The ANO political movement was founded in 2012 Andrej Babišwho is the chairman of the party for the entire period of its political activity. The creation of ANO smoothly followed on from the civic association Action of Disgruntled Citizens. The movement strongly opposes corruption, criticizes the politics of the opposition and wins voters over the vision of a prosperous and economically stable state. ANO is therefore inextricably linked to the statement of entrepreneur Andrej Babiš that he wants to lead the state as a company.
