Doctrine — stated goals and content

Centre-right coalition that displaced ANO in 2021. Pro-EU, pro-NATO, fiscally consolidating after pandemic deficits. Major file: 2024 consolidation package — VAT reorganisation (15% and 21% bands), windfall tax on energy and banks, pension age extension, public-wage restraint. Strong Ukraine support including artillery initiative procuring shells globally for Kyiv. CNB held high rates (7%) longer than ECB to combat post-Covid inflation. Lost October 2025 election to ANO; Fiala resigned, succeeded by Babiš ANO-led government.
