A petition signed by 5,600 people calls for creating an ODS-free liberal coalition in Prague of STAN, the Pirates and Praha sobě. "We know it works" the petitioners say. "A similar coalition led Prague in 2018-2022, and the city is still reaping the benefits today." The petitioners didn't mention the Dosimeter corruption scandal, which erupted in mid-2022 and centered around STAN and TOP 09. Jakub Michálek of the Pirates famously said on Czech TV in Sept. 2023 that STAN used the black funds it stole from DP Praha transit company to finance the illegal campaign in the 2021 parliamentary elections for circling out the Pirates. Michálek has since retreated to the background, as has the "let us at them" corruption ethos of his party. Which is one reason why the Pirates won only 9.38% of the vote in the Prague municipal elections this year, down nearly half from four years ago. The petitioners apparently won't get the ODS-free coalition in Prague they're hoping for, but STAN does seem ready to give the Pirates a seat on the city council in a government with ODS and TOP 09. In a sense, this can be seen as the Pirates' belated share of the Dosimeter plunder.
