessment among offenders. #PrawoKarne #Recydywa #Algorytm (translated)

The referendum is an expression of the will of the people, emphasized the president of the republic, Nataša Pirc Musar, who advocated for the possibility of examining the so-called referendum day, which would separate referendums on important issues from daily political calculations. #referendum #Slovenija #volitve (translated)

Vid Mlakar described the ratio of three votes in favor and one against in a close match as an exceptionally good result. He wrote that the government received the green light for the dismantling of funding for RTV Slovenia, and that the law on the parliamentary investigation is therefore less important in his opinion. He forecasted that critical information about the left will gradually come to the media and the public, adding that the left has "replaced the farmer with a fortress." #politika #Slovenija #RTVSLO (translated)

Vinko Vasle wrote that the right should think ahead about the left's responses instead of just defending itself. He argued that the left used the experiences of the political police from Kučan's UDBA to the police that Klakočar allegedly introduced into parliamentary practice, and with political-mafia propaganda attacked something that, in his words, is usual in parliamentary democracies. He labeled the right as being too gentlemanly in its clashes with the left and believed that it should respond to attacks with equal force. #politika #desnica #levica (translated)

Vinko Vasle wrote that the law on parliamentary investigation has not been approved, although he claimed it was intended for a political showdown against corruption and crime on the left. He believed that the actions of the police, prosecution, and courts are more important, and called on law enforcement to start honestly investigating at least the cases of Golob and Janković. He argued that this could also lead to actions against others whom he labeled as part of a mafia-corrupted politics at various levels. Vasle highlighted the delay in taking action as a serious challenge and stated that everything is quiet regarding SKOK. He mentioned the arrests in Romania and the investigations into attempts to bribe some MPs of the Resni.ca party as a possible starting point. #korupcija #politika #pravosodje (translated)
