    In 2021, when Babiš was Czech prime minister, he backed Hungary PM Orbán’s anti-LGBT law.

    Today, thousands attend the banned Pride march in the Hungarian city of Pecs, showing anti-government signs such as “Hungary is a dictatorship”.

    Maybe we see similar ‘events’ soon in the Czech Republic, while right-wing pro-Russian groups will demonize the West as it is now the case in Hungary?
