The 77-year-old president, who plays a key role in naming the future prime minister, was rushed to the hospital shortly after a meeting with his longtime ally, Babish, in an ambulance, arriving seemingly unconscious upon seeing someone holding her head. .
Zeman’s doctor confirmed that the president had been admitted to the intensive care unit.
Babish hopes to stay in power, although on Saturday his populist movement at the UN lost to the center-right alliance “Together. He said he was willing to form a majority government with another political group.
However, after the first informal talks between Babish and Zeman at the latter’s residence near Prague, the president, who according to local media and politicians has liver problems, found himself in the intensive care unit.
“The patient is currently hospitalized in the intensive care unit of the Prague Military University Hospital,” Miroslav Zavoral, a Zeman physician, told reporters.
He added that the president would not allow him to reveal the diagnosis.
Mr. Zeman voted for his poor health at his official residence. Less than a month ago he spent eight nights in a military hospital.
The presidency has been hiding information about his illness for weeks and has not provided any details.
The alliance of right-wing civic democrats, center-right TOP 09 and center Christian Democrats “Together” gathered 27.79 percent, and A. Babish’s party at the UN, 27.12 percent. votes.
The Alliance would have a 108-seat majority in the 200-seat parliament, along with another bloc made up of the Pirate Party and the centrist STAN (Mayors and Independents) party.
Together, leader Peter Fiala said on Saturday that the two alliances would negotiate a government only with each other and ask Zeman for instructions on forming a government.
“It looks like both democratic coalitions will win a majority in parliament, which probably means that Babish will have to leave,” said Otto Eibl, an analyst at Masaryk University in Brno.
