Life

education and profession

Renata Alt was born in Skalica in the Slovak part of Czechoslovakia in 1965. She graduated from high school in 1983, then studied chemistry at the Slovak Technical University in Bratislava until 1987 . She wrote her diploma thesis on "Characterization of the inhibitory effect of cephalosporins on the synthesis of the cell wall in bacteria".

After her apprenticeship, she worked at Technopol, a foreign trade company in the machine and food industry. In 1991, Alt moved to the Ministry of Foreign Trade in Prague, where she worked in the Europe and EEC department. In 1992 the ministry sent her to the Czechoslovak (later Slovak) consulate general in Munich, where she held the position of economic attaché until 1993.

From 1994 to 2017 Alt worked in consulting in the field of foreign trade and foreign relations. Since 1997 she has also been a scientific advisor in the field of health and food chemistry.

Political commitment

Alt joined the FDP in 2009 and has since been a member of the State Committee on International Politics, which she has been chairing since 2019. In addition, she has been a member of the Federal Committee on International Politics since 2010. Alt has been a member of the district board of the FDP Kreis Esslingen since 2014, and a member of the state board of the FDP Baden-Württemberg since 2015 . Since 2015 she has also been deputy chairwoman and press spokeswoman for the FDP local association in Kirchheim-Weilheim-Lenninger Tal.

MPs

Alt ran for various elections several times: in 2013, the state party congress of the FDP Baden-Württemberg nominated her for 19th place on the list for the 2013 federal election , and she also ran for a direct mandate in the Nürtingen constituency . Since the FDP did not exceed the five percent hurdle, Alt did not move into parliament. In her constituency she won 2.5 percent of the first votes and was sixth behind the candidates from the CDU, SPD, Greens, Die Linke and AfD.

In the 2014 European elections , her party nominated her for second place on the Baden-Württemberg state list and ninth place on the federal list. Since the FDP won 3.4 percent nationwide (and thus three mandates), Alt did not get a chance.

In 2016, the state party congress of the FDP Baden-Württemberg nominated Alt for the seventh place on the list in the 2017 federal election , and again she ran for a direct seat in the Nürtingen constituency . The FDP won 8.7 percent in Baden-Württemberg, so 12 members of the FDP - and thus also old ones - moved into the 19th German Bundestag. In her constituency she won 9.9 percent of the first votes and was fifth behind the candidates from the CDU, SPD, Greens and AfD.

In her election campaigns, Alt saw the issues of internal security as well as foreign and European policy as her priorities.

Renata Alt has been a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee since 2017 , where she is rapporteur for Central and Eastern Europe, Ukraine, Russia and the Balkans. In addition, she is the chairwoman of the sub-committee for civil crisis prevention, conflict management and networked action. She is an alternate member of the Health Committee . In the FDP parliamentary group, Renata Alt is deputy chair of the working group “Freedom and Human Rights Worldwide”. In the Bundestag she is at the same time chairwoman of the parliamentary group Czech Republic-Slovakia-Hungary and deputy chairwoman of the parliamentary group Southeast Europe.
