Green group demands apology from minister over “terrorist” remark

Environmental organisation Hnutí Duha (Rainbow) has called on Foreign Minister Petr Macinka (Motorists) to publicly apologise after he labelled the group “terrorist”. The NGO has sent a pre-litigation notice and says it will sue if he does not apologise. Macinka made the remark earlier this month, backing fellow party member Filip Turek, who also threatened to block funding for environmental groups. Hnutí Duha says such rhetoric is unacceptable in a democracy and warns it could set a dangerous precedent.
