Summary

Introduction

8-9 октября 2021 г. в Чехии состоялись очередные парламентские выборы, на которых победу одержала коалиция «Вместе» Большая поддержка среди населения подтверждалась и тем, что за 10 лет существования движения оно потеряло лидирующее место в рейтинге политических сил только в начале 2021 г. У «Пиратов и старост», несмотря на то что суммарное количество голосов, отданных за обе партии, превысило показатель 4-летней давности – 808 550 против 839 776 – произошло ослабление одного из коалиционных партнёров.
