Czech ministers form metal band

Entities: Petr Macinka · Eva Pavlová · Oto Klempír · Czech Republic · Kohabitace

Overview

In late July 2026, Czech Culture Minister Oto Klempíř and Foreign Minister Petr Macinka announced they were creating a heavy‑metal group called Kohabitace. The ministers said the band had already assembled, was selecting a studio, and planned to record a debut album during the August governmental holidays, with ambitions to sell out Prague’s Lucerna venue.

A few days later, the announcement attracted a response from First Lady Eva Pavlová, who posted a brief, sarcastic comment on Instagram that drew further online discussion. Media coverage focused on the novelty of two sitting ministers pursuing a music project, sparking light‑hearted debate about their priorities.

The two snapshots together show the initial formation of the band and the subsequent public reaction, illustrating how the story moved from an internal announcement to broader public commentary.
