Aktualne.cz: Czech "defector" MPs receive anonymous death threat

The internet news server Aktualne.cz reports that MPs Michal Pohanka and Milos Melcak, who have left the opposition Social Democrats and side with the government in crucial votes in parliament, have received letters containing death threats. Mr Melcak and Mr Pohanka supported the coalition government in a confidence vote in January, thus helping it narrowly survive. On Thursday they supported the government's draft public finance reform in its first reading in the lower house. Aktualne.cz writes that Mr Melcak and Mr Pohanka admitted previously that an anonymous campaign has been led against them since last year and they and their families have received death threats.
