Olga Zubová to resign over Green Party’s election defeat

Olga Zubová, head of the Green Party’s National Council, has announced her decision to resign in connection with the party’s humiliating defeat in October’s regional and Senate elections. The party suffered a whitewash in both elections, which party leader Martin Bursík attributed to the fact they became a contest between the country’s two largest parties. Olga Zubová who is perceived as a party rebel and is a strong critic of Mr. Bursík, said she wanted to set a good example and hoped that other leaders of the coalition government would accept their share of the blame.
