Petr Pavel and Andrej Babiš will have a tense second half with an uncertain result. The guests of the Kontext podcast, political scientist Eva Lebedová and STEM research director Jaromír Mazák, expect a harsh smear campaign for which it is not easy to find a cure. Trans-partisanship, being president of all, but above all not losing voters, which Petr Pavel is not sure of.

The government of Petr Fiala (ODS) survived the first vote of no-confidence and faced its first major demonstration, its motto being “Czech Republic First. “It was a diverse group of participants.

He was talking about the organisers, not the participants, but it had a life of its own on social media,” political scientist Petr Just summarised.
