Press release - 27. 5. 2017
The National Congress of the KDU-CSL in Prague has approved a coalition agreement for elections to the Chamber of Deputies in 2017 between the KDU-ČSL and the STAN movement.
"The coalition with STAN makes sense. The very first surveys have shown us that the coalition can receive up to two and a half times more voters than the current sum of both sides individually. A larger number of mandates may prevent the emergence of a power monopoly of the protest movement, as well as the entry of extremists into the government. I believe that together we can do more. That we can win together. Thank you for this brave decision, "said Pavel Bělobrádek, chairman of the KDU-ČSL.
The coalition agreement was approved by 228 votes out of 269, 10 votes were null.
