The political group Stačilo! in the Czech Republic is condemned by voters. A Leninist‑Marxist project of war against the Catholic Church and of restriction of religious freedom.

Defeat for the nostalgics of Leninist religious oppression.

We rarely deal with political results but today we make an exception.

After all, the political collapse of Stačilo! in the recent parliamentary elections in the Czech Republic was met with satisfaction and relief by many, not least the Episcopal Conference.

Running in the October 3 and 4, 2025 elections, the atheist‑Marxist group did not manage to pass the 5% threshold necessary to enter the Chamber of Deputies, stopping around 4.3%.

The electoral fiasco, it reads, will also empty “the communist coffers”.

With a turnout of 70%, the elections were instead won by the ANO party with 34% of the vote, ahead of the centre‑right coalition Spolu (23%). Also passing the threshold were STAN (centrists), Pirates and Greens (liberal‑progressives), SPD (sovereigntist right) and Motorists for Themselves, critical of the EU’s environmental policies.

 

Stačilo!, the atheist‑Marxists in the Czech Republic

Several times the Czech bishops had expressed in recent days their concern regarding the movement’s openly “anti‑church” program.

Stačilo! (that is “Enough!”) is a political coalition born in December 2023 on the initiative of the Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia (KSČM), together with other small parties and independent individuals. Its program mixes elements of Leninist‑Marxist stamp with those of “cerco” nationalism (euroscepticism etc.).

Among the proposals that raised particular concerns were:

• Limitations on the funding of Christian schools;
• Invalidation of marriages celebrated in church;
• Restrictions on the religious freedom of the Church and religious institutions;
• Revision of the agreements of restitution of property to the Church that were granted to it after the fall of the communist regime;

 

Who is the leader, Katerina Konecna

It is not surprising that the leader of Stačilo!, MEP Katerina Konecna, has stated that she “does not perceive the communist era as a dark age”.

A proud subscriber to Pravda, symbol of Soviet totalitarianism and censorship, in recent years she has consistently expressed praise for Russian democracy, voting against the condemnation of cooperation with North Korea.

Besides Russia and North Korea, the leader of Stačilo! is also madly in love with dictator Xi Jinping and China, which she considers her second home and describes as “an economic tiger”.

 

Satisfaction in the Czech Republic

Bishop Pavel Konzbul of the Diocese of Brno stated that “the Czechs have rejected extremist parties, despite both the extreme left and extreme right having run a strong electoral campaign”.

Alexander Tomský, a Jewish commentator and promoter of G.K. Chesterton, has declared instead that now the Marxists “cannot influence religious freedom, nor harm the Catholic Church”.

He hopes that by the dawn of 2026 they may realize that communism is “a dead ideology”.
