The Czech Communist Party Is Kicked Out of the Czech Parliament Ever Since the End of World War II Because The Czech Communist Party is Failed to Meet the 5 Percent Mark Needed to Retain Seats in Both the House and the Chamber of Deputies.
In this blog, I am going to report the news that the Communist party in the Czech Republic country was down just like the Russian Communist Party on 9th October this year. The Japanese Communist Party might be recording the lowest votes in Japan and kicking out of the diet in the next House of Representatives election. Czech voters decided to kick the Czech Communist Party out of the Parliament for the first time ever since the end of World War II.
The Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia or KSCM failed to secure enough seats to enter the Czech Parliament for the first time since the formation of the Czech Republic after Czechoslovakia was peacefully dissolved into two countries in 1993 with the other country becoming Slovakia.
The KSCM took 3.62 percent of the vote which is failing to meet the 5 percent mark needed to retain seats in both the House and the Chamber of Deputies. Therefore, the party could not have reached the 5 percent mark needed to enter the Czech Parliament.
In a stunning upset, the SPOLU alliance which is a liberal-conservative three-party coalition secured 27.8 percent of the vote and beat Prime Minister Andrej Babis' Action for Dissatisfied Citizens or ANO 2011 party which won 27.1 percent.
According to the statistics office, the center-left-liberal coalition of the Pirate Party or PIR and the Mayors and Independents party or STAN obtained 15.6 percent which placed in third place.
Before the election, the SPOLU alliance vowed to form a coalition government with the PIR and STAN coalition. Over the weekend, the alliance signed a memorandum on their intent to create a majority Czech government with the coalition.
The failure to secure enough votes comes amid warning support for the communist party during their reign because the communist party jailed tens of thousands of people in forced labor camps in the 1950s and brutally repressed dissidents including playwright-turned-president Vaclav Havel.
Jiri Gruntorad who was a former dissident who signed the dissident Charter 77 statement and was jailed for subversion from 1981 to 1985 by the communist regime said that "It pleases him. It pleases him a lot, but it is coming too late." "It was one of the last communist parties in the world apart from the Chinese and Cuban ones that held on to its name."
While the communists largely faded into the background after 1989, they still cooperate with other parties seeking votes to pass legislation in Parliament. They also worked to appeal to senior citizens and working-class members of the republic; however, the KSCM failed to resonate with the Czech younger voters since they thought about their previous totalitarian rule.
The KSCM leader Vojtech Filip who also resigned following the outcome of the vote said that "He is very disappointed because it is a really big failure."
The communists also maintained a close relationship with current President Milos Zeman who was rushed to the hospital on October 10th following the latest election results.
Director Miroslav Zavoral of the Central Military Hospital in Prague said "Zeman was admitted due to complications related to an undisclosed chronic condition." "They know that the diagnosis precisely which allows them to target treatment." and stated that he did not have the president's approval to disclose details of the diagnosis.
The hospitalization is sure to create added uncertainty at a time when Zeman is set to lead political talks about forming a new government.
Under the constitution, the president can appoint anyone as prime minister and instruct them to nominate a Cabinet. A new Cabinet must face a vote of confidence in the lower house within a month of its appointment.
Before the election, Zeman said that "he would appoint the leader of the largest winning individual party, not a coalition to try to form a government which in this case would be Babis.
While Babis conceded that the SPOLU alliance won more votes as a coalition, he did not signal a move into opposition.
Zeman said that "If the president authorizes me to do so, he will lead talks on forming Cabinet."
Question: Do you think that Communism comes to an end completely someday?
I'd appreciate it if you answer this question after you read this blog.
