Populist, billionaire and self-proclaimed “Trumpist” Andrej Babis won the Czech parliamentary election Saturday in a political comeback that put the country on a course away from supporting Ukraine and toward Hungary and Slovakia, which have taken a pro-Russian path.
His party won, that was expected. They did not win by big enough margin and will need to negotiate with 2 other populist parties to have majority.
These 2 smaller parties have completely different programmes such as one is anti-NATO and anti-EU while the other has opposite ideology. Being populists, for either of the party this was one of the main topics and he will need BOTH make his government work.
Let’s see how this comment will age but right now it doesn’t seem so bad.
They’ll also still have a minority in the Senate, is that right?
