Bursik also said he would not run for the Greens presidium if he did not defend the post of SZ chairman. "Dana Kuchtova and I have different political programmes of the Green Party and different views of the future.
It would not be possible for me to stay in the government [if she headed the SZ]. However, I think that the congress will turn out well in this respect, and that continuity will win, the leadership will receive a new mandate, the party will unite and it will create grounds for a new phase of the Green Party," Bursik told CT. He added that a politician should above all consider whether his/her steps would benefit the party, and only later whether they would be beneficial for him/her. Bursik said he cannot imagine the form of guarantees by which Kuchtova would secure loyalty to the party. Bursik previously warned the congress delegates against electing his rival Kuchtova. He also noted that Kuchtova might give up her candidacy at the very last moment to keep her post of deputy chairwoman. Kuchtova rejected it. According to a poll conducted by the Median agency for CT and released in the Questions of Vaclav Moravec Sunday discussion programme, most people would like Kuchtova to head the party, while a narrow majority of Greens voters support Bursik.
