European Parliament election, 2004 (Czech Republic)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The first elections to the European Parliament after the EU accession were held in the Czech Republic on June 11 and June 12, 2004. On a very low turnout, the ruling Czech Social Democratic Party suffered a heavy defeat, losing ground to both the conservative Civic Democratic Party and the Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia.
Debacle of his party was one of reasons for resignation of Prime Minister Vladimír Špidla.
