They already divide functions in South Moravia, Lukl wants to be a link to Prague
The dynamism and vigor with which the People’s Leader in the campaign held the slogan “Grolich is different” was also seen during the weekend.
A quick agreement on Saturday, a meeting on specific responsibilities on Sunday at night, and today he is to reveal the composition of “his” council. And the future governor doesn’t want him to stay. It is going to make big changes, the outcome should be a different, more dominant region.
He accuses the current leadership, led by the ANO movement, of stagnating South Moravia over the last four years. “It’s not a big topic, so there’s nothing to talk about. I praise that the purchase of trains has arrived, but otherwise nothing new has happened here. We have been talking about the airport for twenty years, similarly to MotoGP, “he said Jan Grolich.
He sees health care reform as one of his priorities, especially the interconnectedness of the hospital. “We will also set new money for social services, which need to be brought back to our feet,” offers another topic, Grolich, which also demands the environment. Specifically, it wants to at least double the current “injection” of ten million crowns to fight the drought.
At the same time, the people at the region do not want to take any of these areas under them. And they don’t intend to reach for billions in power departments, such as transportation or investment property.
“Everyone sees power in something different. We consider, for example, one of the strongest regional developments, there are subsidies for water retention in the landscape, “he explained, adding that KDU-ČSL also strives for culture and sports.
Transport and education for the ODS
In the end, the ODS will probably fall under the most prestigious responsibilities. “We will not back down from the fact that transport must be a priority. It is necessary to have a repair plan not only for the next four years, but for a longer period. After all, the last road strategy dates from 2008. We have to keep the amount of transport expenditures despite the decrease in budget revenues, otherwise we would have a lot of deadlines in a few years, “repeated the leader of the Civic Democrats and future deputy Jiří Nantl.

The second major topic for him in the campaign was education, science and research – and this is the area he could address personally. “We must have a good infrastructure and a good education, otherwise the region will lag behind in the long run,” said the current head of the Ceitec scientific institute.
In the social field, which Jana Leitnerová from Pirates is to take on, the governor intends to support home care and field services much more. “We’ll go where and what the money is going to, because I don’t believe it was controlled in any way,” she said.
He bowed with a connection between Brno and Prague
The mayors, specifically the current deputy, Martin Maleček, will continue to be responsible for spatial planning. But we can also play an important role in their leader, František Lukl, in another way. As chairman of the Union of Towns and Municipalities, the former Minister for Regional Development in Rusnok’s government has a number of contacts in Prague.

Many times he was able to press the government to listen to the demands of local governments. For example, as the “first mayor”, he recently forced her to send a compensatory bonus to municipalities for taking money from self-employed people who had provided anti-coronavirus measures.
“We debated the liaison officer between Brno and Prague. I am happy to take on this role, “said MF DNES Lukl.
It was he in the campaign who most loudly emphasized the topic of a badly damaged system of tax distribution from the state – South Moravia receives less per capita than other regions. Enforcing a fair settlement is now his main task.
But negotiations with the government of Andrej Babiš may not be easy. Especially when he forms a coalition – similarly to two years ago after the municipal elections in Brno – his victorious movement YES stumbled.
“And what was the significance of being in the leadership of the region? Even the financing of social services, which she was in charge of the CSSD in the region for eight years, did not help the social democratic ministry. I don’t think it could be worse, “Grolich is not afraid of obstacles.
And he wants to focus on better “marketing”. Not only according to him, the ending governor Bohumil Šimek (YES) is considered invisible. “We will introduce a video newsletter, but not only for me, but also for other councilors. I also want to give space to the opposition so that it is a fair presentation of the region, “he said.
ODS and STAN join clubsEight groups have joined the council, but there will be one less clubs – the mayors for South Moravia and the ODS have joined forces, together holding 16 seats. “As a result, we are the strongest in the council. We are close in terms of program and humanity and we cooperate at the level of mayors, “explained the connection between people František Lukl and Jiří Nantl. The chairman of the embassy club will be the mayor of Blansko Jiří Crha (ODS) and the mayor of Kuřim Drago Sukalovský (STAN). |
