Czech Republic: Prime Minister Babiš also attacked the Constitutional Court and Rychetský

According to him, the prime minister does not believe that the parties will quickly agree on a new form of the law. He claims that the decision of the CC was politically motivated and is another step towards its elimination.

He said, it's another way to remove Babiš from politics.

He called on Rychetsky to comment on whether he would run for president with the support of the STAN movement.

Babiš also pointed out that the current chairman of the Constitutional Court was one of the authors of the current form of the law. In this context, he also quoted the words with which Rychetský submitted the proposal in the Senate, where he spoke of democracy as a majority government, in which the minority must have a chance to become a majority.

Babiš recalled the arguments put forward by President Miloš Zeman against the change in the law. He also quoted from the dissenting opinion of four judges who did not agree with the verdict of colleagues and pointed to the timing and alleged lack of time to prepare an opinion.

ike some other politicians, he was surprised that the current regulation could apply for two decades.

The Constitutional Court granted the complaints of a group of senators STAN, KDU-ČSL and TOP 09 and repealed part of the electoral law. It will be enough for electoral coalitions made up of several parties or movements, as well as for individual parties, to exceed five percent of the vote. The advantage of the winner of the election in the allocation of seats should also end.

The court said The establishment of closing clauses for coalitions of political parties was found by the Constitutional Court to be in conflict with the Constitution.

The court also deleted in the paragraphs regulating the determination of the number of deputies in the regions and the course of the scrutiny, ie the distribution of seats. The finding has no time delay, so it will fall on this year's autumn parliamentary elections. According to ÚS, there is enough time for a change.
