Political career

2010s

In the 2010 Czech municipal elections, Hladík was elected representative of the Brno-sever district,[3] later for the KDU-ČSL was elected councilor of the city district.[4] He also ran for the KDU-ČSL for the large Brno council, but was unsuccessful.[5]

In the 2014 Czech municipal elections, Hladík defended his representative mandate as the leader of the KDU-ČSL candidate,[6] after which he became a representative of Brno.[7]

In the 2012 and 2016 Czech regional elections, Hladík was a candidate for the KDU-ČSL for the Representative Office of the South Moravian Region.[8][9] He ran for the KDU-ČSL in the South Moravian Region for the Chamber of Deputies of the Czech Republic [10] and the European Parliament, respectively in 2013 and 2014.[11] [12] On 21 June 2016, after the renewal of the city coalition, Hladík was elected 1st deputy mayor of the Brno.[13]

On 18 June 2015, Hladík was elected deputy mayor of the city district for the areas of capital construction, education, culture and sports, social affairs, and informatics.[14]

In the 2018 Brno municipal election, Hladík was the leader of the KDU-ČSL candidate for the position of mayor.[15] He won the post of city representative (he received 15,374 preferential votes),[16] defending the mandate of the representative of the Brno-sever district.[17] Hladík was in charge of healthcare, education, sports, spatial planning and the environment.[18] In August 2022, he dismissed the director of Brno Zoo, Martina Hovorká, later appointed its former employee Radana Dungelová.[19]

On 30 March 2019, Hladík was elected as the new vice-chairman of the KDU-ČSL,[20] whilst defending the position at an extraordinary party congress in January 2020,[21] as well as the party congress in April 2022.[22] After the 2021 Czech parliamentary election,[23] Hladík stated that he would not accept this offer.[24]

2020s

In 2022 Czech municipal elections, from the position of a member of the KDU-ČSL, Hladík was the leader of the joint candidate of the KDU-ČSL and STAN movement for the City Council of Brno.[25] He also ran on a separate KDU-ČSL candidate list for the Representative Office of the Brno-sever municipal district.[26] He retired as deputy mayor of Brno in October 2022.[27]

In October 2022, Hladík was nominated by the wider leadership of the KDU-ČSL as the successor to the Minister of the Environment of the Czech Republic, Anna Hubáčková.[28] The same month, the police arrested ten people for allegedly buying apartments, but he was not accused.[29] However, KDU-ČSL did not nominate him to the government, and Marian Jurečka was entrusted with the management of the ministry as of 1 November 2022 by the President Miloš Zeman.[30] In December 2022, Prime Minister Petr Fiala sent a proposal to President Zeman to appoint Hladík as Minister of the Environment.[31]

After the meeting with Hladík held 4 January 2023, Zeman decided not to comply with the proposal for appointment as a minister.[32] Two days later, Jurečka stated after a party presidium meeting that Hladík had been appointed Deputy Minister of the Environment with effect from 9 January 2023, with the former remaining his job.[33] On 28 February 2023, Fiala announced after a meeting with the newly-elected president Petr Pavel that Hladík would be appointed as Minister of Environment.[34]

Controversy

In January 2023, Seznam Zprávy published information that Hladík's vote was reported to be overpriced purchase of land belonging to Brno from Hladík's acquaintance Martin Unzeitig,[35] which was reported by the company Kverulant in January 2023.[36] However, this announcement was postponed in April by Mestský údram Šlapanice, stating that the transfer of the land in question to the ownership of a land in Brno is in the public interest, not Hladík's.[37]

In November 2023, the Ministry of Justice apologised to Hladík for the non-pecuniary damage caused by the improper action of the judge of the Municipal Court in Brno, Aleš Dufek, who published unauthorised information from the search warrant for Hladík's office, despite Hladík not being prosecuted.[1]
