Čunek to push for new cabinet to bring down electricity prices

The head of the Christian Democratic Party, Jiří Čunek, has said he will propose that the country’s incoming cabinet push through a lowering of electricity prices in the Czech Republic. He made the statement on Friday, stressing he would make a proposal to Prime Minister-designate Jan Fischer next week. But he refused to elaborate, saying he would explain his plan - meant as an anti-crisis step – to Mr Fischer on Tuesday. In addition, on Friday the Christian Democrats confirmed they will not put forward recommendations for Mr Fischer's cabinet.
