Michal Horáček is a Czech entrepreneur, lyricist, poet, writer, journalist and producer. From 2007 until 2010, he was a chairman of the Czech Academy of Popular Music.
In April 2016, Horáček announced his possible candidacy for President of the Czech Republic in the 2018 election. He launched his presidential campaign on 3 November 2016.
Horáček announced his candidacy on 7 October 2016. He officially launched his campaign on 3 November 2016. He said that he wants his campaign to be based on respect for all people and their opinions.
Horáček announced his advisers on 9 February 2017, including: Magda Vasaryova, former Slovak presidential candidate; Dana Drábová, a nuclear energy safety expert; and surgeon Pavel Pafko. In 16 April 2017, Horáček started gathering the 50,000 signatures required for participation in the election. On 6 May he stated that he had gathered the required number of signatures.
Horáček once said that "left-wing thinking isn't thinking", but later said that he had changed his mind and started to consider it more seriously. He describes himself as neither left-wing nor right-wing, but his platform for the 2018 presidential election was described by political scientists as left-wing. He supports European Union membership but would not oppose a referendum about leaving it.
Horáček stated in July 2016 that opposing immigration was "like opposing rain", and added that Czechs have historically helped immigrants. In March 2017 he expressed opposition to migration quotas, saying that the Czech Republic should not accept immigrants that Czechs do not want to accept. In April 2017 Horáček said that he is against the construction of mosques in the Czech Republic, and said that in his view there is a huge difference between Czech and Islamic culture.
