ANO leader Andrej Babiš gets second chance to form government

President Zeman appointed Andrej Babiš prime minister on Wednesday, giving him a second chance to form a government after his first cabinet failed to win a vote of confidence in the lower house. His chances of success still remain far from certain and thousands of people took to the streets on Tuesday evening to protest against the appointment. They were protesting against a government which would have to rely on support from the Communist Party.
