Kuba’s movement aims to rise above traditional divides and move Czechia forward

A new political movement led by South Bohemian governor Martin Kuba says it wants to rise above the traditional clash between conservative and liberal politics and focus on moving Czechia forward. Kuba unveiled the name and logo of the movement, called Naše Česko (Our Czechia), in Prague, saying it would operate nationwide after registration and target the next parliamentary elections.

Kuba, who left the Civic Democrats (ODS) last year after more than two decades, said the movement would be centre-right, support Czechia’s anchoring in Euro-Atlantic structures and stress national self-confidence. He rejected speculation about cooperation with the ANO movement led by Andrej Babiš, saying his goal was to govern independently rather than as a junior coalition partner.
