# Stačilo!

Stačilo! (lit. 'Enough!') is a political party in the Czech Republic. It was first announced as an electoral alliance on 4 December 2023 by Kateřina Konečná, leader of the Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia (KSČM). The alliance consisted of KSČM, United Democrats – Association of Independents, Czech National Social Party and independent individuals. On 10 October 2024, it transformed into a political party, founded by Daniel Sterzik [cs], who was elected as the party chairman in March 2025.

## History
### 2024 European Parliament election

In November 2023, KSČM announced its intention to form a broad political alliance for the 2024 European Parliament elections, with the other members of the coalition to be announced in December.
KSČM leader Kateřina Konečná announced the coalition on 4 December 2023, stating that it had been initiated by KSČM "with the aim of uniting left-wing and patriotic parties and movements that are not indifferent to the position of the Czech Republic in the European Union, the practice of censorship, the waste of money on weapons or ineffective social policies leading to appalling differences in the minimum wage within the EU". The coalition's founding members were KSČM and SD-SN; Konečná was chosen as the lead candidate for the alliance's electoral list. Ondřej Dostál, a lawyer and former healthcare adviser to the Czech Pirate Party, was the lead candidate for the United Democrats.
In March 2024, the Czech National Social Party announced that it was joining the coalition. The leading ČSNS candidate on the list was chairman Michal Klusáček.
The coalition announced that it would participate in the European Parliament election in June 2024. Konečná suggested that the coalition could continue after the European elections.

### 2024 Czech regional elections

For the 2024 regional elections, the coalition submitted a joint list in 12 out of 13 contested regions, several them in cooperation with other left-wing and nationalist parties, such as ČSSD or DOMOV. In the Ústí nad Labem Region, SOCDEM joined the coalition list, which was criticized by SOCDEM's leader Michal Šmarda. However, Šmarda refused to formally ban such a cooperation.
Stačilo! won representation in all contested regions except the Liberec Region, where it fell short of the threshold by just eight votes, and gained 40 regional councillors in total. The coalition demanded a recount of the votes in Liberec, which was approved by the Liberec Regional Court. However, although the recount found some counting errors, the court ruled that they had not affected the final result, and certified the election.

### 2025 Czech parliamentary election

On 16 November 2024, the Communist Party renewed the coalition for the 2025 election. However, Stačilo! will formally run as a newly-created party instead of a coalition, in order to avoid the higher electoral threshold. The party was founded by Daniel Sterzik. Konečná said she would resign from the European Parliament if elected. At the same time, SOCDEM leader Jana Maláčová said she was in talks with the coalition about her party's participation in the coalition. However, some party members, as well as the Young Social Democrats, opposed cooperation with the communists and threatened to leave SOCDEM if it joined Stačilo!. Konečná stated that any party wishing to join the coalition would have to respect its fundamental demands, including a foreign agent law, referendums on the Czech Republic's exit from the European Union and NATO, and moving public media under direct state control.
It was confirmed that the Czech Sovereignty of Social Democracy, led by ex-PM Jiří Paroubek, was also in talks about joining the coalition, after widespread cooperation in the regional elections. However, ČSNS later vetoed the party's admission. Paroubek cited "multiple reasons", but did not specify any.
Přísaha's leader Robert Šlachta has not ruled out joining the coalition, after the Motorists for Themselves chose to abandon the joint coalition between the two parties.
On 4 March 2025, Stačilo! formed as a party established a leadership, with Daniel Sterzik as chairman, Ondřej Dostál as 1st Vice-Chairman and Pavlína Procházková as Vice-Chairman.

## Ideology and policies

Stačilo! describes itself as "left-wing and patriotic" and "the only relevant opposition". However, the alliance has also been described as an attempt to avoid the controversial "communist" label and attract voters from the far-right. The coalition's list for the European Parliament election included several candidates accused of spreading disinformation during the COVID-19 pandemic; the movement as a whole has been labelled as "anti-system" and eurosceptic.
Konečná has named the abolition of the European Green Deal and reversal of the planned EU-wide ban on the sale of cars with combustion engines as priorities. She also pledged to cease the delivery of weapons to Ukraine, and called for the equalization of salaries across the whole European Union. Stačilo! also supports the removal of all EU sanctions against Russia and Belarus, and the purchase of Russian natural gas by EU countries.
