Political parties
ElectionsThe Czech Pirate Party (Czech: Česká pirátská strana) is a political party in the Czech Republic, based on the model of the Swedish Pirate Party. It registered at Czech Interior Ministry on June 17, 2009.[2] During the first two days after launching their website in April, 1,800 people signed online petition for party registration.[3] Czech law requires 1,000 signatures on paper petition for party registration. In the student elections, the Pirate Party received 7.7% of the vote.[4]
The party participated in the general elections in May 2010,[5] and received 0.8% of the vote.[6]
According to a recent public poll published by Network Media Service, 40% of internet users in the Czech Republic download media (music and films); while among users aged under 30 years, it is 60%.[2]
In December 2010, the party has launched its own national whistleblowing site similar to WikiLeaks called PirateLeaks.[7] The site is intended as primary source for journalists. It is dedicated to both evidence of corruption in Czech government and public administration documents which should be publicly available according to law 106/1999 Sb. (Free Access to Information Act) but which the authorities refuse to disclose without formal request defined by the law.
Standing in a local senate election on 18–19 March 2011 in Kladno, they obtained 0.75% of the vote.[8]
