The Czech environmental group Hnutí Duha (Rainbow Movement) has filed lawsuits against Foreign Minister Petr Macinka and MP Filip Turek, both affiliated with the Motorist party. The suits allege that statements made by the two politicians damage the organization’s reputation and contribute to societal division. Hnutí Duha claims Macinka failed to apologize for comments linking the group to terrorism, while Turek did not retract claims falsely connecting the organization’s activities to fatalities during recent floods. Turek responded by suggesting the lawsuit stems from concerns about potential impacts on the group’s funding. Macinka dismissed the legal action as a publicity stunt by Hnutí Duha. The organization seeks redress for the alleged defamation and aims to protect its public image.
