Former Prime Minister Andrej Babis and his ANO party have secured a decisive victory in the Czech Republic's general election with 34.6% of votes. The self-proclaimed "Trumpist" billionaire plans to form a minority government with far-right support, potentially reviewing military aid to Ukraine while maintaining the country's pro-EU and pro-NATO stance. This comeback marks what Babis calls "the absolute peak" of his political career despite ongoing EU subsidy fraud allegations.
