Czech communist joined Babiš's faction. "I am now a patriot," she announced.

Czech MEP Kateřina Konečná has joined the Patrioti pro Evropu group, aligning with euroskeptic and nationalist parties. This shift reflects her agreement with the coalition's program but does not imply unconditional support for all its positions. Konečná, who has been in the European Parliament since 2014, emphasizes her focus on national interests, particularly for Czech industrial and agricultural sectors. She has consistently opposed the Green Deal and migration policies. The Patrioti pro Evropu group, initiated by leaders like Viktor Orbán and Andrej Babiš, aims to resist deeper European integration and strengthen national sovereignty.
