Life
Lénart became a member of the Executive Committee of the KPČ in 1958, to which he belonged until 1968.

He held this office until the Prague Spring . On April 8, 1968, his government Jozef Lenárt was replaced by the Oldřich Černík I government .
In August 1968 he was one of the supporters of the invasion of Soviet troops into the Czechoslovakia to smash the reform policy of the Prague Spring. In 1970 he was again a member of the Executive Committee of the KPČ and at the same time First Secretary of the Slovak Communist Party. During the following years, the so-called normalization period after the Prague Spring, Lenárt was a key figure in the Communist Party. After the collapse of the communist regime, he lost his position as a member of the Executive Committee in 1989 and was expelled from the KPČ. A year earlier he was replaced as First Secretary of the Slovak Communist Party.
He was subsequently charged with treason and charged with attempting to create the legal basis for the invasion of Soviet army units. Although Lenárt was a Slovak by birth, he stayed in the Czech Republic after the collapse of Czechoslovakia and was granted Czech citizenship . In September 2002, he was acquitted of treason charges by a court .
