The Prague Municipal Court ruled on Monday, in a decision that is not yet legally binding, that MP Filip Turek of the Motoristé sobě movement must apologize to the environmental organization Hnutí Duha. The court dealt with statements he shared on Facebook in April. irozhlas.cz ↗
According to available information, Turek linked Hnutí Duha to the deaths of people during the floods two years ago. He also called the organization "parasites." It is specifically for these statements that he is to publicly apologize to it. The ruling is not yet final. forum24.cz ↗
Hnutí Duha filed the lawsuit at the end of June. The legal dispute concerned statements that the organization considered an impermissible violation of its reputation. Monday's verdict relates to Turek's comments about the environmental movement and its alleged role in the consequences of the floods. seznamzpravy.cz ↗
Turek serves as an MP for Motoristé sobě. In connection with the case, he was also referred to as the government commissioner for climate policy. Details about the exact wording of the apology or the deadline for its publication are not known. novinky.cz ↗
Because the judgment is not yet legally binding, the parties to the proceedings may file an appeal against it. Further developments will thus depend on whether either side appeals the decision.
