The first Czech town to have Havel Street will be Kadan in northern Bohemia.
It is noteworthy that this street is now called Fucik Street, Sidlo points out, referring to controversial Czech communist journalist and writer Julius Fucik.
Czech towns got rid of streets named after Fucik shortly after the 1989 Velvet Revolution but Kadan waited two decades to make the change.
Moreover, the Havel Street in Kadan will be officially renamed only in July after its reconstruction, Sidlo says.
Only a few people now believe the leaders of the junior government Public Affairs (VV) and most were waiting for the party to reveal what it really wants to achieve by its fight against the state-church property settlement, Martin Zverina writes in Lidove noviny.
It was typical that the VV´s reservations against the return of property to the churches were presented by their MP Katerina Klasnova who had been one of the members of the commission that prepared the property settlement, Zverina writes.
It turned out on Monday that the VV want a cabinet reshuffle resulting in the departure of Interior Minister Jan Kubice (unaffiliated, he replaced VV chairman Radek John) and the moving of the environmental agenda under the Local Development Ministry headed by Kamil Jankovsky (VV), Zverina says.
VV´s statements about a reduction of government ministries and savings were only a pretext, he says.
VV´s blackmailing may be understood as an attempt at influencing the investigation of the case of VV strongman Vit Barta suspected of bribe offering, Zverina writes.
Public Affairs hope to increase their small popularity by criticising the plan to return Czech churches the property that was taken away from them under the communist regime because, Martin Komarek says in Mlada fronta Dnes.
As the Czech state is poor and the churches are unpopular, the VV believed that this step will improve its image, Komarek writes.
When the other coalition parties, Civic Democrats (ODS) and TOP 09, pointed to the fact that the coalition has already agreed on the church-state property settlement, the VV had even a wildest idea: the government is as unpopular as the church and let us reduce the number of the government ministries in order to cover the costs of the financial compensation for churches, Komarek says.
It is difficult to say what is more ridiculous: the VV plan for a strange cabinet reshuffle or the case of Barta suspected of bribing MPs of his own party into loyalty, Komarek writes. Author: CTK
