Czech Constitutional court rejects post-election complaint criticizing SPD Party Campaign

The Czech Constitutional Court dismissed a post-election complaint against the SPD party's campaign in regional elections, deeming it unfounded. Filed by attorney Pavla Krejčí, the complaint argued that certain campaign materials, which featured racially charged imagery, violated democratic principles. The court ruled that electoral justice should remain cautious, emphasizing that invalidating elections should only occur if proven campaign misconduct significantly impacted results. Krejčí criticized current electoral law for insufficiently addressing hate speech in campaigns. The SPD and affiliated parties saw significant gains, securing 41 mandates across 12 regional councils in this year’s elections.
