Social Democrats see caretaker government if no-confidence vote succeeds

Senior Social Democrat MP Michal Hašek has stated that should a planned post-election vote of no confidence in the current coalition government succeed, his party would expect a caretaker government through its impending EU chairmanship. The comments were made on the Czech television station Prima on Sunday morning. The Social Democrats are largely convinced that upcoming gains in local elections will give them an effective mandate to bring down the current coalition government.
