Ruling Civic Democrats want to occupy parliamentary committees

The largest ruling coalition party, the Civic Democrats, are preparing changes in the lower house that would enable them to occupy the posts of chairmen of key committees that are now dominated by the opposition, Lidove Noviny reported. At present, the budget, health and controlling committee are headed by opposition Social Democrats and Communists. The Civic Democrats would also like to change the number of deputies in the committees, which now have an equal representation of the opposition and the coalition members.
