Wagnerová to make Senate run for Green Party

Recently retied Constitutional Court judge Eliška Wagnerová has announced she will be a candidate for the Green Party in Brno in Senate elections. Ms Wagnerová left the court last week and said that she had hoped there would be more time for the decision, but had been convinced that the time was right. Green Party chairman Ondřej Liška praised Ms Wagnerová as the embodiment of constitutionality and the quality of Czech law, and said there was no better place for her to apply her experience. Regarding her replacement on the bench, Ms Wagnerová said the candidate should see the position as the apex of their career.
