Positions

The sources opened give no detailed programme for him. Reporting shows him as a member of the Pardubice ruling coalition around Žijeme Pardubice, a list of ČSSD, ProPce21 and independent candidates according to Novinky.cz. When opposition councillors sought the removal of coalition colleague Otakar Janecký, who faces criminal proceedings over the Development Fund tenders, Czech News Agency reported that Rychtecký defended keeping him in office and said the coalition expected his name to be cleared.
