Kuba: Civic Democrats could enter coalition with Social Democrats

The acting chairman of the right-wing Civic Democrats, Martin Kuba, says his party could enter a coalition government with the Social Democrats. He told TV station Prima that similar alliances had been forged in recent times in the neighbouring states of Austria and Germany. However, the Civic Democrats’ election leader, Miroslava Němcová, said she could not envisage such a coalition. The Social Democrats have ruled it out entering a cabinet with either her party or the other main right-wing party, TOP 09.
