Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala thanked all voters who participated in the elections.

Fiala expressed special gratitude to supporters of the SPOLU coalition, all backers, candidates, and campaign workers, and congratulated the winner of the elections, Andrej Babis.

He also congratulated all parties on their results and stated:

“The SPOLU coalition bore the main burden of all the crises we experienced in recent years. We successfully overcame the greatest security and economic crisis in the modern history of the Czech Republic. We took many unpopular but necessary steps. We fulfilled our main promise: we reunited the Czech Republic.”

Fiala emphasized that today the Czech Republic is a country no longer dependent on Russia for energy, builds highways faster than Poland, and has economic growth surpassing Austria and Germany.

“The governing parties, including the Pirates (Piráti), have a higher vote share than in 2021. After four challenging years of governance, this is truly an exceptional result. However, the election outcome was determined by the votes that did not go to waste and concentrated in the ANO movement. The result is clear and must be accepted democratically.”
