Cunek to discuss future as head of Christian Democrats at national conference

Meanwhile, Jiri Cunek says he will discuss his future as chairman of the Christian Democrats at a national party conference on Tuesday. Mr Cunek said on a TV debate programme that he did not wish to remain head of a party in which the majority of members did not support him. Senator Cunek is set to quit both cabinet posts on Wednesday. The Christian Democrats will name their choice to succeed him within the next two weeks.
