19.07.2008 - Czech press survey
Its sole positive effect is that it has shown that Cunek, local development minister, senator and KDU-CSL chairman, was a shady operator irresepctive of from where his incomes came.
The Kroll audit did not benefit the reputation of Foreign Minister Karel Schwarzenberg, the first politician since 1990 to attempt to privatise criminal proceedings, and Czech Greens head to present new party statutes ...
Audit shows no reason to dismiss Czech Deputy PM Cunek - Bursik ...
Czech coalition would lose elections now - poll ...
Ink dried on conservative-Green coalition ...
Czech deputy PM should consult his Romanies initiative-official ... besides, he placed the order with incompetent people, Uhl writes.
The audit has benefited Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek, chairman of the senior government Civic Democrats (ODS), Environment Minister Martin Bursik, chairman of the junior government Green Party (SZ) and other people who care so much for Cunek remaining in the government as its "firm keystone," Uhl writes.
Ondrej Neff comments in Lidove noviny on the developments in the junior government Green Party (SZ) that will hold an extraordinary election congress in September at which party deputy chairwoman Dana Kuchtova wants to compete for the post of chairperson, and says that voters cannot be sure of Kuchtova and that not even she can be sure of herself.
She has been doing everything for making the impression that she wants to compete with current chairman Martin Bursik, but she has not yet announced it officially, Neff writes.
He says she is thus probing into the opinions of her fellow party members and voters, Neff writes and reminds that almost every other Greens voter is now dissatisfied with having voted for the Greens.
"If Kuchtova decides to compete, it will be a struggle between Bursik who brought the party to parliament, and his party number two who has done everything for the party not to get to parliament next time," Neff writes.
Alexandr Mitrofanov writes in Pravo on the theme of the Greens that their chairman Martin Bursik is resolved to stay in the centre-right government coalition at any cost even though he must make certain concessions.
This must be to the liking of the group of voters who ensured the party's entry to the Chamber of Deputies in 2006 and who form Bursik's social background, that is city liberals, Mitrofanov writes.
If Bursik lost his fight for re-election at the party's extraordinary congress in September, those voters who could no longer vote for the defunct Freedom Union-DEU and cast their votes for the Greens in 2006 could turn away from the party, Mitrofanov writes.
He says Bursik's opponents in the party, Dana Kuchtova, party national council chairwoman Olga Zubova and her deputy Matej Stropnicky would not only be little right-minded for these voters, but mainly too amateurish.
"Bursik the conjurer is, on the contrary, good for them" Mitrofanov writes.
Polls have shown that the Greens would not get to parliament if only supported by really environment-minded voters, Mitrofanov writes.
"Bursik or another cunning fox at the head of the party seems to be a necessity because his opponents cannot guarantee to the congress that they will put together the same number of voters," Mitrofanov writes.
