The Mayors and Independents (Czech: Starostové a nezávislí; STAN) is a liberal[12] political party in the Czech Republic, focused on localism,[2] regionalism[13] and subsidiarity. It holds 33 seats in the Chamber of Deputies, and is the third strongest party by number of seats following the 2021 election. In the Czech Senate, the STAN group has 19 members.
The party grew out of four minor parties, including the Independent Mayors for the Region,[14] and the liberal-conservative SNK European Democrats. Until 2016, the party cooperated with another liberal-conservative party, TOP 09. STAN contested the 2021 Czech parliamentary election as part of the coalition Pirates and Mayors with the Czech Pirate Party.
