Jurečka elected head of Christian Democrat’s parliamentary group

Former Christian Democratic Party leader Marian Jurečka has been elected head of the party’s parliamentary group. Alongside Jurečka, party lawmakers also elected deputy heads of the caucus on Tuesday. They will be outgoing parliamentary group leader Tom Philipp and newly elected party vice-chair Benjamin Činčila.

Jurečka said the party wanted to be a strong and constructive opposition force in the lower house, capable of recognizing truly important issues and responding to them.
