Opposition leader calls for early elections

Social Democrat leader Bohuslav Sobotka on Tuesday called for a broad agreement on early elections at the earliest possible date, saying the government was fuelling social tension and was unable to cope with the situation. He accused the government of pushing through socially unjust reforms and riding roughshod over any opposition to the proposed bills, saying there had been no dialogue and no debate on reforms that would affect the lives of generations of Czechs.
