The Czech Republic will hold an election on October 25-26, President Milos Zeman officially announced on Friday. The ballot will end a period of political stalemate triggered by a corruption and spying scandal that unseated the previous center-right cabinet in June. Opinion polls show the center-left Social Democrats will be the biggest party in the new parliament, Reuters reported. Their leader, Bohuslav Sobotka, has said his party could rule in a minority government, supported by the Communist Party or other factions. It would be the first time since the 1989 Velvet Revolution that the Communist party could have a direct impact on government policies. - death - rt news - august 23rd 2013
