Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala on Saturday (October 4) acknowledged defeat in the parliamentary elections to billionaire Andrej Babiš’s ANO party, but affirmed that the country would remain a part of the West.
According to the Statistical Office, with 99% of votes counted, ANO led with 34.7%, while Fiala’s Spolu alliance came second with 23.2%.
Addressing the election loss, Fiala said:
“I want to make one thing clear to the public: Whatever role I may hold, I will not give up the fight against populism and extremism. I will not relent. All my life I have defended even minority opinions, but I will continue to fight to ensure this country remains democratic, free, and a solid part of the West — and I will do so for the sake of our children and grandchildren.”
Babiš told his supporters that ANO would seek to form a single-party cabinet, though falling short of a majority may necessitate a coalition government. Potential coalition partners include the Motorists, who oppose the EU’s Green policies, and the far-right, anti-EU and anti-NATO SPD party.
