In an EU first, Hungary has granted political asylum to Zbigniew Ziobro, former Polish Justice Minister of the now opposition PiS party. Ziobro is being prosecuted for corruption, which the PiS claims is just a veil for a political trial by the liberal KO of Donald Tusk.

"It’s not entirely clear who attacked whom,” Orban says of Russia’s war against Ukraine.
Let's say it as it is. Orbán is a Putin's puppet and a traitor of Europe.

Last night,EU leaders approved a €90bn joint debt for Ukraine after reparations plan collapsed. Czechia, Hungary, and Slovakia opted out: they won’t guarantee the loan or share liability if Kyiv cannot repay. Others will bear the financial risk. This means Babiš has joined Fico and Orban immediately

Filip Turek will NOT be nominated to the Czech govt—at least for now. After excusing himself from meeting President Pavel due to "acute back pain," Babiš removed him from the ministerial list. Convenient timing for someone who built a macho persona but now can't handle a meeting with the President.

#Czechia has a new Prime Minister. Sticking to his earlier promise, Czech president Petr Pavel has just appointed Andrej Babiš as the new prime minister of Czechia. Ministers have to be appointed next, before the country officially gets a new government. Until that happens, PM Fiala stays as well.

The neo-Nazi candidate for Minister in the future govt of #Czechia Filip #Turek has excused himself from his tomorrow's meeting with #Czech President #Pavel. Pavel has indicated he will most likely refuse Turek's nomination,but wanted to meet with him before. Turek's excuse is his "acute back pain"

The President of #Czechia Petr Pavel announces he will appoint Andrej Babiš, leader of the ANO party, Prime Minister of Czechia next Tuesday, December 9th. This follows Babiš's announcement today that he will hand over his agricultural conglomerate Agrofert in order to avoid a conflict of interest.

The wannabe neo-Nazi Minister of the new #Czech govt Filip #Turek, who has openly admired Hitler and uses Nazi insignia in the public,compares himself to others who have simply lifted their right hand in a wave, or played in a comedy show (like Zelensky) where they LITERALLY mocked Nazism

President #Nawrocki of #Poland has canceled his meeting with Hungary’s #Orbán after the latter’s Moscow visit. Nawrocki will now attend only the V4 summit in Esztergom, focusing on security and cooperation with Czech, Slovak, and Hungarian presidents. So not even Poland and Hungary are pals anymore?

#Putin said the very same thing, multiple times, about Ukraine. The last time he said it was on January 28th 2022, less than a month before he unleashed his brutal war OF CHOICE. If the European political establishment still believes him after all of this,we kind of deserve to be attacked, tbh.

BREAKING: The prospective PM of #Czechia Andrej #Babis has nominated Filip #Turek to be Environment Minister, instead of Foreign Minister. #Czech President #Pavel is still opposed to the nomination. This follows Turek's hateful and openly neo-Nazi comments in the past, uncovered by the media.

80 years ago today, Czechoslovakia lost its eastern-most territory, the so-called Sub-Carpathian Ruthenia, to the USSR. This was the result of immense pressure from Stalin, including staged "referenda" on the territory. As you can see, Kremlin tactics don't really change that much.

#Poland suspects #Russian intelligence services were behind an explosion on a major Polish railway line used to transport military goods and aid to Ukraine, an act PM Tusk called an "unprecedented act of sabotage." The blast on November 17 occurred about 100 kilometers from the border with Ukraine.

In a despicable, yet not surprising move, #Czechia's new Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies, far-right leader Tomio #Okamura, currently charged with racism, had had the flag of #Ukraine taken off the building of the Chamber. The flag had been there since the start of Russia's full scale invasion.

A court in #Slovakia has sentenced Juraj C., who shot PM Robert Fico five times in 2024, to 21 years in prison. He was convicted of a terrorist attack, not just assault on an official. The 72‑year‑old admitted the act but showed no remorse. The verdict can still be appealed to the Supreme Court.

The party entering the #Czech government negotiations in this big-ass car, the Motorists, will likely get the Ministry of the Environment. Tells you everything you need to know about Czechia's politics right now. Anyway, don't forget to watch our latest video where we discuss the implications more!

13/x: Crucially, #Babiš has already met with leaders of both the Motorists and the SPD. Deputy head of ANO #Havlíček says a "stable government" is their priority. At the same time, Babiš said he prefers a minority government "supported by parties in line with ANO's program". Will it work? Let's see

12/x: Counting nearly over in the #Czech #election. The results are clear: #ANO of former PM #Babiš dominates. A populist government of ANO, supported by the right-wing extremist #SPD and the Eurosceptic, anti-green newcomer #Motorists seems like the most likely govt. More details in a video soon!
