Andrej Babiš, the self-proclaimed “Trumpist” billionaire who won last month’s Czech election, has refused to sell his huge business empire, but insisted he will resolve a conflict of interest that threatens to bar him from becoming prime minister.
Babiš, whose ANO party finished a comfortable first in the October vote but failed to secure a majority in parliament, said in a social media post on Thursday he would not sell his Agrofert farming, food processing and chemicals conglomerate.
“I have repeatedly said I will never sell Agrofert. I have repeatedly said I will resolve the conflict of interest in accordance with Czech and European laws,” Babiš, whose net worth is estimated $3.9bn (£2.9bn), said. “This is not like selling a roll in a bakery.”
Czech should take note of what is happening in the USA and just shoot him now and be done with it. He will only help himself. Billionaire’s can’t help it. The only thing they understand is them, and only them, getting ahead, and therefore, everyone else getting shafted.
There’s plenty of concealed carry licences in Czechia, the per capita number is closer to the US’s than EU’s. The party will not survive without him. However, gun owners here are pretty chill AFAIK.
