Talking Point Politicians promise the people will elect their next president
With just days to go to the February 8 presidential elections speculation as to who will lead the country in the next five years has reached fever pitch. More than ever the Czech public has been drawn into the presidential election campaign. Challenger Jan Švejnar has been on a campaign trail around the country and even the incumbent Václav Klaus has made more public appearances than he did in the last elections. A televised debate between the two candidates drew enormous interest. Everything points to the fact that Czechs are following the elections closely and opinion polls suggest that the overwhelming majority of Czechs would like to elect the president in a direct vote.
