Konečná leaves the Communists. She wants to prevent lynching due to joining the Patriots

Kateřina Konečná, former chair of the Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia (KSČM), has decided to leave the party but will continue to collaborate closely with it in the European Parliament. She recently joined the Patrioti pro Evropu faction, which has caused discontent among some party members. Konečná stated her departure aims to prevent internal conflicts from affecting the party's reputation. KSČM chairman Roman Roun confirmed her ongoing support for the party's program while criticizing certain members for prioritizing personal interests over electoral success.
