Sobotka against sell-off of Prague's Ruzyně airport

Social Democrat deputy chairman Bohuslav Sobotka is against the sale of Prague's Ruzyně airport operator Letiště Praha. Speaking in a televised debate on Sunday, Mr Sobotka said the government should either lease the airport for a long period of time or it should only sell part of the company. Prague mayor Pavel Bém, on the other hand, argues that direct sell-off of the whole share in a tender would raise the chances of getting a good price. The government decided in June to sell the whole company to a strategic partner.
