Hello Mrs. Šafaříková,
first I want to thank you for this participatory approach 👏
Then I want to ask if there is no harm in the media that the voice of the Green party is not represented more in the discussions, why parties like Motorists, Přísaha, Socdem or slowly even the People’s Party, which have a similar potential as the Greens, are invited. Since we are no longer there, please ask a question about how the parties want to solve the climate crisis. Whether they perceive it as a crisis at all, whether it is a topic for them or just so-called green propaganda.
Thank you and best regards,
Honza Janoušek

Hello, could you please describe the operation of the ODS in the ECR faction? What kind of association is this? I understood the alliance with the British Tories, but they are gone and I read that this faction could be strengthened and Orbán, Kaczynski, Zemmour, Meloni could be reunited in it. Are they fascists? Or what kind of association is this?

Hello, in which political faction in the EP will the STAN movement end up? Yesterday I saw a photo of Danuš with Manfred Weber, is the liberal STAN really heading to the conservative EPP? So Danuše will be side by side with Zdechovský?

Stanislav Redl Polčák
Hello, I would like to ask about the migration pact, which can decide the EP elections in our country. At first, the Austrian presented it as an alleged success of our presidency, but after the trialogue he held back in the Council of Ministers. Why? Now that it was voted in the EP, the Austrian and Fiala say that this is great news, but the MEPs of the governing parties were mostly against it. Why? What is this 5coalition communication? So in the House of Representatives, under pressure from Babiš, Fiala and Rakušan will say how excellent the agreement is, and in televised debates Vondra, Zdechovský and Kolaja will acquiesce to Dostálové, how bad is it? Does the 5 coalition mean this?

Hello, I assume that the EPP-SD-RE coalition (Weimar triangle Tusk-Scholz-Macron) will continue. What sense does the TOGETHER coalition make at that moment, when part will be in favor and vote for Von der Leyen in the leadership of the EC, while part will be against it? It probably wouldn’t run TOGETHER for the House of Representatives, so that subsequently the ODS government and the ANO movement. Do you understand that? What are votes for TOGETHER for? For the continuation of the current majority or for a change?

3. I would also like to know if the MEPs are aware of the fact that there are articles in our Constitution that should prevent the destruction of democracy and that these are violated by transferring the decision-making powers of the Parliament to a directive, unelected body, which degrades the votes given to MPs, thereby is this vote degraded together with the performance of the MPs’ mandate?
(Not only the right of veto, but all the tens of thousands of regulations, regulations, etc. that we “must” accept according to the accession agreement and its constant tightening ex post by subsequent resolutions to the detriment of the sovereignty of the EU states.)
If we have signed a treaty on accession to the EU and its implementation is in conflict with the Constitution, can it be considered invalid?

Good evening….Do you think there is any issue that will decide the election? Who will people vote for? My family and I always argue the most about the Green Deal…

Hello, I’m wondering why no one has a problem with the way the ODS and in particular Alexandr Vondra are kicking for the mother of his son to get back to the warm seat in Brussels – all the maneuvers on the Spolu candidate are obviously for her sake, to make her invisible to anyone he didn’t jump. It strikes me as nepotism of the first category. What is the reason that I am the only one who is bothered by this? 😁 Do you also think this is okay?

He asks:
Václav Voracek
Good day Mrs. Safaříková, from the candidates Spolu, especially the ODS, we hear requests to assign a strong portfolio to the future Czech commissioner, especially energy or economic. Do you think that this request of a Eurosceptic and anti-euro government, which is also a member of the troubled V4, has any rational basis? Thank you for answer.

1. So I wonder why we should be mad about it?
2. I would be interested in how the persuasion of MPs who hold domestic political positions, and then vote the opposite way in the EU Parliament, takes place. I am interested in the mechanism, the means that are chosen for such a change of attitudes.

How would you vote here in Belgium please? We’re here and we’re not going home. We are registered with the commune, but I am interested in your opinion. I’m a bird with more people, but everyone likes it differently. Thank you!

Petr P.
Good day.
Thank you for your work so far.
I would be interested in the position of Eurosceptics in the European elections. I always wonder why someone wants to be elected to the European Parliament, only to try to dismantle it from within? What can people like Mr. David realistically aspire to? How do other factions work with them? Do you think that the position of Eurosceptics will strengthen from June?

Good day, I would like to ask how to view the cases of EK President Leyenová (vaccines, the affair surrounding the selection with Mr. Dlabajová). Can these cases jeopardize her second mandate? Alternatively, do you think it is possible that someone other than a nominee close to the EPP can be the President of the Commission? Thank you.

Good day. I would be interested in how you perceive Czech MEPs. Are they just going there to spend a lot of money, or are there also those who are really trying to change the EU for the better?

Hello, I want to ask the following: how will those who are elected for Together be included in the factions in the European Parliament? Will individual MPs go to different factions, although they were elected for one grouping?
