Billionaire populist Andrej Babis’ party wins parliamentary election

Billionaire businessman Andrej won parliamentary elections in the Babis Czech Republic, but the general majority of the populist Ano Party was inadequate.

Ano received 35% below the votes and won 80 seats from 72 seats four years ago, according to the preliminary results.

Babis, who served as Prime Minister from 2017 to 2021, is expected to be invited to make negotiations on creating a new coalition.

Andrej Babis announced supporters who cheered in the ano center in Prague suburbs.

Italian pop trio Ricchi E Poveri entered the building on top of a Bluetooth speaker exploding a remik of Sarche Ti Amo in 1981.

The same song echoed on stage while accepting applause. Former Finance Minister Alena Schillerova danced some of his colleagues with rhythm.

“The summit of my political career!” He and his team will now work to make the Czech Republic “the best place to live in the European Union”.

However, even though this election did not make a big surprise – very few doubts that it would appear in the first place – there are still many questions.

Babis began to meet with two small right-wing Eurosceptic Partys who managed to cross 5%: anti-Greater Drivers and Czech-Japanese entrepreneur Tomio Okamura, directed by the anti-immigrant freedom and direct democracy (SPD) party.

Parliament mathematics mean that it will need an alliance with both to form a majority government in parliament.

After making his speech, he said that he wanted Ano to manage only instead of creating an official coalition.

ANO will have the most common point with drivers. The two are already sitting in the same European Parliament group-“Foam-Higning” for the Europe last year with Hungary’s Viktor Orban and Austria’s Herbert Kickl.

ANO shares drivers’ mistakes about the EU’s emissions targets and promises to clearly change or refuse them.

Both sides are strictly opposed to the Czech households carrying a larger financial load for cleaner energy, and both oppose the EU’s ban on the sale of new gasoline and diesel cars after 2035.

Relationships with SPD can be more full.

Initially, the SPD fought a series of eaves on a series of eaves on the far right, so they’ll have to give them some of their seats. Okamura may not have the full control of the deputies at the meeting – always a recipe for disaster in coalition politics.

Babis also categorically refused to allow a referendum in EU or NATO membership – a fundamental policy priority for SPD.

In the last days of the campaign, the Ano leader may have been intensively leaning against his anti -Ukrainian discourse, and he may have made the center -right government raven to “Czech mothers and everything to the Ukrainians”.

However, Okamura’s call for collective deportation of Ukrainian refugees will probably fall into the deaf ears.

However, the Czech military support for Ukraine’s efforts will change significantly under a Babis administration.

Already since 2022, Ukraine has delivered 3.5 million bullets to the successful check ammunition attempt to scrap.

Babis claims to lack transparency, but the Czech government officials who created the scheme, says it works exactly because it is not transparent.

Within the scope of the initiative, Czech arms sellers use their international contacts to supply bullets for Ukraine in the global market, and most of the money comes from the EU and NATO partners. Some producers are in countries with relations with Russia, but the agreement is organized with Czech dealers and their participation continues specially.

Ano leader wants him to move under NATO umbrellas and accused Czech arms sellers of making tremendous profits from the plan on Saturday.

However, President Zelensky said he would not have any problems in negotiating the issue.

Babis also laughed that the Czech Republic of the Czech Republic would no longer be a reliable partner under the rule of the EU and NATO, and therefore seemed to be away from the extremist parties.

“Your problem is that you just copy lies from Czech journalists,” he replied, a reporter from the New York Times answered English.

Im I talked to Trump five times! I was in the Pentagon.

“We were a very reliable partner,” he continued.

“I became prime minister. We are in the government before. And we got excellent results.”
