Czech opposition party STAN (Mayors and Independents) is campaigning to ban alcohol consumption during parliamentary sessions. They are utilizing both a petition hosted on a dedicated website, “Sober Parliament,” and a proposed amendment to the Chamber of Deputies’ rules of procedure. The petition aims to demonstrate public support for a more sober legislative environment and signal to lawmakers across all parties that such a ban is considered normal. STAN hopes the combined effort will influence the upcoming vote on the proposed rule change. The initiative seeks to address concerns about the potential impact of alcohol on the quality of debate and decision-making within the parliament. Supporters are encouraged to sign the petition to demonstrate their backing for the proposal.
