Czech opposition attacks govt over reform package

The Czech centre-right coalition government of Prime Minister Petr Necas behaves hypocritically when implementing its reform package, Bohuslav Sobotka, leader of the opposition Social Democrats said in the Senate on Tuesday. He said low income groups would pay dearly for the reform steps, while senior government officials were being paid hefty bonuses. Sobotka was speaking at a public hearing in the Senate on a petition against the government reform and for the departure of the Necas government.
