Matouš Bělohlávek (24), Litoměřice — 2026 elections

Main topics

01

More support for schools and education

Primary school head teachers have a free hand in many respects as to the specific direction their school will take under their leadership. Often, however, they are unable to take individual steps without effective support, especially from their founder, i.e. the town. The town should therefore maintain closer cooperation with school management to help make teaching and school administration more effective. Head teachers should be supported as much as possible in their efforts to improve school facilities and thereby further support their pupils' efforts to learn. The founder should help especially with connecting schools with practice and with handling extensive education legislation. As part of connecting schools with practice, the town should also cooperate with secondary schools, even though their founder is the region.

02

Stop wasting public money

The town, as a basic territorial self-governing unit, manages a budget within which it works with revenue and uses it to fund projects that meet the needs of its citizens. Over the last several electoral terms, a considerable sum of these funds was saved, while in the current electoral term the savings fell by 300 million without any larger project being carried out. The town should not spend on unnecessary things or pay excessive sums for cheap services that could be obtained otherwise, more cheaply and more efficiently. Public funds should be handled responsibly, that is, prudently and with a longer-term plan, so that they truly serve to meet the needs of the town's citizens efficiently.

03

Communication with citizens

Councillors are representatives of the citizens who elected them. All the more so the members of the city executive board, the mayor and other members of the town's leadership. These representatives should communicate with their citizens to give them timely and truthful information about what is happening in the town, about planned repairs, changes or other relevant events and facts. Communication between the town and its citizens is thus a fundamental pillar of good town management.

A few words about me

I come from Litoměřice, where I have also lived my whole life so far. I am 24 years old. I am a teacher, a lawyer and also a history enthusiast. I currently work as a primary school teacher, which helps me perceive my surroundings and the perspectives of my pupils. I love Litoměřice very much, and that is why I am running for the council here, to help move it even further forward and make it an even better place to live. I believe that if you want to change something, you also have to get actively involved. It is not enough just to criticise and watch from a distance which direction the town is heading in.
