	The Epoch Times \| Czech PM Gross Seen Losing Confidence Vote
		Gross, at 35 Europe's youngest prime minister, on Sunday made the surprise call for a confidence vote after having relied on the abstention of lawmakers from the opposition Communist party to survive a no-confidence vote in the lower house.
		Gross could tie a confidence vote to a piece of legislation that would be acceptable to the Communists.
		Analysts said Gross could be buying time to try to forge an agreement with the right-wing Civic Democrats- who called last Friday's no-confidence vote- on bringing forward elections that are now scheduled for the spring of 2006.

		Mr Gross, who has a reputation as a skillful negotiator, says he wants to keep the same two centre-right partners which backed the outgoing cabinet.
		There seems to be little love lost between the outgoing Mr Spidla and Mr Gross, with the now former prime minister saying he would be "hardly" likely to accept a post in a cabinet led by the young contender.
		Mr Gross was born in Prague, where he worked briefly as a trainee railway technician after finishing school.

		It was carrying the then police minister, Stanislav Gross, who this week found himself appointed the youngest Czech prime minister ever, and at the age of 34, the youngest head of government in Europe.
		Gross, too, is a social democrat, joining the party at the time of the Velvet Revolution of 1989 and quickly advancing to lead its youth wing, before moving into parliament, becoming chief whip, and then serving as interior minister or minister for the police for the past four years.
		It was Stanislav, as interior minister, who ordered the purchase of 18 Audis for government ministers to race around in, mindless of the law of the land.

		Stanislav Gross first made his mark in politics when he was elected chairman of the Young Social Democrats in 1990.
		Unfortunately for Mr Gross, his government's slender one-seat majority in Parliament means that he cannot take a strong stance against his party opponents, as he needs their votes to stay in power.
		Mr Gross is not able to deal with them effectively when the party is in power because he needs them - he needs their support in the parliament and so on.

	Arellanes.com » The End of Act 1
		The Czech government of PM Stanislav Gross survived its vote of no confidence today thanks to the tacit support of the unreformed Communists, whose 44 members abstained from voting, leaving the opposition Civic Democrats (ODS) and Christian Democrats (KDU-ČSL) without enough votes to bring it down.
		I do not consider today’s Parliament vote as a replacement for the 101 signatures I used as the basis for entrusting Stanislav Gross with forming a government last year, nor is it - an absolute necessity in the new situation - a confirmation of a majority mandate for the dissolution of Gross’ weakened government.
		Gross isn’t the only one who’s made this mistake - it’s been near-impossible for the ODS to move out of Klaus’ shadow - but at some point the bigwigs will have to come to the realization that it’s in their long-term interest to create working systems, as opposed to strong individuals.

		Gross bought the place when he was just a lowly backbencher MP, and not the PM, mind you.
		Gross’ first answer was something like ‘it was from savings and a mortgage.” Then there were numerous explanations for where the money for the apartment came from.
		Gross then says that to show he’s clean, he’s going to undergo a security clearance check, a process that conveniently could take up to a year to complete.

		Gross, who recently finished law school, is often called a leader of an anti-Zeman bloc in the CSSD that includes Petra Buzkova, who resigned as the party's deputy chairwoman over the way Zeman conducted his Cabinet reshuffle last month.

		Gross finally got a break after a former deputy from the opposition Civic Democrats (ODS) gave his support and one of the two US-DEU rebels quit the parliament, allowing for his replacement with an alternate who favors the continuation of the status quo.
		Nonetheless, Gross does not have much time to renew the CSSD’s support, given the upcoming elections to the Senate and the regional administration, both of which are scheduled for November 5-6.
