Far-right liberals in Europe?

By Vladan Lausevic | Vlad's politics | 23 Jun 2023


The Czech party ANO 2011, led by Andrej Babiš, is moving further right and conflicting with its association with the liberal Renew Europe group in the European Parliament and the ALDE party. This shift could have an impact on EU policymaking. ANO's upcoming members are expected to align more with Hungary's Fidesz party, adopting anti-Brussels and anti-immigration stances.

Two influential MEPs from ANO, Dita Charanzová and Martina Dlabajovà, have announced that they will not run with the party in the next European Parliament elections. The 2024 EU election campaign in the Czech Republic is expected to be intense, with Babiš taking an anti-EU stance to attract voters from the far-right party.

ANO's evolution from a centrist anti-corruption party has led to conflicts of interest and an increasingly hardline approach to Brussels. The political landscape in the Czech Republic is polarized around Babiš, and the ALDE Party and Renew Europe group have concerns about ANO's alignment. If ANO remains, the delegation is expected to vote along far-right lines, but Renew Europe will become a more minor group if ANO leaves.
