On the level: Filip Turek didn't secure a ministry, but not even President Pavel can deny him first place among the clowns of Czech politics.
The accumulation of cases associated with the character of honorary president Filip Turek is so numerous that it can hardly be about one person. In this respect, his abilities are truly enormous, and he has provided observers with so much entertainment in the humor-laden domestic politics like few others.
Filip Turek somehow embodies the entire history of absurd situations that have prompted more than one cold compress on the head and incomprehensible grimaces at what publicly active politicians dare to do.
If we look at recent events, Turek recently amused with nervous fidgeting and nose wiping on XTV. The private television is a favorite loudspeaker for government politicians, and those from the Motorists Party are particularly fond of presenting their insights there. It is also worth noting the originality of the title of honorary president of the party, who sits in the parliamentary seat in its shirt and collects additional functions, but is not actually a member. Why he is the president of the party (while competitive parties do not have presidents) is something no one has understood so far.
Filip Turek Confused by Pills and Begging for Cocaine
During the last shoot, Turek commented on his state by saying he was "confused by pills," and since the internet has an elephant's memory, social networks quickly recalled singer Samir Hauser's story: "Filip Turek acted in my video for a gram of cocaine," the singer commented at his book launch about how the future MEP and MP was begging for cocaine during the video shoot in which he participated.
However, Turkovi lacks originality here. Not long ago, ODS politicians amused the internet with their "Brno alternative", where the mayor of the largest Moravian city, Markéta Vaňková, was seen eyeing lines of an illegal substance that comes to us from the production of South American mafias, accompanied by criminal activity marked by piles of dead people.
The Turk also repeated the classic trick of studying at a private and now defunct fast-track school (he himself then boastfully talks about it as the times “when he studied law”) and could also comment on his property by saying that even crystal is not more crystal-clear. The late former Prime Minister Stanislav Gross lost an exceptionally promising political career due to the unclear origin of his property. At just thirty-five years old, he was sitting in the prime minister's chair.
Questions about Filip Turk's assets also arose in Nora Fridrichová's podcast, Law of the Jungle. The GreenDeal representative admitted to a handy 70 million in assets, but according to tax returns, his companies did not earn even a fraction of this amount, and there is no known employment where he could earn a salary adequate to acquiring this wealth.
According to Filip Turk's brief words, he "invested." And here we might defend him. He invested his time in polishing the fenders of businessman and friend of the bosses of the Czech underworld, Richard Chlad.
For the repair work on the Chlad car park, Turek was possibly generously rewarded, sponsored the Motorists, and they could dig something up for him in politics. But these are just speculations, no matter how logical they may seem.
Turek and the Disappearance of Logic
Many cleverly disguised insights towards the environment lack logic.
"So when these people talk about physics or chemistry, I am more amused," commented the statements of representatives of the party managing the Ministry of the Environment, in an interview for LP-Life.cz by scientist and influencer Daniel Kortus.
Less comical, however, is Turek's unabashed neo-Nazism. His childish dodging in front of the president then turned a serious matter into a tragicomic caricature with a subsequent exclamation about "Heiling in the face."
Much could be written about the life and work of Filip Turek. From his famous victory in a go-kart over a small child or his fast driving on the German highway near Ostrava to being the king of absentees in the House.
Among Czech politicians, he is perhaps only missing one thing. That he would make history with a productive act, perhaps preparing some law that will remain in the statute books for many years and be associated with his name. For now, however, he suffices in the role of the court jester of the domestic political landscape.
