In a scathing video on the Xaver Live YouTube channel, Czech commentator Petr Holec celebrates Andrej Babiš's electoral victory over the "media liars," mocks former Prime Minister Petr Fiala as "Professor Nutella," and praises Foreign Minister Petr Macinka for disrespecting President Petr Pavel. This energetic installment, number 267, exposes fuel scandals, biased broadcasting, and populist rage – revealing why the media war in the Czech Republic signals a global resistance to elite manipulation.
In the thrilling world of Czech politics, where billionaires clash with bureaucrats and viral videos topple tyrants, the latest video by Petr Holec on YouTube (number 267, dated April 1, 2026) is a powder keg filled with sarcasm, schadenfreude, and unfiltered truths. In a live broadcast lasting over an hour, Holec – a outspoken right-wing radical – dissects the seismic shift that occurred after Andrej Babiš's ANO party returned to power at the end of the 2025 elections, ending four years of rule by the center-right coalition led by Petr Fiala. For viewers following this drama, it's a masterclass in populist revenge: Babiš "silenced the media liars," Macinka humiliated Pavel's inner circle, and "Professor Nutella" began his long-awaited "treatment" – public ridicule as therapy.
Holec's thesis is crystal clear and infectiously energetic: The outgoing Fiala "regime" was a circus of censorship, inflation, and media accomplices that squandered a million votes, while Babiš's coalition secured a majority in the elections. Now, with Babiš at the helm, it's time for retribution against the Prague "national media front" – the public broadcaster Czech Television (ČT), Seznam Zprávy, and Novinky.cz – which have spread lies for years.

The fireworks begin with a reminder of Fiala's "legendary" Nutella video, a viral fiasco in which the former prime minister, wearing glasses, films himself as "Inspector Clouseau" at Babiš's gas station, criticizing the "robbery prices." The reality is: the prices were average or lower. Holec erupts in laughter: "Petr Fiala is already at such a stage of madness... he goes to Andrej Babiš's gas station in Průhonice and finds out what? That Andrej Babiš is selling gasoline at a normal price!" Holec shows viewers a photo: Fiala at the gas station with a bread roll, a jar of Nutella, and a knife, with the sarcastic comment: "I'm missing ketchup there." ODS MP Martin Cvrček hit the nail on the head: "Let Fiala be silent... total Václav Klaus syndrome." Holec calls Fiala the "gravedigger" of the ODS party. He refers to Fiala's receding hairline and his transformation into Petr Fiala 3.0 – a visual metaphor for his political demise (a hard landing).

Fuel prices are grabbing attention and fueling both economic concerns and public outrage. Data from the EU, presented by economist Lukáš Kovanda, reveals that diesel prices in the Czech Republic jumped by 26% amid tensions in the Persian Gulf, overshadowing a 4% increase in Slovakia or a 1-2% rise in Croatia – a country described as "Czech-like in its exploitation." Distributors are to blame; Babiš's threat to limit margins overnight brought prices down on highways. Holec criticizes Fiala's legacy of 40% inflation: "50 Czech crowns today is not the same as 50 Czech crowns in 2022." Are these media fabrications? "Where are our media?" Parallels with Zelenskyy are drawn: Oil futures at $80 per barrel for 2027 signal the end of the war, as the US is cutting aid and Hungary is blocking EU loans due to disputes with Orbán. Holec mocks Zelenskyy's $14,000 salary: "Ah, that's why he's always on the move and traveling the world in those sweatpants..."

President Petr Pavel is also struggling. Holec revels in a frosty rebuke of Foreign Minister Petr Macinka: "The president's views are not relevant... Foreign policy is determined by the government." This "settling of scores" for Pavel's refusal to appoint Filip Turka follows a leaked recording of a conversation between Hungary and Russia, in which Foreign Minister Szijjártó criticizes Pavel's past: "Given his background, he has no right to criticize." Coalition legislative proposals limit Pavel's powers in the appointment of ambassadors, exposing the hypocrisy of experts: "If he doesn't appoint, he can't accredit."

Czech Television is becoming public enemy number one – a "breeding ground" for ideologues like Daniel Takáč ("the inquisitor"), Luboš Seda, "the weeping Václav the vole," Jan Moláček, and Tomáš Etzler ("the demon and the devil"). Holec urges its abolition: "If we shut down Czech Television, we would really help ourselves... we would save 7 billion crowns." A model for Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico? Rejecting awards for activists; privatizing "with your own money." Viral clips amplify this: Petr Pavel is ignored at gas stations "like a post in the fence"; a secret service agent longing for admiration in the silence.

Holc's stream is thriving thanks to its interactivity: Easter rhymes mock opposition "opportunists" in the stands. The format, without guests, pulsates with Holc's charisma – laughter at a parody of Fiala ("We are Petr Fiala... fighting for the Bible"). Further criticism targets "parasite" Kupka from STAN, the ODS's delusions about "white sneakers," and scandals involving Rakušan and radiation dosimeters. NATO? The Czech Republic meets the 2% GDP requirement, unlike the opposition. The EU Green Deal? "It's worse than the communists." Holec predicts the decline of mainstream media: "They will lose viewers... they will switch to us." Trust in the media is declining (the Czech Republic reflects global surveys at around 30%), elites are facing voter revolts (echoes of Trump), and accountability is paramount. Babiš's open letters reveal twists and turns – such as polite requests for flags, presented as "orders." "Let him continue... he exposes the Prague national media front for lying."
As Holec concludes, "Thank you for everything... Take care and be well." Episode No. 267 is not just a commentary; it's a rallying cry. In the unstable situation of 2026, the media in the Czech Republic warns: **"You've been lying for too long, and people will raise their own flags."** Watch it: Pure adrenaline for political enthusiasts.
