Ceska republika a.s.
2010-06-24
The devil is in the details, but the details of agreeing on a new
government have actually obscured the fundamental question of
who is going to be in control of Česká republika a.s. once the
new cabinet is formed. Now that the coalition parties have
agreed on many of the boring details and have finally started
fighting in public over the individual ministries, the battle lines
between the various interest groups are becoming visible. As
several analysts argued before the elections, including Jiří Pehe
in Právo, Petr Nečas will only be allowed to remain as PM as long
as he doesn't get in the way of his party's special-interest
brotherhoods. To make matters worse, Nečas must also now
contend with the brotherhoods behind TOP 09 and VV. For the
first time in several weeks, the chances that a new coalition
government will be formed seem to have actually fallen. Even if a
new government is agreed, it won't be entirely clear who is in
control, because Česká republika a.s. has bearer shares that
dead-end in a lawyer's office in the Seychelles.
