Prague city councillor and the ANO movement's until-now candidate for mayor, Ondřej Prokop, announced on Thursday, June 25, that he is stepping down from all his political positions and will not run in the autumn municipal elections. His case is now being examined by an office investigating whether he violated the law when declaring his assets. respekt.cz ↗
Prokop justified his decision by citing media pressure on himself and those around him. The case concerns three cooperative apartments that he failed to list in his mandatory asset declaration. In the days before his resignation, he spent several days explaining his financial situation, describing the apartment purchases as legal and stating that he was prepared to pay a fine for the error in his asset declaration. seznamzpravy.cz ↗
According to published information, in addition to the three disputed cooperative apartments, he also owns other properties, including a family house, a total of six apartments, and a garage. Before announcing the end of his political positions, he excused himself from a debate and subsequently stopped answering further questions about his assets. seznamzpravy.cz ↗
The case had political consequences even before Prokop's resignation. Prague city councillors removed him from the supervisory board of the Prague Public Transit Company (Dopravní podnik hlavního města Prahy), on a proposal by Deputy Mayor Jaromír Beránek of the Pirates. Prokop claimed at the time that he had refuted the doubts and linked the move to political revenge by the Pirates. denik.cz ↗
The ANO movement now has to look for a new leader for its candidate list in Prague. Among the names mentioned was MP Monika Rázga, while Patrik Nacher, according to available information, has no ambition to lead the list in place of Prokop. idnes.cz ↗
