One Czech firm wants to pay its employees a part of their wages in euros, or rather in euros converted to crowns according Zeman's Friends oppose dubious practices in Czech politics ...
Czech PM says Education Minister manages problematic sector ...
Czech, US experts close talks on industrial cooperation agreement ... to valid exchange rates, Lschtina writes. He says if it succeeds, other firms may follow face to face to the firming crown. To introduce the salaries and wages in euros is of course no panacea.
But the more so "we can agree with the opinions that if something really helped firms, it would be the setting of a concrete date of introduction of the European single currency," Leschtina writes. The threatened firms could then better calculate various variants of investment, " Leschtina writes. The decision of Czech Education Minister Ondrej Liska to run for the post of Greens Party (SZ) chairman Martin Bursik's first deputy, that is the post of Dana Kuchtova at present, shows that Liska is no idealist," Alexandr Mitrofanov writes in Pravo today. "To come close to Bursik as much as possible and at the same time not to lead the party is a promising position, actually the starting point for the future chairmanship of the Greens," Mitrofanov writes. He says Bursik, environment minister in the centre-right coalition government, is to be expected to win at the September extraordinary congress and to further improve his reputation for the rest of the government term (until 2010) and become a symbol of opportunism. Liska who seemingly continues along the same path, markedly differs from his chief, Mitrofanov writes. He says Bursik, in order to remain in government, accepts almost everything, while Liska has been opposed to the planned U.S. radar on Czech soil since the very beginning. "To have such a firm position is unusual in this country. Liska may use this any time as a trump that to a certain degree balances off the service to this coalition," Mitrofanov writes. It is rather awkward to want to punish a party member who holds no post in the party for lobbying for President Vaclav Klaus in the February presidential election, David Klimes writes in Hospodarske noviny about the effort of opposition Social Democrat (CSSD) chairman Jiri Paroubek's effort to get rid of lobbyist Miroslav Slouf. Klimes writes that Slouf is no deputy who does not observe his party's election manifesto, but a person without any post who says something else than the current party leadership. This should not be punishable in a democratic party, let alone in a large one having many factions, Klimes writes. He says the ritual expelling proves the party tops fear opinions, and what is more, its effect is only short-lived.
