Jindřich Rajchl (born 27 September 1976) is a Czech political activist, lawyer and former football ambassador. He gained a public profile as a leader of demonstrations against measures to control the COVID-19 pandemic in the Czech Republic, and subsequently also against the government of Petr Fiala. He is widely considered to be a participant in the spread of misinformation in the Czech Republic.
Early life and career
Rajchl graduated from the Faculty of Law of Charles University in Prague.[1] He was brought into football[clarification needed] by František Chvalovský, executive director of the Czech club FK Chmel Blšany (2002-2005).[2][3][4] Rajchl was associated[clarification needed] with FK Dukla Prague, then became vice-chairman of the Football Association of the Czech Republic (FAČR).[5]
In 2011, Rajchl attempted unsuccessfully to become chairman of FAČR, failing to gain the support of Roman Berbr [cs], according to news server Aktuálně.cz [cs]. He was also linked to another football ambassador, Ivan Hašek.[6][7]
Between 2011 and 2012, Rajchl was a member of the board of directors of SAZKA, [8] following the company's bankruptcy and the sale of its betting business.[9]
Rajchl worked as a director of the gambling company Bwin for the Czech Republic and Slovakia.[10][11] However, the company closed the office in the former country during his tenure.[12] He also operates two restaurants in Prague.[13]
Political career
As an activist, Rajchl spoke at a number of demonstrations against measures to control the COVID-19 pandemic in the Czech Republic and Russo–Ukrainian war.[14]
Rajchl was a member of the Tricolour Citizens' Movement and ran to become a candidate in the 2018 Czech presidential elections,[15] but suspended his bid before the election. At the party assembly in January 2022, he withdrew his candidacy to become party chair, with Zuzana Majerová re-elected instead.[16]
Rajchl has been a key figure in demonstrations against the Cabinet of Petr Fiala.[17] He is widely considered to be a participant in the spread of misinformation in the Czech Republic,[18][19] including the COVID-19 pandemic.[20]
In June 2022, Rajchl founded a new party, Law, Respect, Expertise (PRO), serving as its founding chair.[21] The party is perceived by some critics as having a pro-Kremlin orientation. The PRO-supported candidate in the 2022 Czech Senate election was also endorsed by outgoing senator Jaroslav Doubrava, an open supporter of Vladimir Putin.[22]
In June 2023, Seznam Zprávy included Rajchl on a list of people who make money by spreading fear and manipulation.[23] He repeatedly predicted that a litre of fuel would cost up to CZK 150.[24] Rajchl also reported the end of the company Kofola, which was in fact doing well.[25] He later discussed this issue with Czech citizens, but Seznam Zprávy reported that the number of participants in these discussions had been overstated.[26]
