A former dentist, Macek is well known for his association with current Czech President V*clav Klaus, his deep implication in the occult funding of Klaus' ODS party, his attempt to ``privatise'' for himself a large publishing company. In May 2006 Macek made international news when, coming from behind, he struck the Minister of Health David Rath at a dentists' conference, accusing him of having insulted his wife (after Rath had publicly stated that Macek had married his wife for money).
