In recent weeks Mr Gross has been under intense scrutiny over how he paid for his luxury flat back in 1999 and his wife is struggling to shake off similar allegations regarding a multi-million crown loan. No sooner had Mr. Gross left on a two day visit to France on Tuesday, than strange things started happening back home. His coalition partners, the Christian Democrats have called for a crisis meeting of all parties in Parliament except the Communists to discuss the scandal; the Freedom Union, the smallest party in government, is openly considering the possibility of a caretaker government, while the opposition Civic Democrats claim that the only solution to the crisis is early elections. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/gross_stanislav4.jpg?timestamp=1590314501 https://english.radio.cz/scandal-over-prime-ministers-finances-precipitates-government-crisis-8095960 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
