Roma candidate now on local council after Czech municipal elections (romea.cz, 2010)

The municipal elections held this past weekend have rejected the "godfathers" of the Civic Democratic Party (ODS). Votes went instead to the largest left-wing party, ČSSD, and to political newcomers TOP 09. In addition to the surprise successes of newly established associations and the deep losses for the Public Affairs Party (Věcí veřejné), an old familiar malady has also resurfaced - the buying of socially disadvantaged persons' votes. Of the three Roma candidates with whom we published interviews prior to the elections, only one has succeeded: Marcel Cichý (ODS) is now a council member in Trmice.
