Babish took over the government between the years 2017 and 2021, and he is being tried in a corruption case related to the aid of the European Union of two million dollars.
In a Facebook post, the 68-year-old declared: “I will run for the Czech Republic presidency elections.
” Babish is the leader of the opposition populist (yes) movement, which lost by a slight difference of the general elections held last year in front of a coalition that includes 3 parties from the right of the center, led by current Prime Minister Peter Villa.
Babish is charged with operating a farm in 2007 using his “Agruit” products for food, chemicals, and media so that it could take advantage of subsidies offered to small businesses.
Viela claimed on Twitter that Babish is attempting to secure amnesty through his presidential campaign despite the fact that he is aware that the elections will take place in January.
A president in office cannot be prosecuted, according to the Czech constitution.
According to surveys, Peter Pavis, a former general who oversaw the NATO Military Committee from 2015 to 2018, will be Babesh’s main rival.
The winner of the entitlement will succeed veteran left president, Milosh Ziman, who is prevented by the constitution from running for a new term after he took over the presidency of two states as of 2013.
Despite Babish’s allegations, surveys show that his party, “Anu,” has approximately 30% of the vote, with the Civil Democratic Party, led by Viela, coming in second with about 20%.
A former prime minister is “running the presidential elections while being tried in a case of corruption.”
