Regional party leaders want debate on Greens remaining in government

The heads of five regional branches of the Greens have called for talks on whether the party should remain in the coalition government. They have criticised the party's leadership for not standing by Dana Kuchtova, who on Wednesday resigned as education minister over the mishandling of applications for EU funding. The regional leaders want the conditions under which the Green Party would remain in government to be on the agenda at a forthcoming national conference. The Greens are the smallest party in the coalition, which also features the Civic Democrats and Christian Democrats.
