Former Czech Constitutional Court Chairman Pavel Rychetský has defended the court against accusations of political activism. In an interview with Czech Television, Rychetský asserted that the court’s role is inherently political, specifically resolving disputes between state institutions. He stated that criticism of the court demonstrates a misunderstanding of its function. Rychetský emphasized the court does not choose which cases to hear, but rather must address all legitimate submissions brought before it. He argued the court’s decisions are based on legal principles applied to politically charged conflicts. This response comes amid ongoing debate regarding the court’s influence and impartiality in recent rulings. Rychetský’s comments aim to clarify the court’s position within the Czech political system.
