On 26 September, the Confederation of Bohemian and Moravian Trade Unions (CMKOS) agreed on long-term cooperation with the ProAlt civic group coalition that is opposed to the country’s centre-right cabinet, according to the CMKOS head Jaroslav Zahradil and Jan Majicek, from the ProAlt group. The union confederation has decided to support the demonstration against the reforms of pensions, health care, taxes and the welfare system proposed by the government, called by ProAlt for 22 October in the centre of Prague.
