As expected, the President swore a new minority ODS Government yesterday. ODS is aiming to bring the country into early elections. Both former coalition parties, the Greens and Christian Democrats (KDU) voiced their support for the ODS minority Government while Social Democrats (CSSD) continue to oppose it. ODS said that they want to use full 30 days period to ask the Lower House for confidence; hence on October 4.
Our view:
Despite the political situation moving forward, the outcome is not certain yet given the fact that ODS, the Greens and KDU still have 100 votes only. It is very likely that CSSD and the Communists will not support the ODS Government while CSSD waits for its chance to form their Government.
