The Ostravak citizens' movement originated from the civic association
"We Live in the City - Our Ostrava".

Main goals

One of the main goals of the movement was to disrupt the existing grand coalition of the

Czech Social Democratic Party (ČSSD) and the Civic Democratic Party (ODS), which they argued often did not respect the interests of the city's citizens.[2]
