hckošice 13,128 Posted January 28, 2023 #9542 Share Posted January 28, 2023 (edited) Czech Presidential election 2nd round is over. results are conted live https://ct24.ceskatelevize.cz/volby2023?kolo=druhe After 18% of counted votes (small villages and smaller cities districts) it looks for the former General Peter Paul (Petr Pavel ) even if Prague will decide as usual. It looks very well for Pavel who is more popular especially in the big cities Edited January 28, 2023 by hckošice rafalgorka and Monzanator 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hckošice 13,128 Posted January 28, 2023 #9543 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Czech TV called it. Babiš can not overpass Pavel anymore after 82.74% of counted votes. Petr Pavel is the new Czech president. First official visit obviously will be to Bratislava as the tradition forces our presidents to do so Monzanator 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hckošice 13,128 Posted January 28, 2023 #9545 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Well, this is something you do not see often. When a president is elected, obviously many neighboring presidents sends their congratulations, but I do believe never arrived themselves to congratulate directly president just did it, came to Prague to congratulate the new president for the election Seriously, hard to find two more close and friendly nations in this world #volby2023 Slovenská prezidentka Zuzana Čaputová dorazila osobně pogratulovat do volebního štábu Petra Pavla. pic.twitter.com/c11MqjtYBZ — ČT24 (@CT24zive) January 28, 2023 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course in 2023 they won't have to write off billions more than their income profit in Russian properties, so this year their profit will actually be profit If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

MHSN 3,047 Posted February 11, 2023 #9548 Share Posted February 11, 2023 (edited) Today is the 44th anniversary of so-called "Islamic Revolution". I'm not old enough to witness those days myself, but the more I read and learn about those days, specially last 10 days, it's clear to me that things could easily go another way, but some small mistakes led us to the current disaster. putting the whole power in the hands of just one person is very dangerous. how the hell he could trick everybody into believing him. he didn't even try to be likeable. now 44 years later, we are at a dead end. no light at the end of the tunnel. they are not giving up an inch (because they think if they do, they will lose everything) and people are getting more angry and hopeless. not sure what will happen when this vengeful oldman dies, and we can't even count on that because it seems he is going to outlive everybody on the planet. but we are running out of time, I'm not even sure if the country exists few years from now.

Vektor 3,177 Posted February 12, 2023 #9549 Share Posted February 12, 2023 (edited) God fucking damn it. It looks like the rumors might be true about that Western European (German?) antifascists beat up somebody in Budapest yesterday. I hope this will turn out to be a hoax, but the Hungarian police are on it and they already caught multiple foreign individuals who were part of this madness. Do these people not realize how much this hurts the reputation of the left-wing and Western Europe in Hungary? We are already getting more and more conservative and anti-West as time progresses, and shit like this will only make things worse. This is not the image you want Hungarians to see about Western liberals, even if their intention is to beat up neonazis. And even if it turns out this wasn't antifa, the fact that foreigners come into our country to pull shit like this is infuriating.
