Martin Bursík will remain party leader

The leadership of the Green Party has confirmed party leader Martin Bursík’s mandate in the wake of calls for him to resign. Mr. Bursík came under fire from the Olomouc party branch for what they described as his authoritative style of leadership and poor communication within the party. He was also asked to explain a vulgar message that he accidentally sent one of the party members. After a stormy debate regional leaders concluded that while some of the criticism was justified it would be a mistake to recall Martin Bursík from the head of the party. The party leadership also criticized the fact that some party members were using the media to resolve personal conflicts, thus tarnishing the image of the Green party for their own ends.
