The Czech Republic faces an unprecedented constitutional case against its most senior official after a landmark vote to impeach the conservative president for treason. President Klaus will now be referred to the constitutional court to defend a number of accusations including charges stemming from his New Year’s Day amnesty, under which several dozen high-profile corruption cases were halted. The Senate is dominated by leftist opponents of Mr Klaus and he leaves office anyway on Thursday.
经过里程碑式弹劾保守派总统叛国的投票之后,捷克共和国面临对其最高级官员前所未有的宪法案件。克劳斯总统现在将被移交至宪法法庭,面临一系列指控,其中包括新年特赦令,几十名腐败高官将被赦免罪行。参议院由克劳斯的左翼对手掌控,无论如何总统都将在周四下台。
