The 63-year-old Andrej Babis was officially tasked with naming the new Czech cabinet on Wednesday, with President Milos Zeman designating him prime minister in the Prague Castle ceremony.
"Our country should be more active towards solving illegal immigration," Babis said after accepting his appointment.
Babis' ANO movement won 78 deputy seats in the October vote, putting it far above any other of the eight remaining parliamentary parties in the state. Even so, ANO remains well short of a majority in 200-seat chamber. The populist Babis has so far failed to ensure support of any of the other factions.
Babis is among the richest people in the central European state, controlling over 250 companies, including several newspapers and the most popular radio station in the Czech Republic. During the campaign, he pledged to fight corruption and illegal immigration, while also voicing skepticism on adopting the euro as a currency in the 10.6-million nation. Similar to US President Donald Trump, he pledged to run the state as he did his business empire and vowed to advocate "active defense" against migrants from non-EU countries.

A billionaire here, a billionaire there, pretty soon they’ll rule the world
Not so proud to be German and Austrian.
[ A billionaire here, a billionaire there, pretty soon they’ll rule the world ]
If they each rule their own SOVEREIGN countries as patriots and don’t listen to the sick song of globalism, I’m fine with it!
The Austrians seem to be making a few right moves. But they are behind the Slavic and Magyar portions of the old empire.
Hoch Hapsburg!
Let’s hope he knows how to use financial tricks to ruin Soros. Wouldn’t that be sweet?!!
Love Czech beer!
“A billionaire here, a billionaire there, pretty soon they’ll rule the world.”
And back when being a millionaire meant the same thing as being a billionaire it was a bit of the same thing.
I think it should be an American practice of voters to to always prefere a president who hasn’t been in “government service” their entire life.
Eastern European nations had almost half a century in subservient status to an Empire - the Soviet Union; and they are gradually seeing the imperial handwriting on the wall coming out of the forever overreaching EU. They were freed, while the citizens of the western European nations were continually indoctrinated by Marxist political cousins of the Soviets.

Make the Czech Republic Great Again was his slogan? A thorn in the side of the EU Swamp...Great...
