He distinguished between an ultra-left variant made up of STAN, the Pirates, and Prague Together without ODS, and a left coalition of STAN with ODS without the Pirates; the former would mean a faster progress according to him, the latter just a quick one. #Praha #politika #vláda (translated)

To be honest, I actually don't know if it was a happy choice. Nationwide politics and parliament have, I’m not afraid to say, minimal influence on the municipal level. You need to have people on the ground there. When I look at the Christian Democrats, even though they are weak in parliament or at the national level, with about 2.5 percent, they are huge in the municipalities," commented the Minister of Culture Oto Klempíř on this strategy. "For us, it is important to build an organization on the ground, to ensure its functioning and connectivity. This is an important goal because municipal elections have often been considered second-tier elections. However, I believe that this has changed and that municipalities are setting a very, very, very prestigious bar with their importance," Klempíř added. #volby #Praha #Motoristé (translated)

Roman Maca wrote that in Prague, where he believes the biggest problem is expensive and inaccessible housing, people cannot expect a different outcome if they first put a person at the forefront who acquires apartments from developers at low prices, and then replace him with someone who, in his opinion, operates in the housing sector in the same way. https://t.co/VdukUNakR2 #bydlení #Praha #politika (translated)
