Ruling Social Democratic Party leader appointed prime minister
(17 Jan 2014) The leader of the Czech Republic's Social Democratic party was appointed as the country's new prime minister on Friday, following his victory in parliamentary elections in October last year.
Bohuslav Sobotka was greeted by Czech Republic President Milos Zeman for a signing in ceremony at Prague Castle.
The appointment of Sobotka means a return to power for his left-wing party for the first time since 2006.
Sobotka, 42, served as finance minister from 2002 to 2006.
The Social Democrats have signed a deal with two other parties - the centrist ANO (Yes) movement led by billionaire businessman Andrej Babis and the centrist Christian Democrats - to form a centre-left coalition government that has a comfortable 111 seats in the 200-seat lower house of Parliament.

Party leaders comment after all of them fail to win majority in Czech election
(26 Oct 2013) A special parliamentary election held in the Czech Republic left no party with a majority on Saturday, which could lead to protracted negotiations aimed at forming a coalition government.
The two-day election was called to end a political crisis triggered by the centre-right government's collapse in a whirlwind of allegations about corruption and marital infidelity.
With all the votes counted by the Czech Statistics Office, the left-wing Social Democrats won 20.45 percent, or 50 seats, in the 200-seat lower house of Parliament.
The party's ally, the Communists, finished third, receiving 14.91 percent of the vote, or 33 seats.
The new centrist ANO (Yes) movement, which campaigned on an anti-corruption ticket, finished in a surprisingly strong second place, with 18.65 perc...

Czech Republic - Klaus re-elected
(14 Dec 1997) T/I: 10:37:50
Outgoing Czech Prime Minister Vaclav Klaus on Sunday (14/12) fought off a challenger and was re-elected as head of the Civic Democratic Party (ODS) on a pledge to lead it back to power. Klaus swept the first-round ballot by 227 votes to 72 for his only challenger, former interior minister Jan Ruml, at a special party congress in Podebrady, 50 kilometres (31 miles) east of Prague. The ODS was the main party in the centre-right ruling coalition which collapsed two weeks ago amid accusations that it received illegal funding.

The New Czech Government and the Perspectives for Central Europe
What were the outcomes of Czech elections? Can they serve as inspiration for other Central European liberal democracies? While these are the key topics of the webinar, the participants also discussed their perspectives on the new Czech government and the nature of the Andrij Babis government. As this debate is taking place almost 10 years after the death of Václav Havel, the discussion also considered whether Havel’s legacy continues to be meaningful in the country, and whether it can still inspire Central European democrats.

STORYLINE:
Czechs voted on Friday to decide who will form the country's next government, with polls showing the conservatives and the ruling Social Democrats running neck-and-neck ahead of elections that are likely to be the closest since the fall of communism.
The tight race reveals deep divisions in the Czech Republic over whether the nation needs bold reforms or the status quo, and follows similarly close and bruising elections in Germany, Poland and Italy.
With both sides ruling out a "grand coalition" like the one that eventually prevailed in Germany last year, the winner here will probably be forced to form a weak government with little mandate to carry out its vision.
The centre-right Civic Democratic Party of Mirek Topolanek is seeking to oust Prime Minister Jiri Paroubek's Social Democrats, who have been in power for the past eight years.
The conservatives are pushing for major changes like a flat tax and reforms in the EU. But they stand almost no chance of governing alone even if they win the elections for the 200-seat lower chamber of parliament.
Topolanek says he would most likely seek an alliance with the small centre-right Christian Democratic Party, now a member of Paroubek's ruling coalition - and has ruled out teaming up with the Socialists.
The turnout, lower and lower each election since the collapse of communism in 1989, also may play a role in the elections.
Paroubek and Topolanek addressed voters in last-minute appeals published by the daily Mlada Fronta Dnes Friday.
More than 5,000 candidates from 26 political parties and coalitions will compete in the elections and preliminary results were expected on Saturday.

"I'm sure that the Czech Republic will have a stable and strong coalition government very soon," Sobotka said during Friday's ceremony.
His government is expected to be sworn in by the end of January.
Sobotka said he planned to meet Zeman again on Monday to present him with proposals for government posts.
The Social Democrats will get eight ministry posts, including foreign minister, in a government that is expected to have more pro-EU policies than the previous government led by the conservative and euro-sceptic Civic Democratic Party.
ANO will get six ministries with Babis - one of the country's richest businessmen - becoming finance minister.
The Christian Democrats will get three.
The new government's formation will end a political crisis triggered by the previous government's collapse over a spying and bribery scandal in June.

(26 Oct 2013) A special parliamentary election held in the Czech Republic left no party with a majority on Saturday, which could lead to protracted negotiations aimed at forming a coalition government.
The two-day election was called to end a political crisis triggered by the centre-right government's collapse in a whirlwind of allegations about corruption and marital infidelity.
With all the votes counted by the Czech Statistics Office, the left-wing Social Democrats won 20.45 percent, or 50 seats, in the 200-seat lower house of Parliament.
The party's ally, the Communists, finished third, receiving 14.91 percent of the vote, or 33 seats.
The new centrist ANO (Yes) movement, which campaigned on an anti-corruption ticket, finished in a surprisingly strong second place, with 18.65 percent, or 47 seats.
Bohuslav Sobotka, Leader of the Social Democratic Party, said his party was prepared to hold talks about forming a coalition with parties that made it into the lower house.
Sobotka later said it was disappointed by the election results.
The outcome was the worst election result for his party since 1993, when Czechoslovakia split into two countries: the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
The Communists had hoped to give the Social Democrats their tacit support in a government that would give the Communists a share of the power for the first time since the 1989 Velvet Revolution, which ended 40 years of communist rule in the country.
Andrej Babis, leader of the ANO movement, said it was now the responsibility of the country's president and Sobotka to form a coalition government.
He said the new government needed to tackle the widespread problem of poverty in the country.
On Saturday, Babis criticised a plan by the Social Democrats to increase corporate and personal income taxes for those in the highest bracket.
In the republic, Parliament's lower house dominates the legislative process, and the leader of its strongest party is generally asked by the president to try to form a new government.
But that is not expected to be easy this time, given the election result for the top seven parties of the 24 that competed in the election.
The election was called after Prime Minister Petr Necas' centre-right coalition broke down in June amid a spy scandal and corruption allegations.
They included the arrest of Jana Nagyova, Necas' closest aide, with whom he was having an affair.
She is suspected of bribery and ordering a military intelligence agency to spy on Necas' then estranged wife.
Necas has since divorced his wife, Radka, and married Nagyova.
Necas' conservative Civic Democrats party was clearly punished by voters, receiving just 7.72 percent of the vote, or 16 seats.
Another conservative member of the former government, the TOP 09 party, captured 11.99 percent of the vote, or 26 seats.
The new populist Dawn of Direct Democracy movement got 6.88 percent, while Christian Democrats returned to Parliament after a three-year absence with 6.78 percent. Both those parties now have 14 seats.
The Social Democrats said they are ready to open negotiations about forming a new government with any party except the Civic Democrats and the TOP 09 party.

With all the votes counted by the Czech Statistics Office, the left-wing Social Democrats won 20.45 percent, or 50 seats, in the 200-seat lower house of Parliament.
The party's ally, the Communists, finished third, receiving 14.91 percent of the vote, or 33 seats.
The new centrist ANO (Yes) movement, which campaigned on an anti-corruption ticket, finished in a surprisingly strong second place, with 18.65 percent, or 47 seats.
Bohuslav Sobotka, Leader of the Social Democratic Party, said his party was prepared to hold talks about forming a coalition with parties that made it into the lower house.
Sobotka later said it was disappointed by the election results.
The outcome was the worst election result for his party since 1993, when Czechoslovakia split into two countries: the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
The Communists had hoped to give the Social Democrats their tacit support in a government that would give the Communists a share of the power for the first time since the 1989 Velvet Revolution, which ended 40 years of communist rule in the country.
Andrej Babis, leader of the ANO movement, said it was now the responsibility of the country's president and Sobotka to form a coalition government.
He said the new government needed to tackle the widespread problem of poverty in the country.
On Saturday, Babis criticised a plan by the Social Democrats to increase corporate and personal income taxes for those in the highest bracket.
In the republic, Parliament's lower house dominates the legislative process, and the leader of its strongest party is generally asked by the president to try to form a new government.
But that is not expected to be easy this time, given the election result for the top seven parties of the 24 that competed in the election.
The election was called after Prime Minister Petr Necas' centre-right coalition broke down in June amid a spy scandal and corruption allegations.
They included the arrest of Jana Nagyova, Necas' closest aide, with whom he was having an affair.
She is suspected of bribery and ordering a military intelligence agency to spy on Necas' then estranged wife.
Necas has since divorced his wife, Radka, and married Nagyova.
Necas' conservative Civic Democrats party was clearly punished by voters, receiving just 7.72 percent of the vote, or 16 seats.
Another conservative member of the former government, the TOP 09 party, captured 11.99 percent of the vote, or 26 seats.
The new populist Dawn of Direct Democracy movement got 6.88 percent, while Christian Democrats returned to Parliament after a three-year absence with 6.78 percent. Both those parties now have 14 seats.
The Social Democrats said they are ready to open negotiations about forming a new government with any party except the Civic Democrats and the TOP 09 party.

(14 Dec 1997) T/I: 10:37:50
Outgoing Czech Prime Minister Vaclav Klaus on Sunday (14/12) fought off a challenger and was re-elected as head of the Civic Democratic Party (ODS) on a pledge to lead it back to power. Klaus swept the first-round ballot by 227 votes to 72 for his only challenger, former interior minister Jan Ruml, at a special party congress in Podebrady, 50 kilometres (31 miles) east of Prague. The ODS was the main party in the centre-right ruling coalition which collapsed two weeks ago amid accusations that it received illegal funding.

What were the outcomes of Czech elections? Can they serve as inspiration for other Central European liberal democracies? While these are the key topics of the webinar, the participants also discussed their perspectives on the new Czech government and the nature of the Andrij Babis government. As this debate is taking place almost 10 years after the death of Václav Havel, the discussion also considered whether Havel’s legacy continues to be meaningful in the country, and whether it can still inspire Central European democrats.
Speakers:
Petra Guasti, Assistant Professor, Faculty of Social Sciences, Charles University; Senior Research Fellow, Institute of Sociology, Czech Academy of Sciences
Petra Gümplová, Team Leader, “Structural Change of Property” project, University of Jena
Daniel Hegedüs, Visiting Fellow for Central Europe, German Marshall Fund
Jiří Přibáň, Professor of Law, Cardiff University
Moderator: Michal Matlak, Managing Editor, Review of Democracy

Description: The Czech Republic is a unitary parliamentary constitutional republic, in which the President is the head of state and the Prime Minister is the head of government. Executive power is exercised by the Government of the Czech Republic which reports to the lower house of Parliament. The Legislature is bicameral, with the Chamber of Deputies consisting of 200 members and the Senate consisting of 81 members. Both houses together make up the Parliament of the Czech Republic. The political system of the Czech Republic is a multi-party system. Since 1993, the two largest parties were Czech Social Democratic Party and Civic Democratic Party . This model changed in early 2014, with the rise of a new political party ANO 2011 which led to weakening of both major parties. The Economist Intelligence Unit has rated the Czech Republic as "flawed democracy" in 2016.
