Czech Republic: Euroskeptic President Re-elected

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Published: February 16, 2008

President Vaclav Klaus, a center-right conservative, was narrowly re-elected to a five-year term with the support of 141 lawmakers in Parliament. He needed 140 votes for re-election. His main rival was Jan Svejnar, a Czech-born economics professor at the University of Michigan. Mr. Klaus disputes assertions that human activity is to blame for global warming and is a fierce Euroskeptic. The Czech Republic takes over the European Union’s rotating presidency early next year.
