Czech president Vaclav Klaus has come out with strong words against the
current coalition government: in an interview for the daily Pravo,
published Saturday, the president criticised the cabinet as being, in his
view, "incapable of dealing with long-term problems" or
presenting a "clear conceptual approach". The Czech president
also criticised government ministers for being invisible to the public.
The latest interview is hardly the first time Mr Klaus has criticised the
government: the president also had strong words following a government
crisis earlier in the year that led to the resignation of former prime
minister Vladimir Spidla, replaced by Stanislav Gross.
