The current premier presented a new cabinet to president yesterday. President refused to name this government and recommended to ODS’s leader, who has mandate to form the government, to negotiate cabinet with a wider support. The main problems which president pointed out are weak support and some minister’s name. However premier insists on his second government. President stated before that the weak government is the quick way to the third attempt. Note that new cabinet is the renewal of ODS-KDU-Greens coalition with support from CSSD’s deserter.
Our view:
ODS-KDU-Greens cabinet supported by “constructive” CSSD members would reached closed majority in the chamber. It seems that president force ODS to make some agreement with CSSD despite the facts that all recent attempts to make any “Grand” coalition between two biggest parties failed.
