Ján Simkanič wrote that the elections revealed the weakening position of Andrej Babiš and the ANO Movement. He compared Babiš's post-election speech to the output of artificial intelligence that makes up answers without the necessary groundwork, claiming that Babiš has run out of ideas and capable people who could join him. Simkanič predicted three years of governance with no benefit to the country, full of excuses, manipulations, and lies. He also warned of a possible attempt to aggressively control what he believes is still remaining, from public media to financial flows to the capacity of citizens to resist. He added that with increasing intensity, such steps would become more noticeable and ultimately unsuccessful. He called for the defense of everything that can be defended, even in small parts. #volby #Babiš #politika (translated)

Dawid Wildstein criticized the reactions to Karol Nawrocki's training with Manny Pacquiao. He wrote that the biggest sports media outlets in the world, not just boxing ones, noticed the training and reacted positively to it, which—he believes—brought international promotion to Poland. Wildstein accused Polish critics, including MP Trela and Zdrojewski from KO, of portraying the training as a glorification of fights and a source of shame. He claimed that such statements insulted millions of people training in boxing. He linked the critics to the influence of "Wyborcza" and TVN, using vulgar and offensive terms against them. He also wrote that individuals he described as being connected to Donald Tusk and Roman Giertych commented on foreign, including Philippine, websites to criticize Nawrocki and attack people praising Poland. He called the whole situation an absurdity and a reason for shame. #sport #Polska #hejt (translated)

Denik P – Paukner Media addressed Filip Turek's apology for his statements about the DUHA Movement in a post. It stated that Turek repeated the wording of the court ruling in the video, but also mentioned which people he believed left the original team at the Ministry of the Environment. The author focused on their professional backgrounds and attitudes towards energy. Regarding Martin Sedlák, an advisor to Petr Hladík, it was written that he previously worked in the DUHA Movement and later led the Union of Modern Energy and the Alliance for a Zero-Emission Future. He attributed to him statements from 2009 and 2011 against the need for nuclear energy and stated that he collaborated with DUHA on delaying the completion of Temelín. Martin Ander, another former DUHA employee and advisor to the minister, was identified as a proponent of a zero-emission economy and strict measures against both coal and nuclear power plants. It was claimed that Ander advocated for the termination of Czech nuclear energy and that similar policies in Germany contributed to the consequences of the energy crisis. The head of the climate protection section at the ministry, Petr Holub, was also linked by the author to the DUHA Movement and opposition to nuclear energy. It was noted that Holub promoted climate education at the ministry and participated in the National Climate and Energy Plan, which, according to the post, set a 30% share of production from renewable sources. It was also claimed that Holub advocated for subsidy support in the law for the creation of renewable energy capacity corresponding to ten times the installed capacity of Dukovany. The author estimated the investment costs from 2023 to 2030 at 100 billion crowns per year and referred to a SEEPIA study. Eva Lejsalová, the director of PR at the ministry, was described by the author as a former director of the political institute of KDU-ČSL, not an environmental expert. Regarding communication director Martin Polívka, it was written that he was Hladík's chief of staff in Brno; according to the author, he did not have the necessary education and called himself a political marketing expert. Petr Holub's advisor, Edvard Sequens, was labeled as an anti-nuclear activist and a member of the Calla association. He attributed to him support for the rapid end of coal energy and industrial contraction and stated that the association opposed new reactors in Dukovany and Temelín even in 2025. According to the author, Sequens considered nuclear energy an outdated technology that could be replaced by renewable sources and lower energy consumption in industries. Regarding Radim Misiaček, the project director of acceleration zones, the author stated that his contract with the ministry included a fee of 7,000 crowns daily for selecting experts, without a specified working time. Among the selected, he mentioned Martin Abel, a candidate from the Greens and a member of the Climate Lawsuit association, and Eva Volfová, a politician from STAN, whom he claimed had gained a stake in a company drawing state contracts. He added that he believed the case was being investigated by the police. In conclusion, the author refused to assess whether they were experts. He reacted to the media's labeling of their departure from the ministry as an "exodus of experts" and "dismantling of the expert team," stating that he wanted to present the people Turek claimed to have "scraped" from the ministry. #HnutíDUHA #energetika #odborníci (translated)

Pavel Jechort criticized the reactions to Eva Pavlová, who defended her husband, and wrote that everyone attacked her. He labeled Zemanová as better, as she, according to him, kept at least 100 km away from her husband, or Monike, whom he described as a woman spending time at the beach and shopping. He questioned whether Monike knew where she got the money for furs and handbags, and added that there were sources. He called women who stood by their husbands despicable. #feminismus #rovnost #společnost (translated)

In his contribution, Marek Štefan described the case of a worker from the Irkutsk Anti-Plague Research Institute for Siberia and the Far East, who, according to local media, was hospitalized with severe pneumonia after a test tube containing the plague pathogen broke and died on Thursday. The head of Buryatia, Alexei Tsydenov, according to Štefan, stated that the woman died of an unspecified form of the plague; nearly 200 people were under medical supervision, according to local media. Štefan explained that the Yersinia pestis bacteria, in his view, is transmitted in nature between rodents and fleas, and it primarily reaches humans through flea bites or contact with an infected animal. According to him, the plague still exists in Africa, especially in Madagascar and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, in Asia, and in the western United States, where several hundred cases are reported each year. He distinguished bubonic, septicemic, and pneumonic forms; he identified the latter as the most severe and stated that without treatment, it is almost always fatal. According to Štefan, pneumonic plague spreads through droplets during close contact, typically with a patient in the late stage of the disease. He added that the bacteria quickly dies outside the host and that the disease can be treated with common antibiotics, with resistance being extraordinarily rare in his opinion. People after risky contact, according to his contribution, receive a seven-day course of preventive antibiotics. He classified laboratory infections as rare today when the necessary precautions are observed. He also stated that there is no evidence of the possible use of the bacteria for bioterrorism in the current context. He called the risk to the Czech Republic zero and recommended following official sources, not Russian information channels. #mor #zdraví #epidemie (translated)

The P Diary - Paukner Media reported that Zdeněk Hřib introduced a designation for companies he claims are dependent on subsidies. The author subsequently compiled an overview of their largest recipients and argued that the greatest dependence was not exhibited by Andrej Babiš, but by the sponsor of the STAN movement, Jan Dobrovský, along with his partners. According to him, their energy holding REN Power CZ a.s. received up to 70% of its revenue from public support and Dobrovský and his partners withdrew 3.4 billion crowns from the company over the past two years, which the author claimed was taxed in Liechtenstein. In the headline of the post, it was stated that the holding received 80 times more state support than Babiš. Regarding Veolia Energie, the author wrote that over the last four years it received 5.5 times more subsidies than the entire Agrofert holding, and that government support accounted for 20.5% of its annual turnover. According to him, Veolia employed 2,200 people, while Agrofert companies employed more than 17,700. The author stated that the article was available on HeroHero and was scheduled to be published on social media and in the P Diary the following day at 5:00 PM. He also announced that he was calculating the subsidies received by the partially state-owned ČEZ over the past four years. If he classified Dobrovský and his partners, as well as Veolia, as subsidy recipients, ČEZ would represent a "Colombian subsidy cartel", according to him. The author also doubted that Hřib would designate Dobrovský as a subsidy recipient and estimated that subsequent media criticism would last no more than a day or two. #dotace #hospodářství #politika (translated)

Ivan Bartoš wrote that Andrej Babiš and his ministers promised cheap energy in the Chamber and claimed that they had the situation under control. Boris Šťastný from the Motorists supposedly promised that the government would not increase people's living costs, and discussed with Bartoš on CNN Prima in the evening. Bartoš connected Šťastný's performance with what he referred to as a Pyrrhic victory for the Motorists: according to him, they failed to manage Andrej Babiš but confirmed trust in the government. As a counterargument, he mentioned that the recommended prices from the Energy Regulatory Office for new and refixed contracts increased by 14% for electricity and by 20% for gas in the month. He added that the Pirates presented a nine-point Energy Security Manifesto in the spring, which he claimed included reducing dependence on imported fossil fuels, developing domestic sources and renewable energy, savings for families and businesses, better connections with neighbors, and assisting people in times of sharp price increases. Bartoš also wrote that a smaller dependence on gas and oil from unstable parts of the world would limit the impact of wars and geopolitical crises on energy bills. #energie #bezpečnost #politika (translated)

Merz: Russia is not interested in peace talks, but it will not win the war. “Russia will not win this war, and Russia itself will suffer enormous losses, including losses to its economy. We are already seeing how unstable the economic situation in Russia is. If Russia continues this war, it will pay a high price,” warned the German Chancellor. Friedrich Merz stated that Berlin will continue to support Kyiv militarily, politically, financially, and economically for as long as necessary. Germany will help Ukraine survive the upcoming winter, which could be very difficult. Berlin is also looking for alternative sources of oil. Merz identified Kazakhstan as an important option to replace Russian supplies. #Rusko #Ukrajina #Válka (translated)
