Opposition slams ruling coalition for inability to govern

Social Democrat leader Bohuslav Sobotka has accused the government of letting the country slide into chaos and noted that the ruling coalition should either get on with the task of ruling the country or resign. Mr. Sobotka said it was unacceptable for the ruling coalition to continue in the present manner when it was not clear whether it had a majority in the lower house, the votes to pass next year’s state budget, what taxes would be in place next year and whether the pension reform would be in force or not. Communist Party leader Vojtech Filip joined the criticism saying the members of the ruling coalition were not serving the country but merely hanging onto power.
