Grumblings in Prague

Although the Czech Social Democrats (CSSD) support the Brussels agreement, according to the CTK agency, CSSD leader Jiri Paroubek still wants a referendum.

The Social Democrats, says the agency, "first of all appreciate that the reform treaty retains the basis of the EU constitution" and that the summit agreed on the mandate for an inter-governmental conference. He said that the Czech government would discuss the mandate in the parliament and would take into account the position of the senior opposition Social Democrats.
