Klaus must follow a wait and watch strategy before taking any step

The Czech Republican political scene has been quite erratic since the 1989 revolution. So it came as no surprise when on March 24, Prime Minister Mirek Topolánek's government lost the no-confidence vote in the Parliament. Losing the fifth no-confidence vote for the Civic Democratic Party (ODS), Christian Democratic Party (KDU-CSL) and Green Party (SZ) coalition (since it took power in January 2007), has also jeopardised the country's international reputation and worsened the pressing domestic issues. The government had to go through the whole exercise after one of its member shifted loyalties from ODS to the leftist Social Democratic party. The government lost the vote of confidence by just one vote.

To keep the tension in the country at bay, both the left wing and the right wing parties have now agreed to hold early elections. “There was an agreement on holding early election, but not on a date yet,” says Jana Bartosova, Spokeswoman, ODS. Czech Republic is currently sitting on the post of EU presidency and the political trouble brewing within the country would have an implication on how it handles its responsibilities in EU. And that too when the Czech presidency of EU has always been questioned from day one. Its stand to not ratify the Lisbon Treaty has been looked down by many EU members.

In such a scenario, it leaves President Vaclav Klaus with only one solution – to find the new government as soon as possible. But while Klaus looks for a quick fix solution, the problem is that none of the big parties are strong enough to form government. For now, Klaus must allow the situation to carry on as it is and take some step only after the EU presidency term ends in June this year.
