Havel disappointed in Nečas over handling of corruption allegations

Former Czech president Vaclav Havel also addressed the government affair in the Saturday issue of Mladá fronta Dnes, saying they raised his first doubts yet over Prime Minister Necas. Mr Havel said the prime minister’s standpoint on the scandal had been rather ambiguous and that his defence of Environment Minister Drobil was disappointing. He added that the anti-corruption rhetoric that the government parties have been using since elections in May has not convinced him.
