Marek Benda: 20 minutes radiožurnál: Politics will not change the courts, but the decision of the electorate,(Radiožurnál ) The Constitutional Court rejected the proposals of President Miloš Zeman and parts of the Members for the repeal of the amendment to the Conflict of Interest Act, which is called lex Babiš.

Marek Benda, chairman of the Constitutional Legal Committee of the Chamber of Deputies of the ODS, welcomes such a decision, although he himself is not an enthusiast of the law and sees it as an attempt to please the public. You can listen to the full interview with Mark Benda at The Radiožurnál Radiojournalism." The Constitutional Court merely upheld, in places and in relatively strong sentences, that the democratic rule of law has the right to prevent individual persons from trying to usurp it for their own benefit," says Marek Benda.He previously felt complete as a potentially weak spot in the law. the prohibition of media ownership, on the other hand, the prohibition on public procurement, investment incentives and subsidies is clear and clear.' If any mayor did this, they'd blow him out of the village, only Andrej Babiš here can create such incredible fog around him thanks to the ownership of his media that it almost looks like it's allowed," he stresses. The contested provisions of the Conflict of Interest Act continue to apply by decision of the Constitutional Court, but they have been effective for three years. During that time, however, Benda doesn't feel like they're effective. "The Prime Minister demonstrates that he can sway the rule of law in an incredible way, that he does not respect any principles and no rules," he says. And although the law names what conflicts of interest are, benda says it doesn't work. "We don't think that politics will change the courts, politics can change in the end only the decision-making of voters giving guidance to make it clear when the limits are already exceeded and when they are not yet exceeded," he explains.
