Eva Decroix (née Štěpánková, born 26 May 1982) is a Czech businesswoman, lawyer and politician.

Early life

Decroix was born as Eva Štěpánková on 26 May 1982.[1] She runs a law firm in Jihlava and Prague and is dedicated to alternative methods of conflict resolution as a registered mediator.[2]

Political career

In 2016 Czech regional elections, Decroix ran for Civic Democratic Party as a representative of Vysočina Regional Representative, but was not elected.[3] She was only elected in the 2020 elections, originally being as the 12th candidate but ended in third place due to preferential votes.[4]

Decroix failed to run for Civic Democratic Party in the 2018 Czech municipal elections for the City Council of Jihlava.[5] With citizen democrat Petr Laštovička resigned from his mandate at the beginning of 2020, she became the new city representative.[6] In the 2022 municipal elections, Decroix ran for Jihlava council from the 14th place as a candidate of ODS and KDU-ČSL coalition, but was not elected.[7]

In the 2019 European Parliament election, Decroix ran as the sixth ODS candidate, but was unsuccessful and became the third alternate.[8]

During the 2021 Czech parliamentary election, Decroix finished second place as a member of Civic Democratic Party in the Vysočina Region.[9] In January 2022, she became a member of the Subcommittee for the Support of Democracy and Human Rights Abroad before serving as chairwoman the following year.[10]

At the 31st Civic Democratic Party congress in April 2024, Decroix was elected vice-president of the party, receiving 311 votes from 528 party delegates.[11]

Decroix is married to chef Rémy Decroix with two daughters.[12]
