Early political career

[edit]

Pekarová Adamová joined newly-created political party TOP 09 in 2009. A year later, in the municipal elections, she was elected to the Municipal Council of Prague 8 and subsequently to the Council of the City for Prague 8, responsible for social affairs, drug prevention and European funds.[2] She also ran in the city-wide municipal elections, but was not elected.[3]

In the 2013 parliamentary election, Pekarová Adamová was elected as a TOP 09 candidate from sixth place on the candidate list in Prague.[4]

In the 2014 municipal elections, she defended the post of representative of the Municipal District of Prague 8 for TOP 09.[5]

At the fourth National Assembly of TOP 09 in November 2015 in Prague, she was elected vice-president of the party.[6]

In the 2017 Czech parliamentary election, Pekarová Adamová ran from the second place on the Prague candidate list for TOP 09, and defended her mandate.[7] At the end of November 2017, she was elected first vice-president of TOP 09, defeating Lukáš Otys [cs].[8]

At the end of August 2019, Pekarová Adamová announced that she would run for the position of party chair at the TOP 09 autumn conference.[9] On 24 November, Pekarová Adamová was elected president of TOP 09, defeating senator Tomáš Czernin [cs].[10]

TOP 09 Leadership

[edit]

On 10 November 2021, Pekarová Adamová was elected President of the Chamber of Deputies of the Czech Republic with 102 votes.[11] On 20 November 2021, she was reelected in a TOP 09 leadership election as the only candidate, with 163 of 176 votes.[12]

On 9 March 2023, Pekarová Adamová and Prime Minister Petr Fiala served for 14 hours as acting co-presidents, as the term President Miloš Zeman had expired and new president Petr Pavel was yet to be sworn in.[13] On 11 November, she was re-elected in a TOP 09 leadership election as the only candidate, with 142 of 177 votes.[14]

Political positions

[edit]

On 23 May 2020, Pekarová Adamová supported a joint statement by Foreign Minister Tomáš Petříček, Culture Minister Lubomír Zaorálek and former Foreign Minister Karel Schwarzenberg condemning the planned Israeli annexation of Jerusalem.[15] She said that "Israel is our ally and friend, and constructive criticism is appropriate in such relations".[15] In December 2023, Pekarová Adamová and Miloš Vystrčil flew to Israel to express moral and political support for Israel in the war with Hamas.[16]

In June 2020, Pekarová Adamová expressed opposition to mandatory quotas for the redistribution of migrants within the European Union, arguing for the acceptance of refugees on a voluntary basis, and criticised the government of Andrej Babiš for "refusing to help our partners from the EU with the acceptance of even a few dozen orphans."[17]

In November 2020, Pekarová Adamová welcomed Democrat Joe Biden's victory in the United States presidential election, declaring that the departure of Donald Trump would be the best news for the US.[18] Ahead of the 2022 Hungarian parliamentary election, she expressed her wish for voters to reject Viktor Orbán.[19]

Having previously opposed same-sex marriage,[20] Pekarová Adamová subsequently shifted her position, and was among a group of MPs proposing a legislative change to allow same-sex couples to marry.[21]

Personal life

[edit]

Pekarová Adamová is bilingual in Czech and English.[2] She has been married to Slovak IT specialist Tomáš Pekára since 2016.[22] Her religion is Roman Catholic.[23]
