Bursik considering return to politics

The former leader of the Green Party Martin Bursík is considering a return to politics. He told Prima television on Sunday that at the Green Party’s urging he may run in the spring general elections next year. Bursík resigned as party leader in the wake of the party’s dismal showing in elections to the European Parliament in June of this year. Since then the party has been led by former education minister Ondřej Liška. Many consider him less charismatic than his predecessor and the party’s popularity ratings remain low.
