Czech parties scramble to save ruling coalition
PRAGUE - Reuters
Two feuding parties in the Czech ruling coalition have taken steps to resolve a dispute that had shaken the government, but the two sides said tension remained and they saw no sure way forward. The centrist Christian Democrats called at the weekend for Social Democrat leader Stanislav Gross, at 35 Europe's youngest national leader, to resign due to questions about how he paid for a luxury flat in 1999 and about his wife's business. They would then be willing to form a new government with his party and the third coalition partner, the rightist Freedom Union, under a new prime minister. Gross denies any wrongdoing by himself or his wife and told the Christian Democrats to back down or leave the Cabinet.
