Rebel Greens may be expelled

Four rebel members of the Greens could be expelled at a meeting of the party’s national council on Sunday, a representative said. MPs Olga Zubová and Věra Jakubová and former education minister Dana Kuchtová are among those who could be thrown out of the smallest party in the governing coalition, after setting up a fraction named Democratic Appeal in opposition to chairman Martin Bursík. Party officials said the rebels had overstepped the mark by appearing in public, using the party emblem and setting up their own website.
