Erika Mária Szűcs (born April 2, 1951 ) is a Hungarian bank manager and politician . Almost a year from May 2008 Minister for Labor and Social Affairs, she sat for the MSZP and the DK as a member of the Hungarian Parliament between 2004 and 2014 .

Career

Szűcs studied at the Karl Marx University of Economics , where she graduated in 1974 and 1981 respectively. Later she completed an advanced study at the University of Miskolc .

Szűcs initially worked for a construction company in communist Hungary, before switching to banking at the turn of 1989/90 and henceforth working for Magyar Hitelbank in lending. In 1993 she went to Miskolc- based Agrobank as chairwoman . After the takeover by Mezőbank in 1996, she moved to the head of Rákóczi Bank until 1999 , which had to file for bankruptcy in 2000. Investigations indicated irregularities under her leadership, but the investigation into her was closed due to lack of evidence.

In 2002 Szűcs took over the post of mayor in Miskolc. In 2004 she succeeded MSZP MP Zita Gurmai , who was elected to the European Parliament , in the Hungarian Parliament and retained her MP after the 2006 parliamentary elections . In the course of a cabinet reshuffle by Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsány , she inherited Mónika Lamperth as Minister for Labor and Social Affairs in May 2008 . After a constructive vote of no confidence by the ruling MSZP on April 14, 2009, the government was reshuffled again under the previous Development and Economic Affairs Minister, Gordon Bajnai , as a result of which Szűcs relinquished her government office to László Herczog . However, she continued to work as a Member of Parliament after the 2010 election .

At the end of 2010, Szűcs took a leading position in the platform of the Democratic Coalition founded by Gyurcsány, which split off from the (MSZP) on October 22, 2011 and was constituted as an independent party, Demokratikus Koalíció. She sat in the Hungarian parliament until the parliamentary elections in 2014 , but then missed re-entry.
