Sobotka: Social Democrats will negotiate with everyone, but Bém’s people have to go

For his part, the Social Democrat leader Bohuslav Sobotka said Monday that his party would not be looking to form municipal coalitions along specific party lines, but that the Prague government must change, and everyone who worked with outgoing mayor Pavel Bém “must go”. Mr Sobotka said his party’s priority in municipal negotiations would be to implement its programme as much as possible while making sure the changes their voters were calling for are addressed.
