Lukáš Wagenknecht’s political movement, “Jsme tem” (We Are Here), will participate in upcoming municipal and senate elections this fall. Wagenknecht previously ran for leadership of the Pirate Party but was defeated by Zdeněk Hřib. The movement will field Jan Štern, a former member of parliament for the Civic Democratic Alliance (ODA) and a dramaturg and producer, as its candidate in a central Prague district. This marks an expansion of the movement’s political ambitions beyond its initial formation. Štern’s candidacy signals a focus on local representation alongside broader political goals. The movement aims to capitalize on Wagenknecht’s profile and Štern’s experience to gain traction with voters. This represents a new chapter for Wagenknecht following his unsuccessful Pirate Party bid.
