Ideology

The party focuses on regional issues. It supports economical responsibility, transparency and flood repairs. SLK were critical of the coalition between ČSSD and SOS that governed the region in 2008-2012. SLK criticised the coalition for corruption and slow repairs to roads damaged by floods.[4][5]

History

SLK was established in 2008 and participated in regional elections that year, receiving just under 14% and forming part of the opposition in the regional assembly. SLK participated in the 2010 legislative election, with its members nominated by TOP 09. SLK member Jan Farský was elected as a member of parliament.[6][7]

Martin Půta led SLK into the 2012 regional elections and won over 20% of votes, with Půta becoming Governor of the region. In 2016 he again led the party into elections, winning over 30% of votes.[8][9]
