💧😡 Víte, že Vám zásadně ZDRAŽÍ voda? Že kraje přijdou o další peníze? Že si takhle plánuje stát zase zalepit svou díru v rozpočtu a získat peníze na své nesmyslné rozhazování? Na Váš úkor? A to celé chce tahle vláda udělat téměř potají jako přílepek k zákonu o ROSTLINOLÉKAŘSKÉ PÉČI, který ještě není schválen, ale stát už s tím počítá v rozpočtu. Zásadně to odmítám!

O co vlastně jde?
Pokud berete vodu z vodovodu, tak provozovatel vodovodu tu vodu bere z nějakého podzemního zdroje. A musí platit za odběr podzemní vody poplatek.
Poplatek pro pitné účely je 2 koruny za kubík.
Takto vybrané peníze se rozdělují z 50% krajům a z 50% státu. Jako Středočeský kraj máme z těchto peněz příjem 55 mil. za rok. A z toho financujeme vodohospodářské projekty, například vodovody, kanalizace a čistírny odpadních vod, především v menších obcích. Naopak k těmto penězům přidáváme další, a tak do měst a obcí středočeského kraje na projekty důležité pro zvýšení standardu vašeho bydlení a zajištění základních potřeb dáváme 150 až 170 mil. Kč.
Nejde tedy o peníze, které by někde ležely ladem. Pomáhají zajistit základní infrastrukturu, kterou lidé potřebují každý den. Na to teď budeme mít významně méně peněz a to bude mít dopad zase opět na vás. Třeba se svého vodovodu nebo kanalizace nedočkáte, protože obce na to prostě ze svého rozpočtu bez příspěvku kraje nedosáhnou.

Teď půjde do parlamentu projednání na zásadní změnu. Ze 2 Kč bude tento poplatek zvýšen na 7 Kč za kubík!!! To je zdražení o 250 % !!! A současně kraje přijdou o svůj podíl z těchto peněz a všechno půjde státu - 1/7 půjde do SFŽP a 6/7 Ministerstvu zemědělství. Kraje nula.
Tak aby také ne, když vláda podporuje velké zemědělce, kterým dává i příspěvek na pojištění jejich podnikatelské činnosti a ministerstvo vyplácí neoprávněně dotace Agrofertu.

Tahle důležitá změna, která vám rozhodne významně zdraží pitnou vodu a připraví kraje o významné příjmy, se prosazuje jako přílepek poslance Turečka z ANO k zákonu o rostlinolékařské péči!!!

Tohle považuji za nepřijatelné.

Tak zásadní změna se nemá schovávat do pozměňovacího návrhu zákona, který s vodou vůbec nesouvisí. Občané mají právo vědět, že se jim může zdražit pitná voda. A kraje mají právo bránit prostředky, ze kterých pomáhají obcím budovat vodohospodářskou infrastrukturu.

Za Středočeský kraj takový postup odmítám. O vodě a penězích občanů se má rozhodovat transparentně, ne téměř v utajení.

Bill Clinton on Trump:

I've known President Trump a long time. We used to have quite a friendly relationship 24 years ago. We'd play golf.

He kept saying, "We're the biggest, strongest, richest country in the world. Why don't we just put a bunch of tariffs on everybody else and stop paying taxes altogether?"

I said, "Well, because, Don" — he was Donald then, not Mr. President — "because these people don't just eat the tariffs. They just charge the people who buy the stuff, whatever it is. So we pay the tariffs."

And he, just like now, didn't hear what he didn't want to hear.

Pokud na to máte čas a žaludek, můžete v přímém přenosu ze Sněmovny vidět názorné potvrzení myšlenky Václava Havla: „Přirozenou nevýhodou demokracie je, že těm, kdo to s ní myslí poctivě, nesmírně svazuje ruce, zatímco těm, kteří ji neberou vážně, umožňuje téměř vše.“
A já bych k tomu dodal, že když vpustíte prase do paláce, nestane se z něj šlechtic. Ale z paláce se stane chlív.

#Czechia: RSF calls on MPs to firmly reject the bill to replace licence fees with decreased funding from the state budget, a major threat to the independence of the country’s public media. The draft law, hastily tabled today by the ruling majority, runs counter to the European Media Freedom Act, which is binding for all EU states.

Včera jsem měla jednání s rodiči holčičky, které se stala závažná nehoda na školním výletu. Holčička přežila a je doživotně těžce handicapovaná.
Zodpovědná je škola. Je to odsouzeno soudem. Náhrada škody ve výši desítek milionů. Škola pojištěna na 10 milionu.
Zbytek by měl platit zřizovatel školy. Nevelká obec, která na úhradu nemá ani zůstatek na účtech a když ji někdo na škodu náhodou půjčí, bude splácet mnoho let. Ale rodiče si tenhle osud dobrovolně nevybrali a k pochybení ve škole došlo.
A není to nic neobvyklého. Většinou školy nejsou pojištěny na větší částky, protože tyhle pojistky jsou velmi drahé.
Ale současně platí, že když se něco takového stane, je to objektivní odpovědnost podle zákoníku práce a takový úraz se považuje za něco jako “pracovní úraz”. Takže plnění je skoro téměř vždy jisté.

Tak já bych to hodila naši vládě @strakovka jako podnět, kterým by se měla zabývat.
Třeba by se také hodila školám nějaká dotace na pojistky nebo garanční fond na @msmtcr pro podobné případy.
Když tedy máme dost peněz na rozdávání a včera vláda schválila dotace pro VELKÉ zemědělské podniky, které budou moci od příštího roku získávat státní příspěvky na pojištění úrody a hospodářských zvířat. 🤷‍♀️
Pro nový program na ministerstvu zemědělství vláda vyčlení 200 milionů korun ročně.
Schváleno potichu.
Tak supeeeer.
A navíc nebude jisté, jestli se pak zemědělci tedy líp pojistí a pak nebudou chtít kompenzace za mráz nebo sucho, no a nebo se jim jen prostě sníží náklad na stávající pojistky. 😡

[Radu Hossu 🇹🇩🇺🇦 @RaduHossu]

Donald Trump has just posted on his own social media platform. He says Zelenskyy does not want peace and never has, because Europe keeps giving him money. He says he made the deal with Russia on diesel fuel because Russia wants to bring global prices down. At the beginning of his post, he justifies his decision. At the end, he says Ukraine has lost land territory, seas, and oceans.

This statement marks the (public) beginning of the United States' shift toward Russia. In other words, it is the public beginning of the US transitioning into an ally of Russia. Until now, all the other statements, political decisions, and scandals have either taken place behind closed doors or been publicly denied as being beneficial to Russia.

From now on, we will see a clear, openly acknowledged move toward closer relations with Russia. Trump needs to win a third term. Putin needs to win the war. Trump needs to achieve his objective to protect himself legally from everything that would follow if he lost power. Putin needs the war to continue, and preferably to win it, to physically protect himself from the death that would await him if he lost or if a just peace were reached.

Trump will not relinquish power democratically. Anyone who believes otherwise is naive. His third term could come through himself, Don Jr., or someone else in his family. Putin cannot allow the war to end because he would meet the same fate as Gaddafi.

Both are desperate, and both are being obstructed by two entities: Ukraine and the European Union. For those who have forgotten, let me remind you that Trump used to lecture us for buying Russian gas. Today, he is asking us to buy Russian gas. Trump used to accuse us of not paying enough for our own war. Today, he criticizes us for giving Ukraine money. Putin is bothered by European assistance because Europe is the last bastion of Western civilization still defending Western values. Europe, Canada, and the rest of the Coalition of the Willing, minus the United States.

The midterm elections are on November 3. Everyone is expecting a Democratic tsunami. I expect the Democrats to win the House of Representatives and the Senate to end up evenly split. But that will not change US foreign policy overnight.

Years from now, history will remind us that, starting in 2024, the United States took its first steps toward supporting the aggressor. And those who read about it, after having read, watched, or digitally experienced the horrors of Bucha, Borodyanka, Mariupol, Chernihiv, Izium, and so on, will wonder how we could all have been such idiots, how we continued to believe in the "Land of the Free, Home of the Brave" when the evidence was right in front of us, screaming in our faces.

At this moment, the United States has provided no financial aid for more than two years. Access to Starlink and StarShield is restricted. Military intelligence is provided intermittently. The ballistic missile early warning system is NOT functioning. The US has postponed the sanctions under the Graham law. The US has signed a diesel fuel deal with Russia. If it walks like betrayal and quacks like betrayal, then it is betrayal.

The European Union has an adversary in the United States, one it will soon recognize as such. Soon, when Russia does something that would have been unimaginable back in 2022 or 2023, something that will shatter confidence in NATO, Article 5, and the entire North Atlantic security architecture. It may already be too late for some Eastern European countries.

Or, in an alternative scenario, this Europe, plagued by internal divisions amplified by hundreds of thousands of Russian bots and coordinated through social media campaigns with the help of American algorithms, will manage to stay united. United for Ukraine and for its own security. In this scenario, Europe will accelerate the development of alternatives to Starlink, the F-35, American space technology, and anti-ballistic missile interceptors, and will punish social media platforms as they deserve. And then things will be much better. Romania must remain alongside the core of the European Union and positively influence this acceleration.

Ukraine is not doing badly on the battlefield. For example, Kostyantynivka was supposed to have fallen into Russian hands back in May. Chances are it will not fall before 2027, which would make the Russian conquest of Donbas impossible, considering the situation up until the summer of 2026, when the US was STILL not openly acting as Russia's partner.

If Ukraine loses the war, it will be because of the United States and because of Europe's slowness and failure to make firm decisions. And Ukraine's surrender would mean hell unleashed upon Eastern Europe and the European Union project as a whole.

Still, let us not overlook the fact that, in Trump's eyes, Ukraine once had one or more oceans. And somehow lost them.

🚨 BREAKING:

CNN reports that 75% of Americans say President Donald Trump should be impeached, tried, and imprisoned. https://t.co/AxWS4OkM1m

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

It is a basic principle of American democracy that the government can’t selectively target individuals simply because of their political beliefs or what they say. But that’s exactly what the Trump Administration is doing to Congresswoman Ilhan Omar of Minnesota.

To understand why this is so appalling, it’s important to know the facts. Congresswoman Omar came to this country with her father when she was 12 years old. Five years later, her father became a naturalized citizen. If Ilhan had been 18 at the time, she would have had to apply for citizenship separately. But because she was 17, she became a naturalized citizen automatically.

Congresswoman Omar went on to graduate from college, work as a community organizer, become the first Somali-American legislator elected to public office in the U.S., and win a seat in Congress. There, she has been one of the Trump Administration’s fiercest critics, which has led the president to repeatedly single her out as someone who he believes does not belong in this country.

Now the Administration is actively trying to deport Congresswoman Omar, seemingly based solely on the unsubstantiated theory that she was actually 18 when her father was naturalized, and therefore is not a citizen. Federal agents have raided her home, confiscated personal records, and seized her phone — all to try and uncover a nonexistent smoking gun from 20 years ago that will somehow make their case.

Think about that. The full weight of the federal government is being brought down on a law-abiding elected official because she has dared to criticize the president. And it’s not the first time this has happened. Under President Trump, the Justice Department has repeatedly gone after those he considers his political enemies — from the Attorney General of New York, to the former head of the FBI, to members of the Federal Reserve.

In those cases, the prosecutions either stalled or were dismissed for having no basis in law, and the same is likely to happen in this case. But not before Congresswoman Omar’s life has been turned upside down, her legal bills have piled up, and she’s been forced to spend time fighting unsubstantiated charges instead of serving the people of Minnesota.

The fact that any president, or any administration, is willing to engage in such transparent efforts to intimidate someone should outrage all Americans, regardless of how they feel about Congresswoman Omar’s political views. Because if this becomes the new normal, there’s no reason to believe it will stop with her — or that future presidents, in either party, won’t do the same.

[Nancy Pelosi @SpeakerPelosi]

On October 16, 2019, I told Donald Trump, “With you, Mr. President, all roads lead to Putin.”

On October 16, 2026, Trump signed an executive order waiving new sanctions on Russia passed by bipartisan majorities in Congress and signed into law just last month.

This decision insults America’s commitment to democracy and our brave men and women in uniform, as Russia helps Iran target American forces.

I join Republican senators in condemning this unconscionable capitulation to a Russian dictator who illegally invaded Ukraine and butchers innocent civilians.

As I have asked for years: What does Putin have on Trump that he would sell out America’s values?

A historic video – November 22, 1994:

The U.S. President thanks Ukraine for giving up its nuclear weapons. In return, the U.S. promises to stand by Ukraine’s side to safeguard its independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity well into the future.

That future has arrived—yet today, Trump and his circle act as if none of this ever happened.

Finally one billionaire with some balls.

[Peter Girnus 🦅 @gothburz]

I am a member of the Norwegian Nobel Committee.

There are five of us. Five people, appointed by a parliament most of the planet could not find on a map, who decide, once a year, which human being the world has agreed to call good.

I know. I know. I think about it on the tram.

We meet in a building on Henrik Ibsens gate, a street named after a man who wrote almost exclusively about people discovering they are frauds, which nobody on the committee finds funny except me. There is a room with a long table and the portraits of the dead laureates looking down, Mandela, the Dalai Lama, a great many earnest men in spectacles, and one portrait we do not discuss, which is Kissinger, 1973, awarded while the bombs were still falling, after which two of our predecessors resigned and the satirist Tom Lehrer said political satire was now obsolete. We keep him on the wall. A reminder. Every family has the uncle.

It is October in Oslo, which means the sun gives up around four in the afternoon like a civil servant, and it rains the particular Norwegian rain that isn’t quite falling, just hanging there, judging you. I arrive with wet shoes. I always arrive with wet shoes. There is coffee, because this is Norway and there is always coffee, we drink more of it per person than almost anyone alive, and someone’s wife has sent kanelboller, the cinnamon buns, and we sit, five Norwegians, damp, caffeinated, sugared, and we decide the moral standing of the entire species.

Let me tell you how it actually works, because the world imagines a cathedral and it is, I promise you, a book club with a mandate.

287 nominations this year. 208 people, 79 organizations. Anyone can nominate, that’s the secret nobody understands: a professor, a parliamentarian, a former laureate, so the “nominee” list is meaningless, it’s a suggestion box, and every autumn some congressman nominates his own golden retriever and the press writes “SHORTLISTED.” Nobody is shortlisted. There is no short list the public ever sees. There is us, and the coffee, and the rain, and the portraits, and a Norwegian stubbornness that is older than the prize itself.

We read reports. The institute’s advisers write them, thick dull documents, and we argue. Our chairman told the BBC once that in the final meeting “there is a high temperature.” High temperature, for a Norwegian, means someone slightly raised an eyebrow and then apologized for it. We don’t do high temperature. We do a long silence, and then Kristin says “well,” and everyone knows exactly what “well” meant, and it’s settled. That’s our shouting. “Well.” You’d have to be raised here to hear the violence in it.

Now. This year. I will not say the name, because we never say the name, but you know the name.

A certain head of state wanted this prize the way a child wants a thing in a shop window, which is to say loudly, and in public, and with the full belief that wanting it was itself the argument. He said he deserved it. He said he’d ended eight wars, a number that grew most times he said it, like a fish. He had other heads of state phone us. Israel’s prime minister posted it on the internet, “Give him the Nobel.” The leaders of Cambodia and Pakistan announced they’d nominated him, as though announcing it were part of it, as though we tally mentions. A man flew around the globe collecting endorsements for a Norwegian committee the way you’d collect signatures for a petition to the council about a noisy dog.

And here, uff da, is the detail I treasure, the one that makes me smile into my coffee. The nomination deadline is the 31st of January. He took office on the 20th. So for all the phone calls, all the posts, all the gilded lobbying, the only nominations that could possibly count for this year’s prize were filed in the first eleven days of his term, before he had, by his own arithmetic, ended a single one of the eight wars. He campaigned all year for a prize whose window had shut while he was still hanging up his coat. We didn’t have to reject him. The calendar did. We just watched. Norwegians are very good at watching. We have long winters.

People think we sit there weighing his deeds. We don’t. That’s the thing I can’t make the world understand. We’re not grading his homework. We don’t owe anyone the prize for a ceasefire, however real, however loud the announcement. “He made peace” is not a sentence that ends in a medal, the way he believes it does, the way he believes every good thing ends in his name on it. The will of a dead Swede says the prize goes to whoever did the most for fraternity between nations. A dead Swede, I should add, who made his entire fortune inventing dynamite and selling arms, and spent his last years horrified at his own obituary, which called him a merchant of death, and so bought his way to immortality as a man of peace. The whole prize is one guilty arms dealer’s attempt to launder his name. We are, all of us, administering a dead man’s public relations. I find this clarifying. It keeps me humble. It should keep everyone humble, and it keeps, by my count, no one humble at all.

So who did we give it to?

An eighty-five-year-old woman. A judge. Born in Durban, under apartheid, granddaughter of a Tamil man who came to South Africa as indentured labor, a bus driver’s daughter from the poor Indian quarter, who became the first non-white woman to run a law practice in her province, who defended Mandela’s people when defending them was dangerous, who sat on the Rwanda tribunal and the court at the Hague, and who, at eighty-five, is right now a judge weighing whether a genocide is a genocide. When we told the world, our chairman said the rule of law “underpins the system we have set up to ensure peace,” and that “peace requires justice.” She wasn’t even in Oslo. She was in Nuremberg. In courtroom 600. The actual room where they tried the Nazis. You cannot stage that. God staged that, and God, it turns out, is a better satirist than any of us.

She did not phone us. She did not post. No prime minister demanded it for her on the internet. She had, as far as our deliberations are concerned, the one qualification the loud man could never manufacture, which is that she wanted the work and not the medal. The medal finds those people. It flees the ones who chase it. This is not a rule we wrote. It’s just the only pattern the hundred-odd years of our mistakes has ever shown.

The reaction from across the ocean was immediate. His spokesman posted that we “place politics over peace.” Ja. Perhaps. We’re five damp pensioners in a rainy city; of course it’s political, it was always political, it was political when we gave it to a sitting American president nine months into his first term for the promise of things he had not yet done, and we have been quietly embarrassed about that one for fifteen years, so believe me, we had a particular reason this year to prefer a woman with fifty years of verdicts behind her over a man with eight wars in front of him and a deadline already behind him.

Here is what he will never understand, the thing I’d tell him on the tram if he ever took one. We are the one prize he cannot buy, cannot post his way to, cannot have a friendly dictator phone in for him. Not because we’re incorruptible, nei, we’re as vain and wrong and human as the portraits on our wall. But because the entire point of the thing, the only power a small cold country’s book club has ever held, is that it goes to the person not performing the wanting. The moment you demand it, you’ve proven you don’t understand what it’s for, and proving that is itself the disqualification. He ran the most expensive campaign in the history of the prize and the campaign was the reason. He was never losing to Navi Pillay. He was losing to the concept.

It’s dark now. Four o’clock dark. The buns are gone. Kristin said “well” an hour ago and we all went home. I’m on the tram with my wet shoes, and somewhere across the water a very powerful man is explaining to a camera that the prize is rigged, that we’re corrupt, that he’ll win it next year, and he genuinely might, we’re only five idiots and we’ve been wrong before, Kissinger is still on the wall.

But not this year. This year an old woman in Nuremberg, in the room where the law once stared down the exact kind of man who thinks wanting a thing loudly enough should make it his, got a phone call she didn’t ask for.

That’s the job. We don’t reward the man who ends the war and announces it.

We reward the woman who spent fifty years deciding what a war was.

He’ll never see the difference. That’s rather the whole point of him.

Takk for i dag. I have to change trams.

[Bill Clinton @BillClinton]

Václav Havel believed that truth was better than fear, freedom was worth fighting for, and Europe’s future belonged to everyone. He devoted his life to those convictions and helped change the course of history.
