Lower house to resume debate on Sudeten German congress, opposition to boycott session

The Chamber of Deputies will resume debate this afternoon on its position regarding the congress of the Sudeten German association, which is set to take place in Brno next week. The opposition disagrees with the initiative of the governing camp, with its leaders calling it a disgrace that does not contribute to reconciliation. Opposition MPs will boycott today’s extraordinary session in protest.

In a proposed resolution on the Sudeten German congress, the ANO, SPD and Motorists coalition wants the lower house to express its disagreement with holding the event in Czechia. According to the proposal, the Chamber of Deputies should also call on the organisers to cancel the gathering.

Sudeten German leader Bernd Posselt and David Macek from the co-organising group Meeting Brno have stressed that the event will definitely take place in Brno from 22 to 25 May.
