The Czech Bar Association on Tuesday joined the criticism of Prime Minister Andrej Babiš's statements about the Czech judiciary. It described his remarks as inappropriate and unsuitable. At the same time, it expressed support for the Judges' Union, which had also objected to the prime minister's words. irozhlas.cz ↗

According to the criticism, Babiš questioned the functioning of the judiciary and spoke of an alleged mafia. He also claimed that courts rule without evidence. The Czech Bar Association thus rejected the way in which the prime minister spoke about the work of the courts and other actors in the judiciary. seznamzpravy.cz ↗

With its stance, the Chamber joined the institutions and representatives who reacted with disapproval to Babiš's statements. Its statement follows the position of the Judges' Union and broadens the public criticism of the prime minister's assessment of the judicial power. forum24.cz ↗

The event represents another dispute between the prime minister and representatives of the legal professions. It has not yet been indicated whether Babiš will respond to the criticism from the Czech Bar Association and the Judges' Union, or whether he will clarify his statements. Attention is now focused on further reactions from political representatives and institutions operating within the judiciary.
