According to him, they are to call on their voters to consider supporting him, and they also offered help with the campaign.[2]
In the second round, Trešl, a physician by profession, wants to concentrate on three topics: accessible health care and the operation of the two hospitals in the region, keeping young people in the region, and the question of drought with a falling groundwater level, which according to him affects mainly the Rakovník area and part of the Žatec area.[1]
