Municipal elections 2022: Pirates choose a leader for Prague
According to the mushroom, he would like to continue the work started during this election period. “Prague deserves political continuity and stability due to the completion of the work begun. Despite the fact that we evaluate our election period as successful, it was not possible to complete all the projects we mentioned in three years, “he said. He added that he wants to continue, for example, planting trees, measures to combat climate change, the construction of urban housing and schools or the completion of the metro and other important transport structures.
Candidates
The current mayor will have four challengers in the primaries. “I offer the use of knowledge of the principles of agile management, organizational skills, financial literacy,” said the first of them Khan. Opletalová then stated that her goal is Prague without visible and invisible barriers. “A city that respects the human rights and dignity of its inhabitants, respects their diversity and the right to self-determination, supports them in participating in decision-making and enables individual well-being while maintaining social responsibility,” she said.
The third of the challengers, Brůžek, stated that after the last Prague municipal elections, Pirates had a number of successes, but they were not very visible. Our values have been “lost in translation” and shattered. We need to give Praguers a clear vision of the future of Prague and a concrete solution to their daily needs. We can rely on our values and experience of the city districts, ”he said. The Pole added that after sending the press release, the Pirates received another nomination, which Komrsková received.
The election is created online on a pirate forum. Those candidates who manage to get at least 46 votes in the forum poll will advance to it. The party is planning a debate on December 9, after which it will actually be a candidate.
