Prague, Aug 15 (CTK) – Civic Democrat (ODS) chairman Petr Fiala criticises ODS MP Vaclav Klaus Jr. for supporting the candidacy of Ladislav Jakl, former close aide to his father, ex-president Vaclav Klaus, to the Senate for the anti-EU Freedom and Direct Democracy (SPD), daily Hospodarske noviny (HN) writes today.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Klaus Jr expressed support for Jakl, who headed the political section of the Presidential Office during Klaus’s presidency (2003-2013), though the ODS had fielded its own candidate, actor Vladimir Kratina, in the same Senate ward in Prague 2.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“He would definitely be an incorruptible, free-thinking and right-wing senator,” Klaus Jr. wrote about Jakl.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fiala usually does not react to Klaus Jr’s statements, but this time, he expressed his disagreement, conveyed by the ODS spokeswoman.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“Vaclav Klaus Jr.’s support of the ODS’s rival candidate for senator is not in harmony with the party’s stance,” Fiala said.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Moreover, Klaus Jr backed up Jakl’s candidacy for the anti-immigration populist movement of Tomio Okamura shortly after he made his fellow party members annoyed by his challenging the Czech participation in the military mission in Afghanistan where a suicide bomber killed three Czech soldiers recently.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The ODS is one of the major supporters of the Czech troops’ deployment in Afghanistan.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“Czech soldiers can be fighting and dying in other countries with the consent of the government and parliament. However, this should have some clear reason and goal. I am sorry, I cannot see them in Afghanistan,” Klaus wrote on Monday.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

ODS military expert Jana Cernochova stood up against his words resolutely, but she did not make him change his view.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“I do not have a feeling that I have done anything wrong,” Klaus Jr. told HN, in reaction to a question about his comment on the Afghan mission<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Klaus Jr. has a quite firm position in the ODS thanks to his strong voter support. He received 22,600 preferential votes in the last October general election.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

However, now it seems that he went too far. ODS deputy chairman Martin Kupka announced that the party would deal with Vaclav Klaus, junior’s opinions, HN writes.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
