All you have to do, is to choose your favourite color, add your message to the SPOLU coalition, add a hashtag #jdemevolit and tag the @SPOLU_jdemevolit profile.

Plus, they can inspire others. The more people come to vote, the better. Then we have a chance for a change,“ says Radovan Gaudyn, member of Mladí lidovci.

Young people interconnect regions and state

Young politicians visited czech regions during July. They met city managers of the SPOLU coalition. Politicians used the information from municipality of local governments to learn something about topics which are close to young people, for example accesible living, education, digitization of the state administration, environment or the importance of traveling. Soon you may find all the videos from czech regions on Instagram @SPOLU_jdemevolit and also on the website jdemevolit.cz.

„The goal of the roadshow is to interconnect both state and lokal politics. We wanted to show that even a young person can become a city manager. This kind of a city manager is the best ally to other young people because he knows what’s important for them and he tries to solve their problems,“ says Mikuláš Halás, coordinator of Mladá ODS and representative in Prague 2.
