The leader of KDU (Christian Democrats) who started negotiations with CSSD (Social Democrats) about the Government supported by Communists has resigned. KDU reiterated (according to its program) that any cooperation with Communists is forbidden. The leader of ODS (Civic Democrats) Mirek Topolanek, who has the mandate to form a new Government, should preset his Cabinet to the President on Friday. It should be the Government which will lead to early elections scheduled for next spring.
Our view: The deadlock continues and we believe that new election would be the best scenario, however ODS must gain support for its plans.
