Brno - The Brno coalition will act uniformly when deciding on the future location of the train station. Mayor Roman Onderka (ČSSD) told journalists today. The councilors currently have a study available that summarizes the pros and cons of the station in the center and in a location less than a kilometer south. The mayor will send the document to representatives of the opposition political clubs today. Coalition politicians should decide within approximately 14 days on which variant they will support. None of the closest leadership of Brno wanted to say today which of the two forms of future transport in Brno they would lean towards. So far, only the opinion of councilor Jiří Zlatuška (Brno 2006) is known. The politician stated in today's press that the study clearly indicates the advantages of the station in the center, and the project to move it, prepared by the previous city administration led by ODS, should not be approved. Other representatives of the Brno coalition reacted unfavorably to his statement. The mayor said that Zlatuška was speaking for himself, not for the Brno coalition. Deputy Martin Ander also did not want to make a clear statement today, although his parent party, the Green Party, has based a significant part of its policy on opposition to the relocation of the station in recent years, and the Greens have never hidden their opinion. "This cannot be decided by Ander with Drápalová (Brno councilor), and I even think that not even the council of representatives. A deep discussion must take place in the Brno Green Party," he told journalists today. The Brno coalition includes not only social democrats but also Christian democrats, Greens, and the Brno 2006 movement. It is primarily the Greens and representatives of Brno 2006 who are critical of the station's relocation, while social democrats have also opposed it in the past. The Christian democrats, as the former coalition partner of ODS, hold the opinion that the reconstruction of the railway junction, which will move the station one kilometer south, is correct. This variant is being vocally supported primarily by Milan Šimonovský, the former deputy mayor of Brno, later the Minister of Transport, and now a Member of Parliament. Brno politicians have thus far only agreed that the dense network of tracks in Brno needs to be reconstructed. If the railway hub, including the station, is to be moved nearly a kilometer, a decision by the councilors will suffice, as this variant was approved by the city representatives in the previous electoral period. If the councilors are in favor of the station being in the center, they will have to push for their decision in the city council.
