The Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia (KSČM) has elected Roman Roun as its new chairman during the party's 12th Congress, held on 30-31 May, held amid growing anti-communist attacks and political pressure in the Czech Republic.
Roun succeeds Kateřina Konečná, who had led the party since 2021. The leadership transition comes after a difficult period for the Czech communists, marked by disappointing electoral results and the party's continued struggle to regain parliamentary representation.
