Dubček had come armed with a batch of petitions from workers, students and other Czechoslovaks who called for the dismissal from the committee of Novotný's entire faction. He warned the committee that the party's capacity for action was threatened by "those forces who by words recognize the correctness of the new policy, but have not yet overcome their old opinions."
