Poland’s 2025 Presidential Race: A Referendum on the Government
3 December 2024
Before an extraordinary parliamentary session focused on security threats, Andrej Babiš refuted claims that his frequent communication with the Hungarian and Slovak governments posed a risk to the Czech Republic and facilitated Europe’s access to Russia.
Unfortunately for the head of the ANO movement, two cases have surfaced recently that show Babiš’s party is close to Moscow via connections in Budapest and Bratislava.
“They will tell you that I am a security threat because I am talking to Viktor Orbán and Robert Fico,” Babiš told his supporters on social media before the extraordinary meeting of the Czech Parliament that addressed security threats to the Czech Republic. “We are not rooting for Putin,” he added at a press conference.
The problem is that he is increasingly aligning himself with politicians who cheer for Putin. Not only in rhetoric, often aimed mainly at their domestic constituents, but also in concrete actions. Two recent examples illustrate this more than clearly.
