Brawling on the floor of the lower house, rejecting the measures instituted to stop the pandemic in the Czech Republic, demonstratively refusing to wear a facemask, convening demonstrations during a time of strict lockdown. That is the current agenda of Czech MP Lubomír Volný, whose Facebook posts are now also being shared by Romani men and women with comments of praise.
Volný has managed to attract attention and, thanks to his appearances in Parliament and at demonstrations, has fought his way through to being one of the most-watched politicians on Czech social media. So: who is he?
What kind of past does this politician have? What kind of opinions has he expressed about Romani people?
