False proposal blocked council start-up in Vranov, police investigating the case
The Regional Court in Brno will not review the results of municipal elections in Vranov in the Blansko district. According to blanensky.denik.cz, the proposal to review the vote was actually submitted by someone other than the person whose name was signed on the document.
A local resident, Radomil Hančík, was named on the proposal. He has distanced himself from the submission and claims that someone misused his identity. "It seems absolutely stupid to me. A lot of locals have asked me what it's supposed to mean. I'm not aware that I have a problem with anyone here," Hančík told the editorial office. On account of the whole matter, he contacted police, although he does not yet know the results of the investigation.
What surprised Hančík most was that the perpetrator did not merely approach a postbox but went directly to the court office. "I really don't understand it. There is only one independent candidate in the village, seven people. Then I'm not surprised that the courts are overwhelmed when they have to deal with cases like this," he added.
Klára Belkovová, spokesperson for the Regional Court in Brno, confirmed that the proposal was submitted in paper form. "It bore the stamp of the regional court office and was signed by the proposer," Belkovová said.
The case illustrates how the misuse of someone else's identity can burden the judiciary and delay the establishment of a municipal council. Police are investigating the matter; specific investigation results have not yet been disclosed.
