The dispute over President Petr Pavel's participation in the NATO summit in Ankara continues. Foreign Minister Petr Macinka of the Motorists party stated that he will announce the definitive composition of the Czech delegation on Monday after the government meeting. He insists that the delegation will be led by Prime Minister Andrej Babiš, but refused to say clearly whether the president had also been accredited. e15.cz ↗
The Constitutional Court had earlier ordered the government, through a preliminary measure, to include Pavel among the summit's participants. Pavel stated that the head of state automatically leads the delegation and will decide for himself which parts of the negotiations he will attend. Macinka criticized the court's approach and, according to recent articles, was also considering whether to defy the ruling. Former Constitutional Court chairman Pavel Rychetský said the court is trying to prevent an escalation of the dispute between the government and the president. idnes.cz ↗
Former president Václav Klaus, once Macinka's mentor, also joined the debate earlier. He described the Constitutional Court's approach as activism and an attempt to rewrite the separation of powers. The European Democratic Party from the Renew group has now criticized Babiš's government over the Motorists' statements about the Constitutional Court and placed responsibility on the prime minister. forum24.cz ↗
At the same time, Macinka is facing criticism over his appearance at the International Folklore Festival in Strážnice, where he and Culture Minister Ota Klempíř were booed. The opposition described their behavior as a provocation, and the association Milion chvilek launched a petition calling for Klempíř's dismissal. Further developments will be determined by the government's Monday position on the delegation and the continuation of the jurisdictional dispute. reflex.cz ↗
