Hašek calls for transport minister to go

In related news, there is little doubt in the mind of regional governor Michal Hašek, of the opposition Social Democrats, that the transport minister should step down. On Monday, Mr Hašek echoed earlier words by his party leader that Pavel Dobeš should go, citing additional complications with the system in parts of the country on Monday. The vehicle registration system, for example, suffered problems in Ostrava and Pardubice, even though the transport minister has guaranteed it would be fully up-and-running. In Ostrava, there was a lapse in the internet connection while in Pardubice there was a problem with the historic vehicles section. Mr Dobeš faced an ultimatum to step down by Friday last week, if the system wasn’t operational. Technicians said that Monday’s problems were not systemic.
