Miroslava Němcová (born November 17, 1952 in Nové Město na Moravě ) is a Czech politician of the ODS party . Němcová was the first woman in this office to be President of the Chamber of Deputies , the Czech Parliament , from 2010-2013 .

Life

After completing her training, she worked as a specialist at the Czech Statistical Office from 1972 to 1992 . Then she opened a bookshop in Žďár nad Sázavou , where she still lives today.

Němcová joined the ODS in 1992 and was elected to the city parliament of Žďár nad Sázavou in 1994. In 1996 she ran unsuccessfully for a seat in the Senate , the second chamber of the Czech Parliament. Since the 1998 elections , however, she has been a member of the Chamber of Deputies, where she was elected deputy group leader of the ODS. After the 2002 elections , she was also Vice-President of the Chamber of Deputies. After the election to the House of Representatives in 2006, which ended in a parliamentary stalemate between the left and the right, her election as President of the Chamber, proposed by the ODS, failed. However, she was later elected First Vice President. Němcová was from 2002 to 2006 - and has been again since June 20, 2010 - deputy party leader of the ODS. From 2010 to 2012 she was first deputy chairwoman. After the resignation of the incumbent President of the Chamber of Deputies Miloslav Vlček in April 2010, she served as provisional President of the Chamber of Deputies for a few weeks.

After the House of Representatives election in 2010 , Němcová was finally elected President of the Chamber of Deputies, in which the ODS is now only the second largest parliamentary group behind the social democratic ČSSD . However, she prevailed with all 118 to 79 votes of the then center-right coalition against the social democratic candidate and former chairman of the Chamber of Deputies (2002-2006) Lubomír Zaorálek . Miroslava Němcová, who is always relatively popular in opinion polls, has long been considered a possible candidate for the ODS for the 2013 presidential election , but she declined to run.

On June 19, 2013, Miroslava Němcová was nominated by the ODS party leadership to succeed Prime Minister Petr Nečas , who resigned on June 17 because of a corruption and wiretapping affair . However, President Zeman bypassed Němcová when forming a government and instead appointed Jiří Rusnok as the new prime minister on June 25, 2013 and instructed him to form an "expert government" . Since the expert government formed by Rusnok could not find a majority in the House of Representatives, but there was also no majority for a Němcová government, there were early elections . Němcová came here as the top candidate of the ODS . Němcová, however, could not stop the fall in popularity of the ODS that occurred during the legislative period : The party received only 7.72% of the vote (-12.5%).

When the newly elected Chamber of Deputies was constituted on November 27, 2013, Němcová was proposed for the role of one of the four vice-chairmen of the Chamber of Deputies. In a direct vote against Miroslav Kalousek ( item 09 ) and Tomio Okamura ( Ùsvit ), however, she received the fewest votes and is therefore no longer a member of the parliamentary presidium .

Němcová ran for chairmanship at the ODS party conference in January 2014. The new chairman, however, was former Minister of Education Petr Fiala . Němcová is no longer part of the narrow ODS management.

Němcová is married and has one son. In addition to Czech, she also speaks Italian, German and English.
