A few minutes only brauchteStaatspräsident Miloš Zeman to find his usual tone. He just won presidential runoff with a dünnenVorsprung in front of his challenger JiříDrahoš – and he mocked adversary in his speech. Zeman did not respond to fiercely led camp campaign, not to blatant division of society, but remember team lectern to his own political successes since 1990s undbekräftigte that "Czech journalists are idiots".
Because of this harsh, UnversöhnlichenRhetorik was presidential election in Czech Republic as a direction decision. In addition to 73-year-old incumbent, Zeman was appointed by five Jahrejüngere chemistry professor Drahoš, analyses all promised a different policy style . The voters of both candidates were almost hostile to each or during election campaign – and result proves, as a few months ago, parliamentary election, a division of country: Zemanerrang 51.4 percent of vote, his lead was just 156.000 votes.
While in Prague and or major cities world Drahoš won, Zeman prevailed mainly in wirtschaftlichschwachen regions. It is this clash of city and country, VonGewinnern and losers, which was last also observed in elections in many andereneuropäischen countries.
The result is not a right-handed twist. Zeman was a socialist until his party exited more than a decade ago; Even today, he is more likely to place an imlinked spectrum in his political attitudes. A decisive no to admission VonFlüchtlingen represented in Czech Republic almost all parties irrespective of ihrerpolitischen orientation and also Zeman Challenger spoke out Vehementgegen a European quota system.
Still lacking a governmentImpact will have Zeman victory Deshalbzunächst above all domestically. After parliamentary elections in September, Czech Republic still stands without a government; The election winner Andrei Babiš – a billionaire with his own populist movement, against whom WegenBetrugsverdachts is determined – does not find a coalition partner among Democratic parties.
The debate is on toleration by Einerechtsnationale party and Orthodox Communist Party – both United Einaußenpolitischer isolationism and an aversion to EU. Drahoš had gone away to such a government that would be dependent on extremists. Zeman, on or hand, was open to this constellation. With SeinerWiederwahl, path for Babiš should be free.
In television duel shortly before election Hattesich Jiří Drahoš still given fighter. "I am candidate who looks at DieZukunft. Miloš Zeman has nothing more to offer to this country – but SeineBerater can still take a lot from this country, "he said, playing on affairs in which Zeman's closest employees were involved: from fabulous purchase of a villa in Prague over rushing private Festivities in Denansonsten strictly screened halls of Prague castle up to engenwirtschaftlichen connections to Russia.
