Seznam Zprávy | The political group in the EU that Babiš has joined is extremely positive news for Russia

Former Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš has announced the formation of a new alliance Patriots for Europe for the European Parliament. For the time being, in addition to the ANO movement, it consists of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's Fidesz and Herbert Kickl's Austrian FPÖ party. Martin Vokálek, executive director of EUROPEUM Institute, comments on its formation and importance.

"It will not change anything fundamental in European politics. The centre-right coalition of Renew, the Socialists and the People's Party remains with a majority. This new faction will be formed at the fringes of the political spectrum. It will be very difficult for them to get anything through. Their coalition potential or potential for cooperation is almost nil. Everyone will know that they are emerging on a nationalist, often populist, in some cases strongly right-wing spectrum."
