Two female opposition MPs have filed a complaint with the Constitutional Court after the Chamber of Deputies’ Organizing Committee did not approve their business trip to a meeting of the LIBE Committee at the European Parliament. They eventually travelled to the event at their own expense, but without the opportunity to participate in the official discussion.
MEPs Adriana Chochelová and Irena Ferčíková Konečná requested to participate in a meeting of a European Parliament committee focused on the state of the rule of law in the EU. The organising committee rejected their request without specifying the specific criteria that, according to the law, had to be met when making its decision. According to the complainants, this interfered with the exercise of their parliamentary mandate. The complaint was received by the Constitutional Court on 25 January 2026 and will be heard by the full court as a pending case.
The two female MEPs attended the hearing in Brussels on their own initiative, but were unable to speak or take part in the discussion due to the lack of an official mandate. The Constitutional Court has not yet announced any date for a decision; according to its spokesperson, the length of plenary proceedings averages around eight to nine months. The outcome will thus depend on an assessment of whether the organising committee’s actions complied with the legal rules and whether they actually interfered with the exercise of the parliamentary mandate.
