The speculation was fuelled by Jana Bobošíková, a Klaus admirer and leader of the nationalist Sovereignty party. In the end, the idea withered as quickly as it appeared; Mr Klaus announced he would not be standing. The next opportunity, therefore, is next year's Senate, regional or European Parliament elections. But is a comeback truly a realistic prospect? I discussed that question with Petr Just, a political scientist teaching at Metropolitan University in Prague. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/klaus_vaclav3_1.jpg?timestamp=1591168033 https://english.radio.cz/klaus-comeback-what-are-odds-8543138 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
