Fact check: no, Fiala is not planning to win elections with 2.5 million Sudeten Germans

A chain email is spreading a false conspiracy theory alleging that Prime Minister Petr Fiala intends to secure election victory by granting Czech citizenship to 2.5 million Sudeten Germans. The claim references an ongoing amendment to the citizenship law, which would ease access to citizenship for descendants of Czech exiles. However, experts reject the theory as unrealistic. Vladimír Handl from Charles University calls it "political science fiction," noting there is no such government strategy. According to the foreign ministry, the amendment would impact at most tens of thousands, not millions, and it is unlikely to be enacted before the upcoming elections.
