The author of the contribution stated that the EU, in his view, stood on the side of rules rather than the law of the stronger. He identified the interest of other countries in joining the Union or deeper cooperation with it as a possible reason for its attractiveness. According to him, the EU’s stance on Ukraine confirmed this view. In conclusion, he began to assert that the USA under Trump is no longer, but did not complete the sentence. https://t.co/bBHRt6I8hG #EU #právo #Ukrajina #EU #UA #US (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)

The boycott of Babiš's products claimed that Andrej Babiš placed Agrofert in a trust fund, but retained SynBiol in personal ownership. According to the author, he held through SynBiol 87.75 percent of the investment group Hartenberg Holding, whose clinics last year received a total of 1.1 billion crowns from health insurance companies. The author stated that the amount of payments to healthcare facilities was determined by the Ministry of Health through a reimbursement decree and that the ministry in the new government was led by ANO's nominee Adam Vojtěch. He also claimed that Babiš owned 40 percent of the Czech IVF market and connected him with the director of Hartenberg before Vojtěch's first ministerial term. The post also recalled Babiš's promise to relinquish Agrofert, which according to the author he made on Instagram before being appointed prime minister by President Petr Pavel. The author further stated that the European Commission refused to reimburse subsidies to companies linked to Babiš until the conflict of interest was credibly resolved, and that the government was to provide measures concerning SynBiol's reproductive clinics within 30 days. He also quoted Kupka, who stated that the person determining the rules was at the beginning and end of the financial flow. https://t.co/b8hbYIP4Dq #AndrejBabiš #Agrofert #SynBiol (translated)

Jan Betlach stated that on October 10, 1960, then Israeli Foreign Minister Golda Meir offered Arab states negotiations with Prime Minister David Ben Gurion in New York or elsewhere, without preconditions. According to his contribution, she proposed discussions on peace, or at least on a non-aggression pact, specifically reaching out to Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser, Jordanian King Hussein, and the Lebanese Prime Minister. Betlach added that Israel, at that time, had a width of only 15 kilometers at its narrowest point due to the 1949 armistice, and the Arab states rejected the offer. One Western European delegate reportedly told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that he hadn't heard a more reasonable proposal in a long time. Betlach wrote that Saudi representative Ahmad Shukairy used Nazi-related expressions twelve times in his subsequent reply and compared Meir to the Nazis. Five days later, according to his contribution, Nasser declared that Israel was trying to deceive world public opinion and that Egypt would never recognize the Jewish state. Shukairy later became the first chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization and drafted its charter, which, according to Betlach, rejected a Jewish state in any borders. Betlach concluded that Meir was only requesting a meeting but was rejected and made the target of comparisons to perpetrators of the murder of European Jews. #historie #BlízkýVýchod #mír (translated)

After the election evening, Robert Ágh wrote that the performances of the heads of the deciding political parties in front of the cameras offered a possibility for comparison. He labeled Andrej Babiš's speech as grossly incoherent and stated that, in his opinion, it showed the "madness" of the situation. In connection with the geopolitical crisis and the rise of artificial intelligence, he claimed that the country is in the hands of an aging man, for whom he used derogatory terms. #politika #volby #Českárepublika (translated)
