Kutil Tona asked whether critics minded that the citizens of Plzeň chose a candidate they did not consider sufficiently connected to the city. He reminded them that Andrej Babiš repeatedly ran in regions where he did not live and pointed out politicians who changed their permanent residence due to candidacy. He stated that he did not deny the candidate's abilities, work ethic, or that she could have done something for Plzeň. However, he labeled her candidacy for the ANO movement as a political disadvantage, as it had been associated with so many scandals and controversies that part of the electorate did not trust it. According to him, the result was not evidence of the voters' incapacity, but a consequence of the reputation that ANO had built for itself. He urged critics to think about why voters preferred another candidate instead of insulting them and added that voters did not have to vote according to their expectations. #Plzeň #Politika #VolebníPráva (translated)
