Former Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis attacked during rally

Former Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis was hospitalized on Monday after being attacked by a man wielding a cane during an election rally in Dobra, in the eastern Czech Republic.

Police quickly arrested the attacker and labeled the attack as hooliganism. Babis was taken to a hospital in Frydek-Mistek for a medical checkup. The extent of his injuries remains unclear.

Prime Minister Petr Fiala and Interior Minister Vit Rakusan condemned the violence, calling it unacceptable. Despite being in opposition, Babis's ANO party is a strong contender in the upcoming parliamentary elections in October.

Babis, who became prime minister in 2017, lost the 2021 parliamentary elections. He also ran for the largely ceremonial post of president in January 2023, but lost to Petr Pavel, a retired army general./CNA
