In 2020, Fiala led the initiative for a centre-right electoral alliance with KDU-ČSL and TOP 09, known as Spolu. He became its candidate for the premiership in the 2021 Czech legislative election, running on a pro-Western and pro-European centre-right platform, focused on fiscal responsibility and closer relations with NATO as part of Atlanticism. The alliance outperformed initial opinion polls and received the highest number of votes in the election, though with one seat fewer in the Chamber of Deputies than second-placed ANO 2011.
Under Fiala's leadership, Spolu formed a coalition agreement with the Pirates and Mayors alliance, with a majority of 108 of 200 seats. He was appointed prime minister by President Miloš Zeman on 28 November 2021 and Petr Fiala's Cabinet took power on 17 December, making him the third oldest person to hold the office, as well as the first with a political science background and the first from Brno.
In 1996, he became a docent at Charles University in Prague, and in 2002 he was named as the first professor of political science in the Czech Republic.[5] In 2004, he became dean of the Faculty of Social Studies at Masaryk University, and in the same year was elected as rector of the university, defeating Jan Wechsler in the third round.[6] Fiala was reelected in 2008 and remained in the position until 2011.[5] While Fiala was rector, Masaryk University increased its enrollment to around 45,000 students, became the most popular Czech university in terms of applications, and created a nationwide system for detecting academic plagiarism.[7] During this period, Masaryk University built a new €220 million campus for biomedicine, opened a research station in Antarctica, and established the Central European Institute of Technology (CEITEC) using CZK 5.3 billion from the European Structural and Investment Funds. CEITEC launched in 2011.[8]
Career
Public activism
In the 1980s, Fiala was involved in independent civic activism. Between 1984 and 1989, he participated in the so-called underground university, hosting seminars in Brno focused on political philosophy.[9] He was involved in unofficial Christian activities, especially in the circle of secretly consecrated Bishop Stanislav Krátký.[10] Along with other Brno students, he founded the samizdat university magazine Revue 88, published in 1988–1989.[11]
After November 1989, Fiala continued his publishing and civic activism, working as an editor for magazines such as Proglas, Revue Politika, and Kontexty. In 1993, he founded the Centre for the Study of Democracy and Culture (CDK), a civic think-tank. Fiala was criticized for his activities during the 2021 election campaign because the centre was accepting state subsidies.[12]
Fiala has been active for a long time in institutions and bodies related to higher education and research in the Czech Republic and abroad. He served as vice-chair of the Czech Rectors' Conference from 2005 until 2009, and chair between 2009 and 2011. Fiala was a member of the council of the European University Association between 2009 and 2011. In 2007, he was elected by the Chamber of Deputies to the council of the Institute for the Study of Totalitarian Regimes, where he served for five years. He is a member of many scientific and academic councils of public and private universities and research institutions in the Czech Republic and abroad. He has received a number of awards for his scientific and academic work; in 2011 he was awarded the Golden Plaque of the President of the Republic.[13]
In 2005, he was part of the commission in the competition of Czech and Moravian wines, TOP 77.[14]
Politics
In September 2011, Fiala served as chief aide for science to Prime Minister Petr Nečas, and was appointed as Minister of Education, Youth and Sports in Nečas' government on 2 May 2012,[15] remaining in that post until Nečas resigned in 2013.
Fiala led ODS into the 2017 legislative election, in which the party finished second with 11% of the vote. He refused to negotiate with ANO 2011 about joining the subsequent government, and ODS remained in opposition.[17] On 28 November 2017, Fiala was elected Deputy President of the Chamber of Deputies, receiving 116 of 183 votes.[18] Fiala was reelected leader of ODS in 2018.
Ahead of the election, opinion polls suggested that ANO 2011 would win, but in an electoral upset Spolu won the highest number of votes, and opposition parties won a majority of seats in the Chamber of Deputies.[25] The opposition parties signed a memorandum agreeing to nominate Fiala for the position of prime minister.[26] On 8 November, five Czech parties, ranging from the liberal-conservativeCivic Democrats to the centre-left liberal Pirate Party, signed a pact to form a new centre-right coalition government and pledged to cut budget deficits.[27] On 9 November, President Miloš Zeman formally asked Fiala to form a new government.[28] On 17 November 2021, Fiala introduced Zeman to his proposed cabinet and Zeman agreed to appoint Fiala the new prime minister the same year on 26 November.[29] In November 2021, Fiala confirmed that he would like to continue with the Spolu coalition into the 2022 Senate and municipal elections.[30]
Premiership
On 28 November 2021, President Miloš Zeman appointed Petr Fiala as the 13th Prime Minister of the Czech Republic.[31] Following his appointment, Fiala said he believed his government would bring change and improve the lives of people in the Czech Republic, but that the next year would be difficult for many citizens and the Czech Republic itself.[32] His appointment took effect upon his Cabinet being sworn in, on 17 December 2021. Fiala's government won a confidence vote in the Chamber of Deputies of the Czech Republic on 13 January 2022 by 106–86.[33]
Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Petr Fiala and his government took a tough stance on Russia, pushing for the toughest sanctions against Russia and supporting Ukraine's accession to the European Union. After the invasion, the Czech Republic immediately began supplying weapons and humanitarian aid to Ukraine. On 15 March 2022, Fiala, together with Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and Slovenian Prime Minister Janez Janša, visited Kyiv to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a display of support for Ukraine.[34] The train journey, described by the media as a "risky mission",[35] as well as an "extraordinary attempt to demonstrate support",[36] was the first visit by foreign leaders to Kyiv since the start of the Russian invasion,[37] and was hailed by President Zelenskyy as a "great, brave, correct and sincere step" after the meeting.[38]
Starting from 2023, the Czech Republic went into recession,[44] and subsequently continued to underperform economically relative to other European Union member states, which were showing signs of recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic.[45] The Czech Republic also experienced high debt growth and a decrease in real wages,[46] despite a decrease in the EU-average level of debt,[47] and registered the highest inflation rate in the EU during the 2021–2023 inflation surge.[48]
In October 2023, Fiala condemned Hamas' attack on Israel, and expressed his support for Israel's right to self-defence and actions during the subsequent Israel–Hamas war.[49] He said that Israel was "the only functioning democracy in the Middle East and is the key to stability in the region."[50] On 25 October 2023, Fiala visited Israel to express solidarity with the country.[51]Nigeria cancelled a planned visit by Fiala on 8 November 2023.[52]
During 2023, Fiala and his government encountered deeply negative ratings from the Czech public.[53] In December 2023, Fiala's approval rating dropped to 16% in some polls, one of the lowest approval ratings among world leaders,[54] and the lowest for a Czech Prime Minister since Petr Nečas.[55]
On 26 February 2024, Fiala attended an emergency summit in Paris hosted by Emmanuel Macron, to discuss the military situation in Ukraine, as they had recently suffered the loss of Avdiivka. Fiala proposed the purchase of 500,000 rounds of artillery ammunition for Volodymyr Zelensky's forces from foreign sources. The Czech Republic were raising the proposal for the second time in one month, after the first proposal had been vetoed by France in the European Council.[56] Whilst in Paris, Mark Rutte announced that the Dutch government would provide €100 million for this purpose, and Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo announced that his government would provide €200 million, among 15 nations which announced support for the proposal.[57]
On 24 June 2024, Argentine President Javier Milei visited the Czech Republic and was greeted by Petr Fiala and Czech President Petr Pavel.[58]
In August 2016, Fiala stated that "radical Islam is at war with Europe" and that the European Union should not accept migrants who pose a risk.[70] He opposed the withdrawal of Czech soldiers from the war in Afghanistan.[71] Fiala expressed opposition to Russian and Chinese involvement in the construction of the new unit of the Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant.[72] He also claimed that human impact on climate change is "not entirely clear", which was met with criticism and accusations of populism from environmental experts.[73]
At the beginning of June 2020, a statue in Prague of the British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, in Winston Churchill Square in Žižkov, was spray-painted with the inscription "He was a racist. Black Lives Matter", referring to a wave of protests against police brutality and racism triggered by the murder of George Floyd in the United States. Fiala condemned the vandalism of Churchill's statue, describing Churchill as "the great democratic politician... who contributed to the defeat of Adolf Hitler", and criticised the graffiti as "stupid and shameful."[74]
Prior to the 2021 election, Fiala criticised the European Green Deal, a political initiative of the European Commission to promote the transition to a green economy.[75][76] However, he wrote in May 2021: "The Green Deal is reality. There is no point in speculating how it could be otherwise. Now we must seize the opportunity to modernize the Czech economy and improve the quality of life by investing in sustainable development, renewable resources and the circular economy."[77]
Fiala also serves as the chairman of the board of directors of the independent liberal-conservative think tank Pravý břeh.
Foreign issues
In October 2015, Fiala called for a military invasion by Western ground forces in the Middle East, stating: "We will not solve the problem of migration and destabilization of the Middle East and North Africa unless we take military action." On the other hand, he opposed Russian involvement in the war against Islamic State.[78]
In June 2018, commemorating displaced peoples and refugees, German Chancellor Angela Merkel condemned the expulsion of Germans from Czechoslovakia and other Central and Eastern European countries after World War II, arguing that there was no moral and political justification for the expulsion. Fiala responded that "pulling things out of the past with a one-sided interpretation certainly does not help the development of mutual relations."[79]
In October 2019, he condemned the military aggression of Turkey, a NATO member state, against the Kurds in Rojava in northern Syria, stating that "the situation in the Middle East has deteriorated significantly since this Turkish military operation in northern Syria."[80]
Fiala welcomed the victory of the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party in the Polish parliamentary elections in October 2019, noting that ODS and PiS had been cooperating for a long time in a common European Parliament political group.[81] He also stated that he would limit the negative impacts on Czech territory of mining in the Polish Turów brown coal mine near the Czech border.[82]
In 2020, he supported the official visit of Czech Senate President Miloš Vystrčil and other Czech senators to Taiwan to express support for the country and its democracy.[84]
In May 2024, he described the International Criminal Court's request for an arrest warrant against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant as "appalling and absolutely unacceptable", saying "We must not forget that it was Hamas that attacked Israel in October and killed, injured and kidnapped thousands of innocent people."[85] When arrest warrants were issued in November 2024 against Netanyahu, Gallant, and former Hamas commander Mohammed Deif, Fiala criticised the decision, saying through a spokesperson that "the ICC weakens its authority in different cases when it puts the democratically-elected representatives of Israel on the same level as terrorist organizations".[86]
In January 2024, it emerged that Fiala had omitted to declare an ownership stake of almost 1 million CZK in the Podnikatelska Druzstevni Zalozna credit union.[89]
28 January 2011: Rector of Masaryk University Mikuláš Bek awarded Fiala the Golden Medal of Masaryk University for Fiala's previous work as the University's Rector.[91]
26 August 2011: Václav Klaus awarded Fiala the Golden Plaque of the President of the Republic for his work as a Rector of Masaryk University. Fiala was the first Rector to receive the award.[92]
