The parliamentary elections in the Czech Republic, scheduled for October 3-4, could bring to power the populist ANO party led by Andrej Babis, which could reduce support for Ukraine. Babis could form a coalition with marginal parties, which would lead to a less favorable rhetoric towards Kiev and a closer alignment with the pro-Russian positions of Hungary and Slovakia. Additionally, the electoral campaign has been influenced by Russian disinformation, with anonymous accounts on TikTok promoting pro-Russian narratives. The pro-Western President Petr Pavel will play a crucial role in forming the new government, considering that Babis may collaborate with extremist parties.
