Where they disagree

Statements from the election calculator on which the people on stage differ the most — based on their own answers (6 of 7 answered).

  1. Sport

    Brno should sell the land behind Lužánky to an investor even at a significantly lower price than the one set by the city's expert valuation, if this is a condition for a new football stadium to be built.

    Agree
    Disagree
  2. Transport

    Fares on Brno's public transport should be free for people under 26.

    Agree
    Disagree
  3. Urban development

    Creating the position of a coordinator for roadworks and closures has proved to be a sufficient solution to the problem of Brno being dug up everywhere, and it should therefore continue to be kept in preference to other possible solutions.

    Agree
    Disagree
  4. Transport

    The city should introduce a speed limit of 30 km/h in the centre instead of the current 50 km/h.

    Agree
    Disagree
