Protest to be held on Tuesday outside Cabinet to demand resignation of Gov't Office head Pavel Pribyl

The authors of a petition calling for the removal of the newly appointed Government Office head, Pavel Pribyl, have organised a protest outside of the Cabinet headquarters for Tuesday morning. Mr Pribyl is alleged to have led a police anti-riot unit in 1989 that was sent to break-up anti-communist demonstrations. Prime Minister Stanislav Gross has rejected calls for Mr Pribyl's dismissal, saying he was merely "in training" for that position, adding that as he has passed an Interior Ministry screening process, Mr Pribyl was found not to have collaborated with the former regime in any "significant" way.
