Christian Democrats divided over deal

In related news, the Christian Democratic Party saw sharp division among some of its members over how to proceed towards a new government. Outgoing Finance Minister Miroslav Kalousek reportedly criticised party members in a heated exchange on Tuesday, angering the party’s leader Jiří Čunek. The head of the Christian Democrats’ deputies’ club, Pavel Severa confirmed that party MPs would push for new talks on the interim government, after the deputies group narrowly rejected a draft resolution by Mr Kalousek urging the party to respect the weekend agreement.
