PRAGUE The epidemiological situation in Prague has deteriorated due to the candidacy for governor of the Moravian-Silesian Region, who should go to the capital on Thursday for a debate on Czech television. In addition to the current governor, the letter for T was signed by seven other leaders of the big parties.
Captain Ivo Vondrk (YES) wants to move the debate from the capital to the Ostrava studio of T. The Prague traffic light of the Ministry of Health has fallen into a red color.
We consider it really problematic to have to travel for long hours to Prague and back at a time when Prague is first a high-risk city of covid-19 and when it is very limited, the party candidates in a joint letter to the deputy editor-in-chief of Czech television news, Frantisek Lutonsky.
We gave all the people to the regional elections in MSK T24 in order to meet them and organize the debate in the studio in Ostrava. The reason is no longer obvious. The dramatic development of the contagion and the necessity for all of us to travel to Prague in the evening and stay there overnight. Reaction? I don’t know!

In addition to Vondrek, the letter includes Jakub Unucka (ODS), Zuzana Klusov (Pirti), Luk Curylo (KDU-SL), Petr Kajnar (SSD), Josef Babka (KSM), Vladimr Tanck (Mayor for the Region) and Jan Lipner ( TENT). Apart from the SPD, these are all parties in the regional council.
From the Czech television, she saw the news and sports director Zdeka had a confusing answer. This is due to the speed of the policy proposal, which, according to him, was finally informed about the city and time more than a week in advance. And until the public day, however, none of them contradicted it.

The discussion on the darkness of the journey of North Moravian politicians to Prague continued between Vondrek and Luton and on Twitter. The Moravian-Silesian governor there timely decided his and his opponents with the latest development of the epidemiological situation in Prague, which, according to him, is red as light on the coffins.
We had to agree with Dictate T that everyone would have to travel to Prague, we would have regional studios, says in one of Vondrk’s fellowships.
Mr. President, we respectfully invite you, we do not dictate, Lutonsk replied, saying that in the Ostrava studio, T would not be able to ensure a safe environment at such a large event. Don’t think that it is not possible, say that Vm is not wanted, the governor countered.
Unfortunately, because of Covid, we must always go to the epicenter of the plague in Prague. The effort was, in fact, that the Ostrava studio would manage the debate very well …. code. https://t.co/BZPzTQEcvW

Candidate Pirt Klusov posted on Twitter, when she wrote that everyone has to go to the epicenter of the virus infection in Prague.
The debate should take place from 8:05 pm in the broadcast news channel T 24. According to the Lidovky.cz server, there was also a variant of a full boycott of the debate on the table, but there was not enough agreement among the candidates on this procedure.
The epidemiological situation in Prague and its surroundings is currently the worst in the country. In the capital city there are 195 inhabitants per hundred thousand inhabitants, in the district of Prague-entrance it is more than two hundred. Ostrava, on the other hand, records 78 positive cases for the same number of people.
