Overview
- ANO signed a governing pact with the far-right SPD and the Motorists party, giving the bloc 108 of 200 lower-house seats (ANO 80, SPD 15, Motorists 13).
- The coalition’s draft program brands the Green Deal “unsustainable,” threatens not to transpose ETS2 into Czech law, and rejects the 2035 combustion-engine phaseout as unacceptable.
- Andrej Babiš plans to scrap the minister for European affairs and place EU policy under a department reporting directly to the prime minister.
- The prospective government pledges to halt Czech budget aid to Ukraine and to end a Czech-led ammunition initiative for Kyiv.
- Babiš still needs a formal nomination from President Petr Pavel, ministerial approvals that could face objections over figures like Filip Turek, and a confidence vote, with an eye to taking part in the Dec. 18-19 EU leaders’ summit.
