Current AffairsMinister Schwarzenberg accuses power giant ČEZ of secretly funding political parties
Foreign Minister, and coalition TOP 09 party leader Karel Schwarzenberg has
accused the state-controlled electricity firm ČEZ of bankrolling Czech
political parties. In an interview for the news-website aktualne.cz this
week, Mr Schwarzenberg said it was “a public secret” that ČEZ had
financed parties – except his own group, TOP 09. The serious accusations
– presented with no evidence or further details – were dismissed by
politicians across the board – with the notable exception of František
Bublan, a Social Democrat MP, and former Interior Minister and head of the
Czech intelligence service. But commentator Erik Best believes Mr
Schwarzenberg might have had his very own reasons for speaking out. More
