PRAGUE - Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis said on Sunday there would be a snap election if his coalition partner goes through with threat to quit, raising the prospect of more political turmoil after weeks of street protests against his rule.
Babis told a TV debate he had already ruled out seeking the support of the far-right, anti-EU and anti-NATO Freedom and Direct Democracy party, so a new vote would be the only option. “Why would they? It would be a complete suicide, because it would de facto mean an early election,” he added. The next election is currently scheduled for late 2021.
But it immediately plunged back into turmoil when the Social Democrats threatened to quit in protest at President Milos Zeman’s refusal to appoint a new culture minister from their ranks.
