Prague without criminally prosecuted councilors? Together he rejects the terms of the Pirates, you don’t want to be a rogue
Monday’s early evening meeting began negotiations in Prague between the two main actors of the planned coalition – the Pirates and the Together group. On it, the parties imagined the positions with which they enter the negotiations and what they expect from them.
Together, it would like a coalition on the current government plan, i.e. with Pirates and Mayors. “We came to this meeting without protective conditions. Purely with the fact that we are willing to act on the basis of the existing government coalition,” said Spolu leader and mayoral candidate Bohuslav Svoboda (ODS) after the meeting.
The pirates enter the debate by saying that they would like to reach the newly emerging coalition, on the other hand, they also took Prague under the leadership of Jan Čižínský.
“We want to continue the established development of the city and for this purpose, the coalition is negotiated not only on the ground of the central government, but also with the inclusion of Prague itself. We want honest and competent people to sit on the council who will have Prague full-time,” mayor Zdeněk Hřib summed up the position of the Pirates.
So far, the first negotiations have not led to mutual satisfaction. “The other side has set a number of conditions that are very complex. They are formulated in such a way that the Pirate Party should consider whether these have a realistic outcome or realistic conditions,” commented Svoboda after the meeting.
Conditions over which the train does not run
According to Hřiba, most of the negotiations revolved around pirate conditions, so that prosecuted or convicted politicians would not sit in line. This is also confirmed by one of the Pirates’ negotiators, Daniel Mazur. “It is unacceptable for Spolu. They argued that even the person prosecuted has a lot of voters and mandates behind him,” he adds.
Mark Benda, a member of the negotiating team for the Spolu coalition, says again that there was no negotiation
