"Antonín Švehla (15 April 1873 in Prague – 12 December 1933 in Prague) was a Czechoslovak politician. He served three terms as the prime minister of Czechoslovakia. He is regarded as one of the most important political figures of the First Czechoslovak Republic; he was the leader of the Agrarian Party, which was dominant within the Petka, which was largely his own invention. Švehla is also credited with the slogan of the Petka: "We have agreed that we will agree."
He supported professor T. G. Masaryk in his fight for Czechoslovak independence.
The garden of the European Campus of Sciences Po Paris in Dijon, France is named "Garden of the Agrarians of Antonín Švehla (1873–1933)" in memory of Antonín Švehla. "
