Prague, April 13 (CTK) – It cannot be ruled out that the return of Prime Minister Andrej Babis’s ANO to the talks on the new government with the Social Democrats (CSSD) is just a trick with which to reassure the public, Petr Fiala, leader of the Czech Civic Democratic Party (ODS), told journalists today.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Afterwards, ANO may turn again to the Freedom and Direct Democracy (SPD) and the Communists (KSCM), Fiala said.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Not Babis, but someone else from ANO should form the government as this would unblock the current situation, he added.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

No one has any idea of the strategy ANO has adopted for the government-forming talks, Fiala said.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“There is absolute chaos in the negotiations and we still have no deadlines by which something should happen,” he added.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“If ANO returns to the CSSD, there is still the question of who will back the government. And if these are the Communists, this is no sensible solution either,” Fiala said.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“I cannot rule out that this is another trick with which to reassure the public. All of this may be heading towards an ANO one-colour government with the backing of the SPD and the KSCM,” Fiala said.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the long run, Babis wants to be the prime minister at any cost and head a one-colour government, while President Milos Zeman insists on having a government backed by ANO, SPD and KSCM, he added.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There are also other options to form a government, Fiala said.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“Since Babis was unable or did not want to form a government with the confidence of the Chamber of Deputies, there is the logical step that the second try should be given to someone else,” he added.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fiala said the Social Democrats and Christian Democrats (KDU-CSL) were willing to enter a government without Babis who is criminally prosecuted.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fiala is due to meet Zeman next week on Tuesday.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He said he was not about to ask Zeman to name someone else, not Babis to lead the government-forming talks. “We are in a political crisis to which we were pushed by the steps taken by ANO and Babis. I wonder how Zeman, who has all the cards in his hands, wants to proceed,” Fiala said.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
