The opposition party, Svoboda, issued a statement welcoming the ruling from the Constitutional Court, emphasizing that the referendum functions as a crucial democratic mechanism that cannot be invalidated through legislative circumvention. According to the party, the Constitutional Court determined that any exceptions made to the established rules governing referendums must be interpreted in alignment with the foundational purpose for which those rules were created. Svoboda asserted that without this adherence to principle, such legislative maneuvers could undermine or nullify the fundamental constitutional right to a referendum.
The opposition viewed the court’s decision as a significant point of contention for the ruling coalition and the Party of Truth. They reiterated their criticism, alleging that the ruling coalition had passed several measures deemed harmful, such as the Intervention Act, and subsequently attempted to bypass public consent through legislative means. Svoboda stated its conviction that the coalition’s actions represented an effort to diminish the populace’s power.
The party maintained that these legislative tactics were designed to circumvent the will of the people. The focus of the statement remained on the supremacy of the constitutional right to self-determination, as interpreted by the court, over potentially manipulative legislative procedures.
