Prime Minister unworried by complaint to Constitutional Court

Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek has said that he is unworried by the opposition Social Democrat's threat to take the government's reform package to the Constitutional Court. He told TV Prima on Sunday that this was a standard move, and something he himself did frequently as leader of the opposition. The Social Democrats have complained to the Constitutional Court that the public spending reforms passed in Parliament last Tuesday were in breach of the constitution. Mr. Topolanek said they had a "legitimate right" to complain, but that these attempts to sweep the reforms under the carpet "must not, and will not, succeed".
