Biden and Fiala in dire straits
It’s common for PM Petr Fiala to be compared to his namesake ex-PM Petr Nečas, but whatabout comparing Fiala to his foreign-policy role model, Joe Biden? The Financial Timesquoted Charlie Cook, an experienced American non-partisan political analyst, as saying thatthere are “unnerving signs for Democrats that voters have soured on Biden for good, with little that the White House or the campaign will be able to do to shift sentiment.” Biden’sapproval ratings are “stubbornly negative,” and Cook said he wonders whether people have”just changed the channel – they’ve just written him off.” Sound familiar? Yet in the case ofboth Biden and Fiala, it’s taboo to talk about finding a replacement, even as the grumbling gets louder. Fiala’s advisers have taken a new tack by creating a special logo for him thatmentions neither ODS nor the Spolu coalition. They want to create a cult of personality that makes Fiala untouchable. It will also make it easier to erase him when the time comes.
