Zbyněk Stanjura (born 15 February 1964) is a Czech politician who has been serving as Minister of Finance in Petr Fiala's Cabinet since 17 December 2021. He was previously appointed to the Cabinet of Petr Nečas on 12 December 2012, serving as Minister of Transport until July 2013.
Political career
[edit]Early political career
[edit]Stanjura was mayor of Opava between 2002 and 2010.[1] In the 2010 Czech parliamentary election, he was elected to the Moravian-Silesian Region from the fourth place of candidates.[2] Stanjura became chairman of the ODS parliamentary club on 11 May 2011.[3] He was named Minister of Transport in the Cabinet of Petr Nečas from 2012 until 2013.[4]
Post-Nečas Premiership
[edit]In the 2013 Czech parliamentary election, Stanjura ran in the Moravian-Silesian Region as the leader of the ODS.[5] Later that November, he was elected chairman of ODS Parliamentary Club.[6]
In the 2014 Czech municipal elections, Stanjura failed to defend the post of representative of the city of Opava.[7] During the 2017 Czech parliamentary election, he was leader of ODS in the Moravian-Silesian Region,[8] winning 3,648 preferential votes and defended his mandate as a deputy.[9] On 24 October 2017, Stanjura became the new chairman of ODS Parliamentary Club.[10]
Second term as Minister of Finance
[edit]In the 2021 Czech parliamentary election, as a member of ODS, Stanjura was the leader of the Spolu coalition,[11] elected as deputy again.[12] He also became the chairman of ODS Parliamentary Club,[13] but left the position in December and was replaced by Marek Benda.[14]
Stanjura took office as Minister of Finance after the 2021 elections. His stated aim as Finance Minister has been to implement spending cuts and to bring the fiscal deficit below 3 percent of gross domestic product.[15]
Stanjura won 477 votes at the 30th ODS Congress in April 2022, thus defending the position of first vice-chairman of the party.[16] Receiving 383 votes from 527 delegates, he also defended the position at the 31st Party Congress in April 2024.[17]
Controversy
[edit]Stanjura claimed to have sold his third-party company Eskon in 2002, which its sole was his wife, Hana Malurová.[18] Aktuálně.cz relates the company's sale to the wife in connection with then-approved law on asset declaration, which ordered mayors to disclose their assets.[19]
