Green Party approves new draft party rules

The Green Party leadership on Thursday approved new draft rules of the party. Members of the Greens will have one month to discuss and modify the draft. The proposals will be discussed at the national congress of the party due to take place at the beginning of September. The party rules were proposed by a team around party leader Martin Bursík and they met with criticism from deputy chairwoman Dana Kuchtová, who wants to run for the post of party leader. Mrs Kuchtová argues that they concentrate power in the hands of the leadership at the expense of the national council and regional organisations.
