She said Luzny is a personality who would be able to lead the ministry as a “green-controlled one.”

Kuchtova has also talked to Zubova, a member of the lower house’s education committee and deputy head of the SZ group of deputies.

The nationalists with state flags and posters reading slogans such as “Stop democratic dictatorship” set off for the town centre at around 2:00 p.m., chanting “nothing but nation” and “labour, discipline, courage.”

Several tens of police officers monitored the event but no intervention was needed as no incident disturbed the two-hour demonstration.

The Kladno municipality had permitted the demonstration. Mayor Dan Jiranek said there are no legal means for municipalities to prevent similar rallies.

The police detained one of the extremists who caused an incident still before the demonstration could start.

It ensued from the meeting that the Czech Republic is interested in cooperating with the USA and also in the U.S. presence in Europe, and that it views the USA as its main strategic ally, Petr Kolar, Czech ambassador to the USA who attended the meeting, has told CTK.

Prague views both its EU membership and the maintenance of its close partnership relations with the USA as important, Kolar said.

The defence radar issue is a process under its own democratic rules, Kolar quoted Klaus as saying at the meeting.

Klaus said it is necessary to address the Czech public that has taken a rather negative …

In both his addresses and life, Havel “has used the strength of his free and liberating word to credibly uncover the emptied, standardised use of speech in dictatorship regimes,” the committee said.

Havel, a thinker and playwright who turns 71 next month, was a leading dissident in the communist …
