Social Democrats would try and block proposed sale of Ruzyně airport

At a regional meeting, the Social Democrats resolved to try and block the sale of Prague’s Ruzyně airport. Social Democrats from the Central Bohemian region agreed on Saturday to do everything within their power to block the sale of the airport, which is currently being mooted by the government. According to the Social Democrats, selling the airport in the current financial crisis would result in the state asset fetching far less than it would otherwise be worth. Regional party head Richard Dolejš said that the government should not, in the current circumstances, be selling off the ‘family silver’.
