Czech Election Marks Shift Toward Populism
Reading
The Czech Republic had an important vote on Friday. This vote could change the country's support for Ukraine. It might also make the country closer to Hungary and Slovakia.
Andrej Babiš may become the leader again. He is a rich man and a popular leader in Central Europe. People think he might win against Petr Fiala, who won in 2021.
If Babiš wins, it would help Viktor Orbán and Robert Fico. These leaders do not give weapons to Ukraine. They still buy oil from Russia and do not like rules against Russia.
Fiala said that the country's safety is important. He said moving east would make the country poorer. Babiš started a group in Europe with Orbán called 'Patriots for Europe'.
Babiš does not like EU rules about people moving and climate change. He wants to protect the country's power. The voting will end on Saturday, and the results will be known soon after.
