Environmental group Hnutí Duha to seek enforcement over Turek’s apology

The environmental organisation Hnutí Duha plans to seek court enforcement over an apology published on Facebook by MP Filip Turek of the Motorists’ party. It says he failed to comply with a court order because the apology did not meet the ruling’s requirements.

In April, Turek blamed the organisation for blocking a dam project, claiming this had contributed to several deaths during floods. He also described its members as parasites who needed to be exterminated.

Although Turek published an apology on Facebook, he added further remarks targeting the organisation. Hnutí Duha considers these additional comments an attack and says the apology is insufficient. It argues that the court ordered Turek to apologise, not to use the opportunity to launch further criticism.
