Biography
[edit]Bohuslav Svoboda was born on 8 February 1944 in Prague. He attended Charles University and studied medicine. Before his second term as mayor, he served as the head of gynaecology clinics at Charles University Hospital and the Central Military Hospital in Prague.[4]
In the 2022 Prague municipal election Svoboda was leader of the coalition SPOLU and SPOLU won the election. Forming a coalition with the Czech Pirate Party and STAN took 5 months of negotiations. On 16 February 2023 Svoboda was elected again as the mayor of Prague.[5]
Svoboda is a member of the Civic Democratic Party.[6]
In March 2024, Czech Green Party filed criminal charges against Svoboda for "spreading a contagious disease" after he deliberately attended a parliamentary health committee meeting despite suffering from whooping cough, which occurred during a nationwide surge in cases of the disease.[7]
