Diary N already can call Bombica as he wants, the court canceled the urgent measure
The diary could not defend himself before the decision. The appeal helped.
BRATISLAVA. Extremist Daniel Bombic achieved in early December that the court had issued an urgent measure to delay the use of evaluation judgments extremist, anti -Semita and neo -Nazi.
Bombic informed today that the Bratislava Regional Court of the December order of the Bratislava IV Municipal Court canceled. He did not recognize his argument that the use of these expressions violates his right to the presumption of innocence.
The editor -in -chief of the daily N says that common sense has won.
The judgment is not required
Three international arrests were issued for Bombica. In January, the British authorities issued it to Slovakia, where he wears a monitoring bracelet and must not publish hateful contributions on the Internet.
Although most of his accusations concern extremism, the task of the court – if one of the cases comes to it – is not to decide whether Daniel Bombic is an extremist, anti -Semita or neo -Nazi.
“Conditioning using the term 'extremist' to indicate someone who shows signs of affiliation to extremist ideology rightfully by judgment In my professional and legal opinion, for committing the crime of extremism – which is also only an overlapping term over a group of several crimes – is incorrect and legal, ” commented The case for SME Daniel Milo, who deals with extremizne.
He recalled that extremism is primarily the term political and sociological, not legal: “In my legal opinion, it is possible to conclude that it is a person who meets the definition features of extremism.”
Could be defended up to additionally
Diary N was not given the opportunity to provide the city court with arguments to defend himself. This type of procedure is common practice. The publisher could only appeal when the court issued a order.
« The Regional Court's decision confirms my belief that it still makes sense to believe in justice in Slovakia and trust that there are decent judges and judges, » said Matúš Kostolný, editor -in -chief of the daily N. « Despite the fact that neo -Nazi, anti -Semita and extremist Daniel Bombic is a protector and ally of government Direction« He added that he said common sense prevailed.
The decision of the Regional Court is not a surprise. It was expected by several experts in extremism and law.
The SME trick did not work
Application for similar urgent measures Bombic tried to get for the SME daily. However, the publisher captured it in time and prepared a detailed argument for his defense.
Just before it was delivered, Bombic withdrew his application. There was a risk that the court would have ruled differently this time, and, among other things, another judge received the case.
Both parties then saved whether the court should decide on the matter. It was not his duty, but if the judge accepted the publisher's arguments, she could do so. On the contrary, Bombic has already argued in favor of the court not more dealing with the case.
Finally, the court ruled in favor of the extremist – it stopped the proceedings, but ordered it to pay it to the SME daily costs.
