Let's make this birthday one to remember.

83 years old (Born on June 19, 1941)

Happy Birthday, Václav Klaus! From steering the Czech Republic through its early years as Prime Minister (1993–1998) to serving a decade-long presidency (2003–2013), you've certainly proven that politics can be both serious and stylish. Who else could make economic reforms look so effortlessly cool?

Your legacy includes founding the Civic Democratic Party and championing free-market principles—achievements still celebrated today. While some politicians fade into history books, your sharp wit and bold opinions keep you timelessly relevant. Here's wishing you another year filled with spirited debates, memorable quotes, and perhaps fewer pens mysteriously disappearing during official ceremonies! Cheers!
