Ex-Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis attacked during parliamentary election campaign<\/strong><\/p>\n

Former Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis was briefly hospitalized after being hit in the head with a walking stick during a campaign event on Monday.<\/p>\n

The incident took place in the village of Dobra in the eastern part of the country, where the leader of the right-wing ANO party was meeting supporters ahead of the October parliamentary election.<\/p>\n

According to ANO spokesman Martin Vodicka, an assailant struck Babis in the head from behind with a \u201cmetal object.\u201d<\/em> ANO MP Zuzana Ozanova, however, told the website iDENS.cz that the politician was hit with a walking stick. Police said the attacker, who has not been identified, was detained at the scene. His motives remain unclear.<\/p>\n

Babis was taken to a hospital for tests and later discharged. \u201cThank you all for your support. I hope I\u2019ll be fine. Tomorrow I\u2019ll be waiting for further assessment of the examination results, but for now the doctors have recommended that I rest,\u201d<\/em> he wrote on X. He canceled a similar trip planned for Tuesday.<\/p>\n

ANO deputy leader Alena Schillerova blamed the attack on \u201chatred spread by the ruling parties on billboards and social media.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a direct consequence of their campaign based on fear and division,\u201d<\/em> she wrote on X.<\/p>\n

Babis, who served as prime minister from 2017 to 2021, has opposed sending weapons to Ukraine and argued that the conflict between Moscow and Kiev should be resolved through diplomacy. He has denied accusations of spreading \u201cRussian narratives.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
