Jiri Paroubek accuses former VZP head of libel

Social Democrat leader Jiri Paroubek plans to bring charges of libel against a former head of the VZP health insurance company. In Wednesday's issue of business newspaper Hospodarske Noviny, Jirina Musilkova says Mr Paroubek tried to pressure her into resigning when she headed the state's biggest health insurer in November last year, eleven days after the heavily indebted VZP was put under forced administration.
