Abstract A chain smoker and heavy drinker, he once declared that "journalists should be liquidated," and said of a famous environmentalist group that he would treat them the "good old medieval way: burn them, piss on them and salt them." Andrej Babis, the newly elected (and already embattled) prime minister, shows little interest in foreign policy, which suggests that he is likely to exert few constraints on the president — especially if Zeman receives a second mandate from an electorate that has had five years to acquaint itself with his beliefs. Nejedly is also the finance chief for Zeman's current presidential campaign, which has accepted large amounts of money from unidentified donors.
