The Civic Democrats expressed dismay at their inability to remove renegade and former party member Vaclav Klaus Jr., as the Chair of the Committee on Science, Education, Culture, Youth and Sport in the Chamber of Deputies.
According to Czech Television, the ODS nominated Martin Baxa to replace Klaus Jr., during Tuesday’s committee meeting, but Baxa did not get enough votes, to ensure his election as Chair, in a secret ballot.
The ODS alleged that Klaus was being supported by members of ANO, SPD and the Communists, and ANO was not keeping its word.
