06.05.2008 - Some Czech Communists want to radically change party policy - MP
However, the efforts for the party's "new Bolshevisation" are very marginal, Kovacik stressed ahead of the Czech junior govt KDU-CSL not to elect new head at congress ...
Plan of Czech scientific parks depends on EU subsidies ... KSCM congress to be held in Hradec Kralove, east Bohemia, on May 17-18 that will elect a new leadership.
Primarily, the KSCM Prague organisations would like to abandon the platform, adopted at the congress in Kladno, central Bohemia, in 1992, and discuss a brand new programme, Kovacik added.
Delegates to the Kladno congress rejected "the arbitrary rule" of the pre-November 1989 communist elites and adopted a new political platform that is sometimes referred to as "democratic communism."
Though the new programme had many opponents in the party, the next congress in Prostejov, south Moravia, held only six months later, confirmed it.
KSCM MEP Miloslav Ransdorf, who wants to run for party chairman, and KSCM deputy head Jiri Dolejs are the major advocates of the ideological programme from the Kladno congress that they both outlined.
Current KSCM chairman Vojtech Filip, who will defend his post, today also supported the programme of the Kladno congress.
Filip, who is considered the election favourite, however, said the party must also take a stance on the current changes.
Filip and Kovacik today confirmed that, apart from Filip and Ransdorf, the KSCM district organisations also nominated former party leader Miroslav Grebenicek and deputies Stanislav Grospic and Sona Markova as candidates for new head.
A total of 20 candidates, including five women, will run for KSCM deputy chairpersons.
