Current Affairs Greens threaten to leave government unless truck restrictions broadened

In a week’s time, the government was to have begun discussing the tightening of restrictions on long-haul trucks in the Czech Republic. But the talks have now been postponed. The prime minister met on Tuesday with hauliers’ representatives, and following their meeting, suggested that restrictions might not be quite so clear-cut. Now, the issue will be discussed only later in August. The prime minister’s move has left coalition partners the Greens far from happy and they wasted no time in response, saying that unless new restrictions were introduced, they would leave the government.
