On Friday, Professor Paces handed to Topolanek a brief report on the results of the commission's work. "Irrespective of the expectations of both the Greens and liberals, it clearly ensues from the text that unless the government makes a fundamental decision within a foreseeable future, the stability of Czech energy is temporary.
Everything based on expert arguments," Matyas writes. The Czech Republic's energy future pushes the junior government Green Party of Martin Bursik into isolation, Martin Zverina writes elsewhere in Lidove noviny when commenting on the Greens' negative stand on nuclear energy which others see as the sole Czech PM Topolanek dismisses abuse of power allegations ...
EU Greens soften their stand on U.S. radar in CzechRep - Bursik ...
Czech PM presents Czech EU presidency priorities in Greece ... possibility of feeding enough energy to the Czechs. Zverina writes that the other parties all of which support nuclear energy may be telling people before the next elections that were it not for the Greens and their ideology, energy would not be more and more expensive. "This may break the neck of the Greens, a political grouping with an unclearly defined electorate," Zverina writes. The negligible Green Party is an insurmountable problem for the government of Mirek Topolanek (Civic Democrats, ODS) where energy sources are concerned, Jiri Franek writes in Pravo. Topolanek can make a choice. Either he will obey Greens chairman Martin Bursik and his deputy Dana Kuchtova, or he will have to fulfil his promise from autumn 2006 that he will bring the country to early elections, Franek writes. Martin Komarek writes in Mlada fronta Dnes that Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek likes the nuclear power plant in Temelin, south Bohemia, but he likes the government even more. "Being realistically-minded, he knows how far (Greens chairman Martin) Bursik can retreat from the green dogma (not to use nuclear energy) and where the point at which he would already fall into the abyss lies," Komarek writes.
