Czech parliamentary opposition visits Slovakia

Leaders of the future Czech opposition travelled to Slovakia on Thursday in response to last week’s Bratislava visit by Chamber of Deputies Speaker and SPD leader Tomio Okamura, which included only MPs from the incoming ANO, SPD and Motorists coalition.

The delegation – Marek Benda (ODS), Jan Jakob (TOP09), Michaela Šebelová (STAN) and Tom Phillip (KDU-ČSL), and Katerina Demetrashvili (Pirate Party) – is travelling independently to meet Slovak opposition parties, including Progressive Slovakia, Freedom and Solidarity, and the Christian Democratic Movement, news server iRozhlas.cz reports.

The opposition aims to demonstrate its commitment to strong Czech–Slovak relations and discuss broader bilateral issues.
