Michal Hašek (born 17 April 1976) is a Czech politician and former Governor of South Moravian Region. From 2002 until 2014, Hašek served as the member of the Chamber of Deputies (MP).
In the shadow cabinet of former Prime Minister Jiří Paroubek he was the shadow Minister of Agriculture.
He's a graduate of the Faculty of Law of Masaryk University. He also possess a juris degree, but it is often seen as a very controversial one as it has been obtained at very obscure law school in the southwestern town of Sládkovičovo in Slovakia. Furthermore, his thesis has been led by a friend to Hašek and a Social Democrat from the Slovakia’s left-leaning Smer party. This is often seen as an example of clientelism in central European politics
Hašek is married and has one daughter.
In October 2013, shortly after the Czech legislative election, Hašek and his allies from the ČSSD called on the Chairman Bohuslav Sobotka to resign due to the party's poor election result and eliminated him from the team negotiating the next government. However, the further course of events showed that Hašek and his allies attended a secret post-election meeting with another ally, the Czech President Miloš Zeman and possibly negotiated a 'coup' in the ČSSD with him. Hašek had previously denied the accusations, stating in the Czech Television that "there was no meeting", however, his allies (deputies Milan Chovanec, Zdeněk Škromach, Jeroným Tejc and Jiří Zimola) later admitted that the meeting took place. The event sparked public protests in the country and eventually led to Hašek's apology. He, however, refused to resign.
