Civic Democrats and Public Affairs: Decision over future of government to fall on Tuesday

Top party officials from the government coalition’s Civic Democrats and junior coalition partner Public Affairs on Thursday announced that in their effort to find common ground, they had not yet managed to reach an agreement. Prime Minister Petr Nečas said a decision on the future of the government, which found itself in the midst of a crisis precipitated by Public Affairs earlier this week, could be expected on Tuesday, as had previously been announced. Previously, Public Affairs officials said the party would quit the coalition by the end of the month unless the number of ministries was reduced by three and the coalition agreement was revised.
