Czechs Going to the Polls: Eurosceptic Turn on the Horizon?
Former prime minister Andrej Babiš said his ANO movement, projected to win the elections, intends to govern alone.

Former prime minister Andrej Babiš said his ANO movement, projected to win the elections, intends to govern alone.

Trust in multinational institutions like the EU, NATO, and the UN among the Czech population has dropped precipitously in the past year.

The Russians should be treated like the Japanese in the U.S. during WWII, President Pavel said, stopping just short of suggesting internment camps, as it’s “simply the cost of war.”

In an interview with the BBC, Pavel affirmed his belief that Ukraine should join NATO as soon as the war ended.

Following his decisive victory over Andrej Babiš, the 61-year-old Petr Pavel told supporters that “values like truth, dignity, respect and modesty have won.”

In two weeks, Petr Pavel and Andrej Babiš will face off in a second round.

Three personalities from the Center to the Right are likely to reach the second round: former Prime Minister Andrej Babiš, General Petr Pavel, and economist Danuše Nerudová.
