Czech MP Lubomír Volný is continuing to make money on the most impoverished Romani residents of the excluded locality in Ostrava-Přívoz where he owns two buildings that he is neglecting. Currently he has been drawing attention to himself by refusing to follow the rules in place during the pandemic and has become a star among those opposed to wearing facemasks - and paradoxically, many Romani men and women are praising him for that on social media.Just as he did two years ago, the MP is responding to the critique of his exploiting impoverished people for his own benefit by threatening to evict his Romani tenants. That was his response when he was questioned by reporter Martin Mikule on the Czech Television program "168 Hours" (168 hodin).

Mikule asked the MP repeatedly whether he was ashamed to rent housing that is absolutely substandard to these tenants. "If you, as a public broadcasting reporter, ask me one more time whether I'm ashamed because they have been destroying the housing, I won't extend their rental contracts and it will be your fault," the MP said on camera, to which the reporter responded that Volný was using the tenants as a "human shield".
