The Civic Democratic Party (CDP) of the Czech Republic is holding a one-day ideological conference on Saturday. The meeting is intended to discuss the party’s policies for the next two years, including for the 2025 general elections.
Party experts have prepared draft policies in recent months that differ from those being pursued by the current government, which includes the CDP, TOP 09, the Christian Democrats, the Mayors and the Pirates.
The conference will be attended by delegates representing the roughly 12,000 party members. Issues to be discussed include the planned Euro 7 directive on vehicle emissions.
The CDP is hoping to use the conference to set the agenda for the upcoming elections and to ensure that their policies are in line with the wishes of their members. The outcome of the conference will be closely watched by political observers in the Czech Republic and beyond.
