Chic Shaabi Papis Eyes of Power in the elections, but you may need the help of extremism

The Czech Republic goes to the polls on Friday and Saturday in the face of the deteriorating security situation in Europe and fears of Russian intervention.

The populist billionaire Andrig Babis, 71, tends to head the next government, to replace the strong coalition of profits and virgins.

But it will likely need allies at the utmost Czech policy – and its price will not be cheap.

“We will never drag the Czech Republic to the east. I can completely exclude it,” said Babis Hosteen of the elderly supporters.

“We were not the ones who sat with Putin – we were the ones who expelled the Russian diplomats!” He continued, referring to the measures taken in his first term after revealing that the military intelligence in Russia had exploded the Czech ammunition dump in 2014.

A row of gray heads nodded with his head while the former Prime Minister was regaining his subject.

“Never – I do not repeat, we will not think about leaving the European Union. Look at what happened to Great Britain! They are a nuclear force. They got gas, oil and the fishing industry. They are friends with Trump.”

Andrej Babis himself is also a friend of US President Donald Trump.

Many supporters were wearing a red pescical hat from Babis, the mixture with a “strong Cisse” – severely inspired by the Maga Trump.

The Babis problem – and it may soon become a problem for NATO and the European Union – is that the Ano party is unlikely to win the public majority.

Instead, it will likely need to form alliances with smaller parties on the sidelines of the Czech policy.

Public opinion polls and data indicate that his choice of potential allies will be limited to non -national SPD, green anti -cars, and sufficient degree! They are an alliance dedicated to the renovated Communists, and the remains of unprecedented social democrats, and a black hat called “Pitchfork” (the Czech word of Redneck).

On Wednesday night, during his face to face with Prime Minister Peter Viela, Andrig Babis excluded the formation of an alliance with the Communists. “I will sign a piece of paper in this sense here in the studio,” he said.

Many of its potential allies want referendums to leave the European Union and NATO.

Anu says this will not happen.

“We criticize the European Union, but we do not want to destroy it, we want to reform it,” Vice leader Carrele Havlik told the BBC.

“Winato, well, we can criticize many things on this topic, but joining NATO was the most important teacher in the history of the Czech Republic, and our position is to enhance it.”

While we talked about a large inflatable dinosaur waving on the horizon over our heads, part of a voltage castle was built in the Anu Rally. For older supporters, there were tents serving cups of coffee, free blood pressure and red baseball caps.

By the time I left, they went.

Throughout the city, the 19 -year -old political science student, Ondrej Kapralek, is an activist of the liberal pirate party, to vote in his first elections.

Pirates were part of the government right until they left the coalition around the growing digitization scheme.

But their political star rises again, and it can attract voters with disappointment with both the government and the popular or extremist opposition.

“I definitely feel that we should invest in our security,” the student said.

“It is not only about housing, but it is not only about the economy, but it is not only about the European Union – all these things should meet with my country to show my generation that it can have a wonderful future here.”

Like many young Czech progressors, it is concerned that his country followed Robert Fico Slovakia or Victor Urban – both European Union members and NATO, but increasingly in favor of close relations with Moscow.

“Russia is launching a huge campaign of misinformation against the Czech Republic,” said security analyst Roman Maca, adding that Russian intelligence services were also believed to be behind electronic attacks and intentional burning cases.

He believes that the presence of Russian -friendly parties in a government led by Anu should put alarm bells throughout Europe.

“These parties are in support of Russia, so they will want what is good for the Kremlin,” he told the BBC.

“They will ask that you stop supporting Ukraine, ending the Czech ammunition initiative, and opposing sanctions against Russia.”

Ano has already said that it would detain the initiative, which provided 3.5 million artillery shells to Ukraine. They want to replace it with a more transparent scheme that works within NATO borders.

But the party’s potential coalition partners want to move forward, with radical discounts for defensive spending and expelling Ukrainian refugees.

Over the past few years, the Czech government has been loyal to the European Union, to NATO, to defend Ukraine – constant.

If opinion polls are accurate, this approach will be asked soon – at least -.
