The new Czech coalition government — led by populist billionaire Andrej Babis — took office today with the aim of moving the country away from support for Ukraine and rejecting some key European Union policies, according to the AP.
President Petr Pavel swore in the Cabinet at Prague Castle today, ending the pro-Western coalition under former Prime Minister Petr Fiala - which made the country a staunch supporter of Ukraine and a haven for hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian refugees.
Babis, elected prime minister in two governments from 2017-2021, and his ANO movement won convincingly in October elections and agreed to form a coalition government with two small political groups, the anti-migrant Freedom and Direct Democracy party and the right-wing Motorists' Party.
Parties supporting US President Donald Trump formed a 16-member Cabinet. ANO holds eight positions and the prime minister's office. The Motorists' Party has four seats and the Freedom Party three.
