Chamber to debate 15 proposals after PM reaches agreement with party leaders

The Chamber of Deputies will debate around 15 government proposals at a regular session on March 10 and 17, after talks between the prime minister, Jan Fischer, and party leaders on what the caretaker cabinet can achieve before it leaves office in just over three months’ time. Recently disputes between the right- and left-wing parties in the lower house have led to filibustering. The head of the parliamentary group of the centre-right Civic Democrats, Petr Tluchoř, said however that Tuesday’s agreement did not mean his party would back all of the interim government’s proposals.
