(ANSA) - ROME, OCT 6 - No Green Deal or arms deliveries to Ukraine: Election results in the Czechia may make life more difficult for EU policymakers. Following his resounding victory in the parliamentary elections in Czechia over the weekend, right-wing populist and billionaire Andrej Babiš emphasised his pro-EU stance, but some of his policies - and his supporters in parliament - spell danger for the Union's industrial policy and its support for Ukraine. His opposition movement ANO became the strongest force with just over 34.5 percent of the vote, according to the final results announced by the election commission on Sunday. He is now aiming to form a minority government. Babiš said he would seek backing for his government from the far-right Freedom and Direct Democracy (SPD) movement, which earned 7.8 percent for 15 seats, and right-wing newcomers, the Motorists (AUTO), with 6.8 percent and 13 seats. Having received Babiš early on Sunday, President Petr Pavel said he would name the new government in November at the earliest to give politicians room for negotiations. ANO will hold 80 of the 200 seats in the Chamber of Deputies. The centre-right Spolu (Together) alliance led by liberal-conservative Prime Minister Petr Fiala plummeted to 23.4 per cent of the vote (2021: 27.8). At 69 per cent, turnout was higher than in the 2021 parliamentary elections. Another headache for Brussels?. After his election victory, Babiš stressed that he was pro-European and wanted "Europe to work well". But Babiš, who will return to the head of the Czech government after a stint as premier from 2017 to 2021, is likely to be a difficult partner for Europe: during the election campaign, he promised to stop arms deliveries to Ukraine, to "destroy" the Green Deal - the programme for a climate-neutral EU - and to end the European migration and asylum package. According to ANO's number two, Karel Havlíček, the next government will immediately send a letter to Brussels to inform it that the Czech Republic will not introduce emission quotas for households and intends to reject the migration pact.
