Klaus mulls return to politics

Former president Václav Klaus told Czech Television on Saturday that he is seriously considering a return to politics. The former head of state said that he sees the current political situation as so dire, that he feels he could make a positive contribution if there was a big enough movement supporting him. Chairwoman of the Sovereignty Party Jana Bobošíková met with Mr. Klaus on Friday, but no specific announcement was made after the meeting. Former Civic Democratic MP Boris Šťastný left his party on Friday and said that he would be interested in joining a political movement led by Václav Klaus. So far the two-term president and former prime minister said that he has no concrete plans, but that he has to make a decision in the next few days.
