Topolanek: MP being pressured into supporting Social Democrats

Outgoing Civic Democrat Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek says he knows of a member of parliament who is being pressurised into voting for a Social Democrat government. Speaking to journalists on Tuesday, he said he could not reveal the MPs name or party. Mr Topolanek already suggested in a radio interview on Monday that three Christian Democrat MPs are either being put under pressure or bribed to support a Social Democrat government in a vote of confidence in the lower house of Parliament. The acting head of the Christian Democrats, Jan Kasal, has ruled out the possibility.
