Christian Democrat MPs to vow in writing they would not back any Communist-supported government

The leadership of the Christian Democrats has called on all the party's deputies to sign a pledge that they will not back any government dependent on the support of the Communist Party. The party's acting head Jan Kasal says he does not expect any of the 13 MPs to refuse to sign it, not even former Foreign Minister Cyril Svoboda, who recently indicated he would like the party to discuss and possibly reassess its resolution preventing the party's participation in any government that would depend on the Communists.
