Michal Hasek

Interior Minister Hamacek named former regional governor, former CSSD first deputy head Michal Hasek (photo) as new deputy minister replacing Kulhanek, on Tuesday, April 27, 2021. In the mid-2010s, Hasek left top politics over a controversy on the Czech political scene following the 2013 general election. Hasek, the former governor of South Moravia and former head of the Czech Regions' Association, attended the so-called Lany meeting, at which several high-ranking CSSD officials negotiated with President Milos Zeman about unseating Bohuslav Sobotka as the leader of the CSSD and its team negotiating about the formation of the new government in the autumn 2013. Sobotka then survived the attempted internal coup, became prime minister and many of his opponents withdrew from high posts. (CTK Photo/Ondrej Deml)
