Some 80 people protest against U.S. radar in CzechRep

(Czech News Agency Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge) Pardubice, East Bohemia, March 3 (CTK) - Some 80 people met in Pardubice today at a protest rally against the stationing of a U.S. radar defence base in the Czech Republic, Jitka Vavrinova from the local police informed CTK. Primarily people who do not live in Pardubice took part in the demonstration, organised by the Food Not Bombs movement, she added. "Local people did not show interest in the demonstration, they did not join it," Vavrinova said, adding that no incidents occurred during the one and a half hour protest. Several similar demonstrations have been staged in the Czech Republic in the past few weeks. Hundreds of opponents met outside the Government Office in Prague on February 13, for instance. The USA would also like to build a missile defence base in Poland that would be interconnected with a radar system placed in the Czech Republic, on the military training grounds Brdy, southwest of Prague. Both bases would be part of the U.S. missile defence shield. The Czech-U.S. talks on the construction of the base will last for about one year. The possible agreement would have to be approved by the parliament or by citizens in a referendum. The government Civic Democrats (ODS) and the Christian Democrats (KDU-CSL) support the idea of a U.S. radar base in the Czech Republic, while the opposition left-wing parties, the Social Democrats (CSSD) and the Communists (KSCM) reject it. The junior ruling Greens (SZ) would agree with the base only if it were part of the NATO defence system. hol/dr
