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)

Jiří Hrebenar stated that Martin Král won one of the seven mandates in the municipal council in Černouček, receiving 104 candidate votes. According to him, he did not run for Motorists for themselves, but as an independent candidate on the local candidate list of the Association of Independent Candidates ČERNOUČEK 2026. Hrebenar reminded that Král is a member of Motorists for themselves, and the leadership of the party, led by Petr Macinka, Boris Šťastný, and Oto Klempíř, presented his election as a political success. However, according to Hrebenar, Motorists gained their member in the council, not a victory for their party candidate list. In response to Klempíř's remark that the residents of Černouček elected a king after the president, Hrebenar wrote that Petr Pavel still has permanent residence in the village, and his presidential mandate continues. According to him, the newly established council will decide on the mayor. The Association of Independent Candidates ČERNOUČEK 2026 gained four out of seven mandates, while the Černouček for themselves grouping got the remaining three. Hrebenar added that no coronation has taken place in the village yet. #Černouček #volby #politika (translated)
