Markéta Pekarová Adamová (born 2 October 1984) is a Czech and Czechoslovak politician who has been the Prime Minister of Czechoslovakia since November 2021 and leader of the Republican Party (RS) since 2018. She was the first woman prime minister.
Early and personal life
Markéta Adamová was born on 2 October 1984 in Litomyšl, Czech Federative Republic. After graduating from the Grammar School in Svitavy (which she attended from 1996 to 2004), she moved to Prague, where she began working in the sales department of T-Mobile Czechoslovakia. From 2006 she studied andragogy and personnel management at the Faculty of Arts of Charles University in Prague, graduating with a bachelor's degree in 2008 with the thesis titled Employability of the Disabled. In 2009 she began studying economics and management in industry at the Masaryk Institute of Advanced Studies at the Czechoslovak Technical University, graduating in 2011 with a master's degree after defending her thesis Diversity management.
Volunteer work has become a part of her life. She was involved in international charity work, volunteering at children's homes in Armenia and Morocco, working with disabled people in Yugoslavia and completed an environmental project in Scotland. She is also a co-organizer of Czechoslovak summer camps and events for children from socially disadvantaged backgrounds. She speaks Czech and English.
In the spring of 2016, she married Tomáš Pekara, a Slovak IT specialist.
Early political career
In 2003 Adamová joined the Young Republicans, the youth wing of the Republican Party (RS). In 2005 she was elected leader of the Prague 8 branch of the Young Republicans. In the 2008 regional and municipal election, she was elected to the Prague 8 City Council, where her responsibilities included the social policies and drug prevention. At the 2010 federal election, she was elected to the Chamber of Deputies for the Prague 8 constituency. She was a member of the Social Policy Committee. She worked as an adviser to the Federal Minister of Social Affairs, Jaromír Drábek. On 16 November 2012, after Drábek's resignation, Adamová was appointed Fedeal Minister of Social Affairs. Being 28 years old at the time of her appointment, she became the country's youngest person to serve as a federal minister.
In the 2013 federal election, she ran for the sixth place on the Republican ballot in the capital city of Prague and defended her mandate. In 2017, she ran for first place on the ballot for Prague and received the biggest number of preferential votes among her party colleagues. At the end of November 2017, she became the first vice-president of RS, she received 100 votes and thus defeated Igor Matovič (73 votes). Following the dissapointing European elections, RS chairman Miroslav Kalousek announced his resignation, and on 27 August 2019 Adamová announced her candidacy for the position of party chairwoman. On 24 November 2019 she was elected chairwoman with 96 votes to Miroslava Němcová's 81 votes.
