Grolich on the dispute with TOP 09: We are not hunting anyone. Apologizing is pointless

After the elections, over twenty members of the South Moravian TOP 09 party announced their departure to the KDU-ČSL. KDU-ČSL leader Jan Grolich denies any coordinated effort, although he acknowledges discussions had occurred since summer. He refutes claims of enticing TOP 09 members with positions, stating that the transition was voluntary and not planned. Grolich emphasizes that they did not reach out to members of other parties and expresses no intention to recruit further. He also clarifies that he has no plans to resign as the South Moravian governor, despite speculation about his position. The situation has sparked controversy, but Grolich maintains that the new members see hope in KDU-ČSL's political direction.
