Klaus called the decision surprising and purposeful. “It fundamentally influences the preparation and conduct of the upcoming elections and has unequal effects on individual electoral subjects. In any case, the change forced by the Constitutional Court will bring weaker governments, more chaotic coalitions and a more fragmented political scene, “says the former president.

Klaus attributed the current form of the law to the chairman of ÚS Pavel Rychetský, which was previously questioned by ÚS judge Jan Filip, pointing out that the final form of the norm is signed by the legislators who intervened in the proposal.

The ex-president also claims that the CC “disrupted the electoral system” and rebuked the judges for not behaving with restraint and conservative.
–
“On the contrary, they involved their institution in a political struggle and became one of the active political players. This will have serious consequences for the Constitutional Court itself in the future, and its politicization is sealed by this step, “said Klaus.

The decision was also criticized by President Miloš Zeman, who warned that if no agreement could be found on a new form of law, there would be a risk of an “unsolvable crisis”.
