Babiš Sworn In as Czech Prime Minister After Striking Far-Right Coalition

He now faces a constitutionally required confidence vote within 30 days.

Overview

  • The new governing bloc joins ANO with the Motorists party plus the anti‑migration SPD, controlling 108 of 200 seats.
  • Under the constitution, he must seek a confidence vote in the Chamber of Deputies within 30 days.
  • He pledged to transfer his Agrofert holding to a trust to address conflict‑of‑interest concerns, a step critics call a legal maneuver.
  • Until a full cabinet is appointed, previous ministers continue in caretaker roles.
  • On the EU stage, ANO sits with Hungary’s Fidesz and Austria’s FPÖ in a parliamentary group.
