Confidence vote in Czech government set for June 7

Prague - The Czech Republic's caretaker government of Prime Minister Jan Fischer is to face a confidence vote in the parliament's lower house on June 7, the CTK news agency reported Tuesday, citing House Speaker Miloslav Vlcek. In a bid not to turn the vote into an election campaign event, the motion is to take place after the Czechs finish electing members of the European Parliament, the report said, citing Vlcek. On May 8, the Fischer-led cabinet of technocrats replaced the three-party center-right government of former prime minister Mirek Topolanek, which had been trounced in a parliamentary no-confidence vote on March 24 after a protracted period of domestic squabbling. The interim cabinet is to govern until early polls in mid-October and its chief goals are to finish the Czech Republic's six-month rotating presidency of the European Union which ends June 30 and to draft a strict budget amid the global economic crisis.
