EU Federalist fears that President Klaus will act constitutionally

As President of the Czech republic and lone national euro-sceptic leader, President Klaus, is now required to nominate an individual to try and form another democratic government. One would not imagine that this is the normal procedure now unfolding according to the euro-federalist web site Euractiv, linked here ,which hysterically reports from the Czech Press as follows:

Czech President Václav Klaus might push through his own idea for a new cabinet, which could take "anti-EU" and other controversial steps aimed at killing the Lisbon Treaty in tune with the prominent Eurosceptic's views, a Czech commentator warned yesterday (1 April).

Although it sounds like an April Fools hoax, the scenario is realistic, Czech sources confirmed. Columnist Jiri Leschtina writes in the Prague-based daily 'Hospodárske noviny' that although Klaus assured the public he would appoint a new government on which parties in parliament would agree, a different scenario will more likely emerge.

According to this hidden agenda, no progress in negotiations will be made in the next few days. Then, in a week's time, Klaus will ask one of "his men" to form a cabinet. The PM-designate will form an "Easter government" with which Klaus will be in close contact. The cabinet will then ask the lower house to express confidence in it, Leschtina writes.

The apparently EU preferred alternative is a negation of democracy and governance by appointees (just as in the EU itself) as this post of yesterday made clear.
