Unexpected fall of coalition in the Czech Republic

The central coalition coalition in the Czech Republic has fallen less than six months before the parliamentary elections.

Sobotka said on television that he was trying to create a way out of the political crisis with this step. He is going to President Milos Zeman on Friday to offer his resignation. Zeman has the last word about it, but there is no deadline for that. The Czechs will go to the polls on 20 and 21 October to divide seats in the new House of Representatives.
