The Czech Republic: The State of Liberal Democracy
Original language description
From the perspective of constitutional law, the year 2017 in the Czech Republic can be interpreted as a slow manifestation of illiberal tendencies in the Czech constitutional system. Symptoms of such tendencies were visible in several areas – unconventional acts of top constitutional officers requiring very creative interpretation of the Czech Constitution, controversial statements of high-ranking politicians relativizing foundations of democracy and rule of law, destabilization of the political system, limitation of public participation through legislation and even a limitation of right to information by a decision of the Czech Constitutional Court. The new approach to relations between the president, government and parliament indicate a possible shift in the basic paradigm of the Czech constitutional system – the parliamentary form of government.
