The post of my Facebook friend Radim Hrbáč made me think and write this article, from whom I also borrowed the title of the article. In my reflection on the merits of the question "are we still afraid of nuclear war?" look from a different point of view. Who and why is "getting used" to nuclear war and war in general?

This is my last piece dedicated to the Senate elections. In the first part, I made an overview in which the Senate has an irreplaceable role in our constitutional arrangement, by which I wanted to show that abolishing it will not be so easy not only because "the carp do not drain the pond", but also because in our constitutional arrangement it would mean a very extensive revision of the Constitution, which would require lots and lots of votes, which are simply not available, because you, the citizens, ignore the elections to the Senate, as well as to the House of Representatives.

In the next installments, we will look at well-known, prominent candidates who are vying for the favor of voters. Who are those who repeatedly fight for your favor and will try to defend their mandate?
Read full textSenate elections will take place in the Czech Republic on October 9 and 10, 2026. These are 27 constituencies where the mandate of senators elected in 2020 ends. 153 candidates will fight for 27 seats, which is less than in the last senate elections, because the current opposition has agreed on jointly supported candidates. Just for comparison, in the last senate elections, 235 candidates competed for the favor of the voters.
