No, it is not. It's only populist party. Have your read their election programme? There is nothing right-wing about it.
It's literally led by a billionaire businessman that markets with make czechia great again hats.
From wikipedia.
The czech wikipedia mentions donations from big companies and vague promises. They are for cutting taxes which is a common right wing populist thing. They also do seem to be in favor of investing in infrastructure and such, at least in 2017, but my understanding is they have moved more to the right.
He's also pro trump which makes him automatically right wing in my eyes.
From the czech wikipedia.
That's what I'm trying to say too. He is billionaire businessman, but he aims his programme mostly for poor people. He is famous for giving away state money to people without any deeper meaning. So for example ANO one-time gave money to pensioners and of course pensioners liked it, even so it only increased the national debt. (Because there is a lot of pensioners in Czechia and they then vote for ANO). They were already part of goverment for 8 years in past and they never really reduced taxes. Only for employees a bit (I would call it leftist).
Also they want's to bring back EET. That's a tool for tax collection that adds burden to small businessmen. So ANO's program is aimed to poor people and give away state money, so Babiš can receive government and EU subsidies.
If it is "only a populist party" (there is no such thing, since populism is a political strategy, not an ideology), why did you start out by claiming it was a leftist populist party?
Well, I meant it like they are definititely not right-wing.
