Nobility: I’m also thinking about running for president. And thank you Pohořelice
After the election, you said that you want to rest after a demanding campaign, has it already happened?
I rested. I was in the first debate with people on Thursday. Two or three days were enough for me to rest. The end of the campaign was very sharp and time consuming. I graduated for the first time. For the past fortnight, there has been some debate almost daily, especially with the superlisters. This also required preparation for them.
Debates with experienced politicians have been new to you. Do you consider yourself a great experience in the future?
It was a great experience. Two I was aimed in one direction. For thirty years I have been dealing with security, justice, crisis management, state protection, corruption, clientelism. Now I am a leader, so I had to study in other areas all summer. The debates are not about one topic, but about education, economics, the Green Deal and others. Of course, the main thing that was discussed was the covid.
Will you still be interested in national events, even if you are not in the Chamber?
We plan it with everything. I intend to draw attention to this in debates between citizens. I always looked at what people promised and what they fulfilled. According to that, the man was trustworthy for me. We have been told many times that, according to some journalists and political scientists, our program is not an agent. But you built it so that we could help people and solve their problem at that moment. We will therefore point out what the politicians said and how they turned it into a job for the people.
The oath won 4.68 percent of the vote. How do you evaluate the result over time?
As a great success since we founded it in January. When the first articles were published at the end of January, political scientists said that we would get half a percent, that it was a task for the Šlachta suicide, that the rhetoric about corruption had long since faded. Public affairs, YES, Pirates, they all came up with a solution to corruption, people no longer hear about it, they let them down. But suppose we have 4.68 percent, 251,000 voters. It’s a very big commitment. Great success. Of course, if we get into the House, we can be much more out of opposition.
Do you even feel disappointed that you didn’t get close?
We were very close, but it’s still amazing. The STEM / MARK agency played a lot with us, when its pre-election survey gave us 2.2 percent three weeks before the election. At the time, it was terrible to feel that people were thinking hard about whether to vote so that their voice would not fail. It was a crazy pigsty. A week before the election, they gave us 5.7 percent. It’s something absolutely terrible about playing with agency people.
Did you miss familiar faces?
Certainly. It would be better to have them. But we didn’t want any recycled policies that have been paying the same thing around here for twenty years. Unfortunately, people have chosen the same ones again, but it’s up to them.
So which path did you choose?
The path of people who have something behind them in practical life. Thank God someone else wants to enter politics. Even at a time when politicians are swearing, it’s not funny to persuade someone. I’m glad they went for it. They have not been as agile in the debate as the politicians who have been paying for twenty years, but I have to choose the voter whom he wants.
What new experiences have the campaign and elections given you?
Relationship with people, behind the scenes of politics, debates. I don’t regret the minutes or seconds that I stepped in. It took me a year to live, but it gave me a great view and overview.
For the election, the Oath will receive around sixty million crowns, what will you use it for?
First of all, we have to repay our liabilities. Invoices are gradually coming to us. The money will be used to maintain an office in the regions and also a team. It must all be about analysis, monitoring events, preparing posts on social networks, going out among people, contact campaigns. We will see what we are giving money for. We will not be the ones to close themselves and build barracks for them. For example, in Prague our office is very expensive, we are looking for cheaper to save and put money on professional things.
You scored the most in the south of Moravia. Did you have a set limit for success?
He didn’t, but I’m terribly happy. South Moravia was absolutely amazing in this, it supported me. Many thanks to all the voters who voted for the Oath. Pohořelice and its surroundings all the more. I feel great humility, contentment, thank you. Getting from here to scratch is something amazing, but also a very big commitment. I’m afraid I would be disappointed, because I was quite waiting before.
You won in Pohořelice, is it a commitment for you to the municipal elections in a year?
This is the debate we will have. These days, we are talking with people from the South Moravian Region about which cities we will build candidates for, where we have candidates. It is not clear at all yet. Given the result, it would be wrong not to take over. But if it’s me or someone else, I leave it open for now. It’s pretty early.
Can you imagine yourself as mayor?
I can’t answer that. I didn’t even count, he had no idea that the result would be so positive for me. The campaign was built on me nationwide, it was such a referendum about me, about our movement. The result is clear. Now it is important that we bring people and faces into the movement much more, to stand for more people, especially in the Senate elections, which are mainly about personalities.
What are your other plans if you are not in the House?
Oath, Oath and Oath. Ride among the people. Track and suggest things under oath. It is very important to me that the Oath be grounded. Someone must always be the engine and here it is the Nobility. Suppresses the Oath on.
What about you and a possible presidential candidate? Is he in the game?
We’re thinking about it. We will either want to build our own candidate or support someone. But this is only the beginning, because the elections are in 2023. We will talk about it, but in what way, who will be, he still gave time.
