Head of Social Democrat’s PR dept resigns

The head of the Social Democrats PR department Petr Dimun has resigned, following criticism of his work in the wake of the party’s election debacle. Mr. Dimun’s resignation follows that of Jaroslav Tvrdý, the party’s election manager. Although the party won the highest number of votes in May’s general elections it did not do as well as it had hoped and was sidelined from the post-election negotiations by the lack of a potential coalition partner.
