Former minister of justice condemns criticism of him brought forward by successor

Former minister of justice Pavel Němec has harshly criticized statements made by his successor regarding the way he ran the ministry. In a program on Czech Television on Sunday, Mr Neměc said that current Minister of Justice Jiři Pospíšil was spreading demagogic lies and added that the minister seemed to have a personal vendetta against him. Mr Pospíšil said a few days ago that he was planning to clear the ministry of structures that had been established during Němec’s mandate, referring to some of its public tenders which had gone to the Mr Němec’s law firm.
