MICHAELA SUCHARDOVÁ CZECH GREENS N. 2 CANDIDATE EU elections in the Czech Republic

The 50/50 candidate list

In the CR you may give 2 preferential votes within the same party Forum 50 – campaign – Circle women Still not working much when looking at the results – no women jumped over men The reality – the leaders are still mostly men with the exception of the communists and Christian democrats

The results YES – the populists – 16% - 4 MEP (2 women) – ALDE TOP 09 (right) and the mayors – 15% - 4 MEP - EPP Social democrats – 14% - 4 MEP (1 women n2) Communists – 11% - 3 MEP (1 women leader) Christian democrats – 10% - 3 MEP (1 women leader) - EPP ODS – 8% - 2 MEP – conservatives Free citizens – 5% - 1 MEP – right extremist

What we achieved The last autumn lower Parliament chamber – 3,19% The EP election – 3,77% Pending constitutional complaint The leader of the party resigned, currently a woman before the autumn elections

Could sth. more be done to raise the participation? 18% participation Worse only in SK – 17% Myself – 4000 km around the CR, contact campaign, not done otherwise much by the candidates 4200 preferential votes, i.e. 7% green preferential votes (no other women achieved that, only the Christian democrats leader)

Plus/cons The most populist party the Dawn of direct democracy did not succeed If Yes leader Telička EU Commissioner, might not pass through the EP If others, then not in line with the EU elections No real topics (€ v Ukraine)
