Czech government survives no-confidence vote The motion was brought by the leftist opposition which has criticized leaders for constant infighting and forcing through unpopular reforms. But it is the government’s plans to host a US missile defence base on Czech soil which have proved most unpopular with voters: “This government coalition has gambled its existence on the building of the radar base. If the plans for the base fall through, then the government will fall,” said a protestor outside the parliament building. This was the fourth no-confidence vote the cabinet has survived since it took office at the beginning of 2007. It comes just before Prague takes over the rotating presidency of the EU in January.
