A new turn of events in the Czech governmental crisis

Former dissident Petr Uhl approves the decision of Miroslav Kalousek, leader of the Christian Democrats, to join a government which is dependent on the support of the Communist Party. "With his decision he is contributing to improving the political situation. Now Martin Bursik, leader of the Greens, is the only one who still opposes the idea of a communist- backed government. But the Social Democrats and Christian Democrats don't need the Greens. They already have enough votes to form a government… The Christian Democrats have given up their resistance to the left and its social policies. Since yesterday the country's future looks more democratic and less anti-communist."
