    Babiš’s Victory in Czechia Is Not a Turning Point for European Populists

    A populist movement has taken power in Czechia, reinforcing the steady rise of far-right parties across Central Europe. While united by the idea of regaining sovereignty, these forces remain divided on vital issues such as their stance toward Russia.
