""We want to save Europe...and we are clearly pro-European and pro-NATO,""
""If the government is dependent on the position or on the support of the SPD, it's going to be very complicated,""
Andrej Babis and his ANO party won about 34.6 percent of the vote in the October 4 parliamentary elections, securing an estimated 81 seats but falling short of a majority in the 200-member parliament. Voter turnout reached 68.9 percent, the highest since 1996. Babis stated a pro-European and pro-NATO stance while critics note his past opposition to Czech support for Ukrainian refugees and some aid. Coalition talks could include the far-right SPD, which favors withdrawal from the EU and NATO, and the Motorists, a new Eurosceptic entrant, complicating government formation.
