Paroubek promises higher wages, resolute struggle against crime.
(From Czech News Agency)
PRAGUE, Jan 1 (CTK) - Prime Minister Jiri Paroubek (Social Democrats, CSSD) has promised an uncompromising struggle against corruption and serious crime as well as further raising of the standards of living in 2006, in a speech he made shortly before midnight on New Year's Eve.
In the speech, broadcast by the parliament's television broadcaster 24.cz, Paroubek also pointed out the advantages of Czech membership of the European Union.
He said he is set to push through radical changes in legislation, in police as well as in the court system, that will be a guarantee of "a drive against corrupt people."
"I want new effective changes to be made in the whole organisational and personnel structure of the police as well as the judiciary with the aim to at last attain a fundamental breakthrough. We must rid our country of criminal elements and their hotbed," Paroubek said.
He mentioned the cases of two prosecuted businessmen, Radovan Krejcir and Viktor Kozeny.
The former escaped during a police search of his villa in June and now he and his family stay in the Seychelles, the latter has been taken into custody in the Bahamas.
