Brno councilor Tomas Kratochvil resigns

Brno city councilor Tomas Kratochvil who was recently expelled from his ANO party resigned from the council on Friday, the ctk news agency reports. Kratocvil had come under strong pressure from his former party to leave and the ongoing controversy over his continued presence was interfering with the work of the Brno administration. ANO’s leadership expelled him from the party citing incompetence and claiming that he was damaging the party’s good name. The other seven parties and groupings represented in Brno’s administration refused to get involved in the conflict.
