Two Green Party MPs hesitant over whether to back budget bill for 2008

Two deputies from government member the Green Party have suggested they might not support the 2008 state budget bill in the upcoming final vote. The two are Olga Zubova and Vera Jakubkova; Mrs Zubova has stated that - in her and her colleague’s opinion - the budget as proposed provides insufficient support for the education sector. She also said it did not reflect Green Party priorities in the transport sector. The MP added she would also consider whether or not to support the centre-right government led by Mirek Topolanek in a no confidence vote which the opposition is planning to call.
