Greens to negotiate on future of nuclear power in government

The Green party is ready to negotiate about the future of nuclear power in the Czech Republic, the party's candidate for education minister in the new government, Dana Kuchtova, said on Monday. However, Ms Kuchtova denied speaking about the closure of the Czech Temelin nuclear power plant in the near future in an interview for an Austrian local newspaper. That, Ms Kuchtova said, would be politically unrealistic. The chairman of the Green Party, Martin Bursik, confirmed that the Greens will not try and push through the closure of Temelin in the four-year term of the coalition cabinet.
