Machova euroskeptická strana požádala o registraci
Prague - The new Czech right-wing Eurosceptical party, the Party of Free Citizens (SSO), applied for its registration with the Interior Ministry today, Petr Mach, executive director of the Czech Centre for Economics and Politics (CEP) and the SSO's initiator, told CTK.
The preparatory committee that presented the party's priorities last week has already gathered the necessary 1000 signatures for the registration.
The SSO's programme priority will be the struggle against the Lisbon treaty to reform the EU institutions.
The Czech Republic is the only of the EU's 27 countries not to have taken a position on the Lisbon treaty so far.
Besides, the SSO wants to promote low taxes, the reduction of red tape, clean environment "without any extremist ideology," the development of nuclear energy and the halting of biofuel production at the cost of food.
The party is also willing to cooperate with the movement Libertas of Irish Lisbon treaty opponent Declan Ganley in preparations of the European Parliament (EP) elections scheduled for June.
Mach, who is also a close aide to President Vaclav Klaus, said during the presentation last week that the SSO is open to cooperation with Libertas or its Czech branch if it is established.
The SSO will have a jumping ram on a green field as its logo. Mach said the animal symbolises the path towards freedom and marks a new beginning.
