Talking Point Czech presidential elections: what next?
Last weekend, in a protracted and often heated joint session of Parliament, Czech lawmakers failed to elect either incumbent Václav Klaus or his opponent Jan Švejnar the new head of state. With the second Czech presidential election fast approaching, a number of key issues remain unresolved. In today’s Talking Point, we examine why last Friday’s election failed to produce a result, the procedural wrangling that continues to dominate the process, and what we can expect from next Friday’s vote.
