The Chamber of Deputies on Thursday voted against lifting Communist MP Zdeněk Ondráček’s immunity, as requested by the police, to pursue a criminal case of defamation against him. The police were acting on a complaint by former Presidential candidate Michal Horáček against Ondráček. Horacek filed the case in response to Ondráček’s claims during the Presidential campaign, that Horáček was a collaborator of the Communist secret police (STB).
