Podcasters dissect ANO's Prague defeat and STAN's surge in recent election

A new episode of the Vrtěti psem podcast examines why ANO performed poorly in Prague and across the country, while STAN emerged as the clear winner.

In the latest Vrtěti psem podcast, the presenters break down ANO's disappointing election results, highlighting a pronounced loss in Prague and a general slump across its traditional strongholds. They attribute the outcome to internal challenges faced by Andrej Babiš and Karel Havlíček as they attempted to spin the defeat as a success. Conversely, the episode celebrates STAN's status as the top-performing party and debates whether it can leverage this momentum into broader political power.

Listeners are given insight into the bonus STAN might gain if it secures the upcoming Prague mayoral seat. The hosts also argue that an alliance between Starostové and Jan Grolich is improbable despite speculation. Full episodes are available on Herohero and for subscribers on Deník N's platforms.
