The mayor of the village in Mlnick must remain a resident of the village, even if he did not run for office
I don’t remember seeing the fire station of the armory full of citizens watching the council in Elzch on Mlnick for years. The people of Natvan came to the constituent assembly to hear what will happen to the municipality after a completely unique situation arose here after the municipal elections.
The representative moved on Friday evening only to make the obligatory promise, but they could not elect a new mayor and mayor. As the only one in the Esk Republic. The current mayor, Milan Zajek, will also remain in the election, paradoxically because he did not run for office at all. Mayors Jana Brandelov and Zdenk Volajer will also continue in their functions.
If municipal elections were held in Elz at the end of the day, the newly elected representative cannot choose the new mayor. Before the elections, only six single-member candidates were nominated in the village with a seven-member council. In addition, two of the candidates, Radek Jelnek and the current mayor Jana Brandelov, changed their mind and resigned in the week before the elections.
New elections in January
In the village, the people elected only those representatives, and the council is defunct by law. Changed representatives can hold meetings, but they cannot approve a new investment event and they cannot even elect a new leader of the municipality.
What about legislationAccording to the Act on Municipalities, if the number of municipal councils decreases by no more than half, the municipality falls under the 5 of the rules of the provisional budget. Only the local council cannot elect a new mayor and mayor. As a result of this in my practice, many municipalities will continue to have mayors with city mayors from the 2018 2022 election period, or they are obliged to exercise their powers according to the Act on Municipalities until a new mayor and city mayor are elected, Hana Mal of the Ministry explained TO DNES. The fact that these persons did not win a mandate in the elections does not affect this duty, Mal points out. Even in this rear composition, the council is, according to the constitution, the highest organ of the municipality, its meetings are held and resolutions can be adopted, but the decision-making authority is limited. According to the statute, the municipal manager takes office only if the current representative resigns or does not run for office. |
For that reason, I will continue as mayor until the by-elections, added Zajek. It’s the same as after classic elections, when the original mayor and mayors have to go to the village and to the day of the constituent assembly, and then collect a salary.
New elections to the municipal council have been called for January 7, 2023, MF DNES spoke to the Ministry of the Interior, Hana Mal. Residents who attended the first meeting of the village criticized both candidates, who resigned before the elections and put the village in a completely unique situation. It was for personal reasons, and I won’t go into them, answered the mayor of Brandelov, Vera.
Criticism of the public
I apologize to the people who drank too much for the election. I will not run again, added Brandelov. The other candidate, Radek Jelnek, stated that his resignation just before the elections was a reaction to the situation, since only six single-member candidates were nominated for the seven-member council. According to him, this would create a stalemate in the new council with two groups after those mandates.
I don’t want to say that we wouldn’t agree on it, but it would have been very difficult all these years. We probably wouldn’t even elect a mayor, it would all be for him anyway, said Jelnek, who, according to his own words, believes that the next election in January will be one of the most interesting in the history of the village. Thanks to this, we will select all seven deputies and he will certainly be selected from among them, added Jelnek.
But the public did not agree with his decision. Resigning like this at the last moment is like a piece of cake for me, even in the electorate, declared one of the descendants, a resident of Elz. It is also a mistake according to newly elected representative Miroslav Steinz. We could at least try to work in the courtroom of eight representatives, but it seems to me like a trap from you, he said. We will be sorry when we do not become a precedent for others, how to send the village quickly to new elections, when there are competitive candidates, Steinz added.
