'capital' is the definition.
(capital of Czechia)

'under pressure debate moving queen up one space' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'pressure' could be 'p' (abbreviation) and 'p' is found within the answer.
'queen' could be 'r' (abbreviation for regina, e.g. in ER ) and 'r' is located in the answer.
'one' could be 'a' (a thing is one thing) and 'a' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'gue' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
