Prague reins of the opposition, the ODS wants to stop five hundreds during the elections
The opposition thus reacted to the fact that during the weekend elections to the Chamber of Deputies in Prague, co-ruling Prague Sob (PS), it set up five petitions in front of the polling stations and collected signatures for a petition that can stand in municipal elections for a year. The proposal was supported by more than 45 out of 65 deputies who instructed the council to prepare a proposal.
The ODS was joined by YES and also by a senior koalin representative, including Jan Wolf (KDU-SL / United for Prague) and Ji Pospil (TOP 09), MEP and Chairman of the United Forces for Prague. PS chairman Jan iinsk rejected the criticism and called the ODS proposal undemocratic. According to him, the same procedure is in municipalities.
Nephrov, immoral, behind the edge, marked by the opposition
The ODS wants the electoral bill to be supplemented by a provision that clearly states that, even at the time of the election, it will not be able to campaign or submit any campaign before the polls.
We consider something like this to be unfair and unequal. Therefore, it should be clear whether such a thing is possible. We think that there should be real law that means something like this. Equality of political competition is a fate, said opposition representative Zdenk Zajek (ODS).

Opposition representative Ondej Prokop (YES) joined him. What happened during the election, I think immorally and completely behind the edge, he said. ODS chairman Tom Portlk said the PS had broken all conceivable rules.
The chairman of PS iinsk rejected the criticism. According to him, the proposal will include basic human rights and freedoms, and I should limit one-fifth of the first. I am not surprised by the support from the YES movement, but we are probably surprised by the subject, which is in the habit of calling them Democrats. It is full that civic activities are connected with the elections, he said.

They did not break the people who collected the signatures. We do not know whether the law has been violated, but we have the ethical level of things, Prokop objected.
MEP and Deputy Pospil disagreed with Iinski. Among other things, it is common sense for me that when someone promotes their party and puts it under the fifth leg, it is not in the horseshoe, he said. According to his opinion, Iinski’s argument about the fifth unrest and on the weekend was about political agitation.
Councilor Hana Kordov Marvanov (for STAN) said that the bill would pay for the voters to have peace of mind and be able to get freely and without pressure. The PS called the move a nefr political contest. According to them, it is not clear at the same time that the PS procedure was not illegal.
In the last municipal elections, Prague Sob put together a civic candidate. To do this, she needed to collect about 100 thousand signatures. Prague Reindeer will enter Prague together with Pirty and the United Forces for Prague.
