Oliver Adámek described the results of STAN in Prague as a triumph and wrote that the party strengthened in almost all city districts. He attributed this to the work of Petr Hlaváček and his team, as well as to the outcomes of promoting major projects. He considered STAN, Prague itself, and the Pirates to be the programmatically most suitable coalition at the magistrate. According to him, the disrupted relationships between Hlaváček and Adam Scheinherr from the campaign hindered it, and part of the leadership of Prague's STAN preferred cooperation with ODS. Adámek also pointed out the differences between STAN and SPOLU in transportation and housing: Hlaváček advocated for urban housing construction, parking restrictions, prioritization of public transport, and tolls in the city center, while the leader of SPOLU criticized the Prague development company and rejected the idea of the city building apartments. He concluded that without concessions from one of the parties, major agreements might not succeed again. He also described a coalition of STAN and SPOLU, extended by Prague itself or the Pirates, as possible but unlikely. He stated that the larger parties would have to give up seats they did not need, leading to an even more disparate grouping. He deemed SPOLU's result as decent, but also noted that the coalition weakened in most city districts and could lose mayors. According to him, the Pirates were losing everywhere, while Prague itself attracted liberal voters; he cited city districts Prague 1, 8, 6, and 10 as examples. #Praha #obecnívolby #politika (translated)
