On 14 May, the Czech Chamber of Deputies passed a non-binding resolution opposing the gathering, tabled by far-right SPD and supported by coalition parties ANO, SPD, and Motorists. Opposition parties boycotted the vote. Czech President Petr Pavel granted patronage to the accompanying Meeting Brno festival.
