If a President Is Dying, and Nobody Says Anything, Does It Make a Sound?
Czech President Milos Zeman, facing re-election, is under scrutiny due to serious health concerns. Despite his office's claims of manageable health issues, many Czechs doubt his ability to serve another term. Zeman's health has become a central but discreet topic in the election campaign, with potential implications for his performance and influence of his aides. His opponent, Jiri Drahos, has refrained from attacking Zeman's health, possibly to avoid legal repercussions and alienating voters. The outcome of the election could hinge on Zeman's performance in upcoming debates.

Communism or Populism? Protests and Politics in Czechia
Nearly three decades after the Velvet Revolution, the legacy of communism continues to influence Czech politics. The new Prime Minister, Andrej Babiš, has controversially sought support from Communist Party MPs, and his past as an informer for the secret police has been scrutinized. Protests reminiscent of the Velvet Revolution have occurred, opposing figures like Zdeněk Ondráček, a former riot squad officer. The Czech Republic's growth as one of the fastest economies in the EU contrasts with the historical economic suppression under communism. The 50th anniversary of the Prague Spring highlights a lack of historical education on the period, despite its significance in shaping Czech society and its spirit of protest.

Democracy Digest: Hungary’s Balancing Act Topples As It Abandons Russia ‘Spy Bank’
Hungary's government, led by Viktor Orban, has decided to withdraw from the International Investment Bank (IIB) following US sanctions, marking a significant shift in its balancing act between Russia and the West. This move aligns Hungary with other European countries like Czechia, Slovakia, Romania, and Bulgaria. Meanwhile, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki emphasized Poland's leadership in a 'new Europe' during his visit to Washington, DC, contrasting with Hungary's diplomatic struggles. The Czech government has updated its national security strategy to explicitly name Russia and China as threats, aligning with NATO's stance. In Slovakia, National Bank Governor Peter Kazimir was found guilty of corruption, though he maintains his innocence. President Zuzana Caputova is expected to announce her decision on running for re-election soon.

Left's Faustian Pact Props Up Czech Trump, For Now
The Czech Republic's social democratic party ČSSD has chosen to abstain from a no-confidence motion, effectively supporting the minority government led by Prime Minister Andrej Babiš and his ANO party, backed by the Communists. This decision comes amid the ČSSD's struggle with its role in the coalition and the controversy surrounding Babiš, who is under investigation for EU subsidy fraud. The ČSSD's move is seen as a bid to maintain power despite the risk of being associated with Babiš's alleged misconduct, as the populist SPD party seeks to replace them in the coalition.

Is the US back in Central Europe?
The article discusses the U.S. government's decision to ban entry to six Hungarian officials due to corruption, marking a low point in U.S.-Hungary relations since 1989. The sanctions reflect the Obama administration's disapproval of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban's constitutional reforms and his government's actions, such as closing a gas interconnector with Ukraine and planning to exempt the South Stream gas pipeline from EU law. The article suggests that Orban's policies, including a political shift towards Russia, are being watched by other Central European countries, potentially influencing their stance on the Ukrainian-Russian conflict. The piece also reflects on the changing U.S. foreign policy towards Central Europe, from the post-Cold War era to the present, emphasizing the region's significance in light of recent geopolitical events and societal protests against pro-Russian elites.

China Enlarges Its Circle in Europe, and Tries to Convince Europeans It Comes in Peace
China's Premier Li Keqiang visited Croatia to inspect the Mali Ston Bay bridge project, symbolizing China's growing infrastructure influence in Europe. Amidst skepticism, China aims to reassure European nations of its peaceful intentions, especially after Italy and Greece joined the 'One Belt, One Road' initiative. The '16 plus 1 Group', now '17 plus one' with Greece's entry, has seen varied responses from member countries, with some cooling on China due to unmet investment promises and cybersecurity concerns. Chinese investment in Europe has declined, and the European Commission has recently taken a more defensive stance, calling China a 'systemic rival'. Despite this, Li promises support for European integration and fair treatment of companies.
