Who are the partners in his coalition ? Left ? Moderate or radicals ? Greens ? Others ?
Basically anyone because the point here is to get ANO out of the government. No radicals though. They're moderate left, but they cooperate with parties on the right as well. Greens in the Czech Republic are radical communists.
Any Czech person around to chim in and shed some light on the implications?

He's a member of the Pirate Party, the (unofficial?) party of HN. I can't see why this wouldn't be on here.
OK, I was not aware of this political aspect of HN.
On a slightly off-topic note, I've been playing Deus Ex: Mankind Divided the last few weeks, which takes place in Prague, so this headline made me wonder for a moment if I was in-game...

According to [1] the previous mayor was Adriana Krnáčová [2]. There's not much information there. Can you elaborate why she was disastrous? There seems to be a connection to the Blanka tunnel complex [3]? [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prague_municipal_election,_201...

Blanka tunnels is an older issue, but under Krnáčová the entire Prague traffic system basically collapsed. There are frequent traffic jams and basically all bridges are in disastrous state. Libeň bridge, one of the only few Cubist style bridges in the world, has been closed for past two years, Troja pedestrian bridge collapsed last year and just a few days ago it turned out another bridge has to be collapsed and rebu…

At least they have a proper left.... We could use a lot more of this in the US.
Our 'proper' left parties that have some power are those old-school leftist parties that are pro-Russian. The irony is that they are usually quite fond of Trump.
We will see if they will attack him as it happened in Rome with a similar new major from outside (5 stelle). There was a huge disinfo campaign to discredit her. Not only ANO is worried, also all the established parties have all incentives to throw dirt at him to keep the pirates out of more important political roles. This is very exciting news.

Praha Sobe - an local movement led by a popular mayor of one of Prague neighborhoods Cizinsky. Hard to characterize in left/wing system.
Not included:
ODS - "right wing" mix of conservative populists, anti-EU nationalists, local department of corruption and some sane and competent people. Aggressive anti-pirates campaign put them out possible coalitions (though they got most votes).
ANO - technocratic/populistic party lead by an StB agent billionare. They screwed the last 4 years really big way (collapsing bridges...). Spent zillions on campaign in the last year.
Not even got any seats: soc-dem (Left wing. Local department of corruption and without sane/competent people. Screwed the last 4 years big way together with ANO), greens, communists, SPD (not even trying to pretend they are not fascist any more), other local formations, circus party (don't ask, please)...

This was amazing. A friend of mine has bought a humble flat and got 100% profit on the investment in just a couple of years! What are the chances the prices are going to fall significantly? Should I advice him to sell now?
