Liska said he expected the bill to meet with opposition in the Chamber of Deputies where senators also had problems to push through the establishment of the Czech Institute for the Studies of Totalitarian Regimes. Left-wing senators today rejected the bill, but they were outvoted. A total of 50 out of the 66 senators present supported the legislation.
