Regional chairman of TOP 09 in the South Moravian Region Marek Sovka is leaving the party and joining KDU-ČSL. Roughly twenty to thirty other members of the South Moravian organization are expected to leave along with him. idnes.cz ↗
Part of TOP 09's membership will head to the party led by Jan Grolich. He is also the governor of the South Moravian Region and a newly elected senator. Among those leaving are also several prominent regional politicians, including the former mayor of Branišovice and deputy to the regional governor, Sovka. zpravy.aktualne.cz ↗
TOP 09 chairman Matěj Ondřej Havel described the departure as a coordinated action by Jan Grolich. According to Havel, Grolich is also luring members of other parties and weakening the opposition groups' effort to cooperate against the ANO movement. Havel stated that the transfer of South Moravian politicians to the Christian Democrats is not in line with the search for broader opposition cooperation. irozhlas.cz ↗
The scale of the departure varies across individual statements. While some reports speak of two dozen members, according to others roughly thirty people are set to leave TOP 09. The event concerns primarily the South Moravian regional organization. idnes.cz ↗
Further developments will depend on whether members from other regions also join the departure and how the TOP 09 leadership responds to the change. The transfer of part of the South Moravian politicians could affect relations among opposition parties ahead of further political negotiations.
