Czech opposition leader Andrej Babiš has welcomed the creation of the Patriots for Europe faction in the European Parliament, saying it is a chance for his ANO party to work with others on a better European Union, to push for greater sovereignty for EU member states, stronger measures against illegal migration and a revision of the Green Deal. The new faction will have a total of 84 MEPs from twelve countries, making it the third biggest faction in the assembly.
The faction will be lead by Jordan Bardella, head of the French far-right National Rally of Marine Le Pen. Klára Dostálová, a Czech MEP for ANO, was elected one of the faction’s vice-presidents. Another Czech party – that of the Oath and Motorists also joined the new grouping.

The new European faction Patriots for Europe, which includes seven ANO MEPs, serves Russian interests, Prime Minister Petr Fiala said on the social network X. “Let us call a spade a spade. Patriots for Europe serves Russia's interests, whether consciously or unconsciously. And in doing so, it threatens the security and freedom of Europe," Fiala wrote on X.
Babiš rejected Fiala's words, calling him “a pathological liar”. According to ANO deputy chairman Karel Havlíček, ANO joined the Patriots for Europe faction in search of allies for the reform of the European Union, not with regard to its stance on the war in Ukraine. ANO has repeatedly said that it considers Russia to be the aggressor in the conflict and that it sides with Ukraine, Havlíček said.

The Czech Republic plans to significantly speed up rail transport from Prague via Plzeň and Domažlice to the border with Germany, Prime Minister Petr Fiala said on a working visit to Bavaria on Monday. The Czech head of government said the modernisation of the Plzeň-Domažlice line would start next year, when the line will be gradually electrified, with the aim to increase the speed on this important transport artery to 200 kilometers per hour by 2030.
Bavarian Minister-President Markus Söder said he would urge the federal government to earmark money for the German section of the rail route Schwandorf- Nuremberg-Munich for a high-quality electrified and double-track cross-border East-West link, rather than focusing only on the north-south rail line that leads to Italy.
The two sides signed agreements on cross-border cooperation in the field of tourism, emergency services and health.

Czech politicians have expressed mixed feelings regarding the outcome of the French elections. The Czech prime minister, Petr Fiala, said he was not happy either about the success of the far-right or that of the far-left. On a working visit to Bavaria on Monday, Fiala stressed that France played an important role in Europe and it was important for the country to form a stable government with which it would be possible to cooperate effectively. Mr. Fiala expressed the hope that this would happen in the not-too-distant future. Meanwhile, MEP Alexander Vondra of the Civic Democrats said that by his rash decision to dissolve parliament and call snap elections the French president has paved the way for communists and anti-Semitic forces to gain political influence in the country.

Czech politicians have strongly condemned Monday’s attack on a children's hospital in Kyiv. President Pavel said the strike against innocent children was proof that Putin would stop at nothing to achieve his goals. “This attack on the most vulnerable members of society is inexcusable” Pavel wrote on the network X, adding “ I am on my way to a NATO summit, where I expect members to reach a consensus that we all see Russia as the greatest threat to our security, for which we must be thoroughly prepared."
Strong words of condemnation also came from Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavsky, who said that while “useful idiots are raving about peace with Putin, he is sending missiles at a children’s hospital.” Other members of cabinet described the attack as ruthless and inhumane.
Widespread Russian airstrikes on Monday hit over 50 civilian targets in different cities leaving at least 36 dead and 125 wounded. Among the targets hit were residential buildings, a commercial center and two medical facilities in Kyiv, Dnipro, Kryvyi Rih, Slovyansk and Kramatorsk. More than 40 missiles of different types were reportedly used in the attack.
