Richard Sulík (Slovak pronunciation: [ˈrixart ˈsuliːk]; born 12 January 1968) is a Slovak politician, economist and businessman. He is the leader of the political party Freedom and Solidarity and served as Deputy Prime Minister for Economy and Minister of Economy in Government of Slovakia led by Eduard Heger. Sulik and his party resigned from the government on 31 August 2022.[1]

Political career

In 2010, Sulík replaced Pavol Paška as the Speaker of Parliament.[2] A former migrant himself, Sulík has strongly opposed the acceptance of subsidiarily protected migrants from the Middle East, and has expressed anti-Islamic views, stating: "I don't want to live in a Europe where more Muslims are born than Christians."[3]

2020

After Freedom and Solidariity received 6% votes in the 2020 Slovak parliamentary election, Sulík was personally promised the Ministry of Economy, to which Igor Matovič denied. They dared to resign, with Matovič saying he would upon accomplishing what he had promised to his voters before the election.[4] Tensions soon arose, the Coalition Agreement signed by the four parties was especially ignored by Matovič, who blamed all problems mostly via multiple social media.[5]

As Freedom and Solidarity tried to block irritational measures due to the lack of regard for locals in specific districts and small business, Matovič asked during a press conference whether Sulík would be the one to go and dig the graves of the senior citizens.[6] Prior to this, all citizens in the country had to get tested within a given date.[7]

2021: Cabinet of Eduard Heger

On 1 April 2021, following Eduard Heger's appointment as prime minister of Slovakia, Sulík was re-appointed deputy prime minister and minister of economy in Cabinet of Eduard Heger. According to most pollsters, the public viewed this measure as wasting public finances.[8]

The same year in September, For the People fell apart and many defected to SaS, including the Minister of Justice. This was a gross violation of the Coalition Agreement, but Sulík insisted that the Minister of Justice Kolíková remains as the Minister of Justice.[9]

2022

Sulík called the failure of early 2022 votes "the greatest defeat in the political career of Igor Matovič".[10] There were also rumours on Matovič only shooting insults at SaS because he was doing horribly in polls.[11] The same year in June, Matovič accused SaS of working with fascists as Republika, another neo-nazi group in parliament, voted against the bill.[12]

Personal life

Sulík has four children: two each with his ex-wife Eva and Alexandra Šikrhová.[13]
