The Brno coalition will be assembled next week
“We are looking for matches in our programs. Of course, we are trying to find one in order to fulfill our own election program as much as possible (note – ODS). But there are not only two possible solutions in the game, there are more,” she said. But they all suggest that she will remain mayor.
At the same time, Vaňková admitted that it could theoretically happen that other parties would bypass the ODS.
Only the SPD block is out of play
Brno is now led by the old coalition of four: ODS, KDU-ČSL, ČSSD and Pirátů. If it were to continue, it would expand by two more groups. The ODS went to the municipal elections in a coalition with TOP 09 and the People’s Party with STAN. This coalition of six would have 33 of the 55 seats.
There was also speculation about new cooperation between the ODS bloc and TOP 09 with ANO with a total of 29 mandates.
But Vaňková also wants to negotiate with the Zelení a Žít Brno grouping, which has three mandates. negotiations could also be a grand coalition, in which only members of the SPD group, with which the Moravians, Tricolor and Independent candidates went to the elections, will meet. It has a total of six mandates.
They agreed on a coalition in Zlín, Korec will be the mayor again
Homemade
The former Brno mayor Petr Vokřál (then ANO, now non-partisan) won the last election with the ANO movement.
Nevertheless, he was supposed to make a coalition afterwards, in a few hours the other parties joined together behind his back, formed a coalition of four and thus sent ANO into the opposition. Vaňková admitted that this could also happen, which she said would be very regrettable in view of the numerous votes given to the ODS.
Fial explains everything
The mayor continuously informs the prime minister and the chairman of the ODS, Petr Fiala, about the results of the negotiations.
He prefers a coalition copying the government coalition, however, Vaňková points out that everything is “about finding ways”, that is, about practical cooperation in the future coalition, so that it is as beneficial as possible for Brno. She emphasized that she would explain in detail to Fiala how she decided to compose it.
By the end of this week, he will again negotiate with representatives of all parties except the SPD bloc. On Sunday, representatives of the Brno ODS will meet with partners from the Brno TOP 09.
On Monday, Vaňková will announce further steps. The main point of discussion is the Brno spatial plan, while representatives of the ODS and TOP 09 are also negotiating with the People’s Party on social issues.
