Political career
edit2010s
editKolářík has been a member of the Pirates since 2013, serving as chairman of the regional association of the South Bohemian Region.[1][2] During the 2016 Czech regional elections, he ran for the Pirates in the Representative Office of the South Bohemian Region, but was unsuccessful.[3]
In the 2017 Czech parliamentary election, Kolářík was elected as deputy leader of the Pirates in the South Bohemian Region.[4][5] He later served as deputy chairman of the Committee on Security of the Chamber of Deputies[6] as well as chairman of the Subcommittee on Information Technology and Benefit Systems.[7] Kolářík has served as vice-chairman of Czech Pirate Party parliamentary club since 2018.[8]
Kolářík was elected on the list for Czech Pirate Party as a representative of Katovice in the 2018 Czech municipal elections.[9]
2020s
editDuring the 2020 Czech regional elections in South Bohemia, Kolářík ran from the tenth place of the pirate candidate and became the first alternative candidate.[10]
In the 2021 Czech parliamentary election, Kolářík was the leader of the candidate coalition of Pirates and Mayors in the South Bohemian Region.[11] He did not defend the mandate, thus was not elected.[12]
Kolářík was appointed Deputy Minister of the Interior of the Czech Republic under Vít Rakušan on 22 December 2021,[13] but resigned from this position in July 2023 for personal reasons.[14] The decision was preceded by a fight between two women; Kolářík was supposed to defend his wife Jana, whilst the other woman was supposed to be a ministry employee (assistant), with whom he presumed to have an affair.[15] According to his own words, the assistant threatened him and his wife with a knife.[16] The leadership of Czech Pirate Party invited Kolářík to consider serving in party functions and approached him for addressing the problem late.[17]
Personal life
editKolářík is married and has three daughters.[14]
