Rakušan: Mayors and Independents have no plans to leave the government

Some Pirate Party members say that if the Pirate Party decides to leave the Fiala government, the Mayors and Independents with whom they were in a coalition when they entered the government, should go with them. Such a step would mean that the Fiala administration would no longer have a majority in the Chamber of Deputies.

The leader of the Mayors and Independents, Interior Minister Vít Rakušan has indicated that he is not prepared to take such a step. He said he would like to see both the Pirates and the Mayors and Independent remain in the government, adding that “quitting was not the way to winning voter support”. Rakušan said that, having made the decision to dismiss Bartoš,  it was now up to the prime minister to ensure the stability of the government.
