Branislav Škripek (born 30 August 1970) is a Slovak politician. He has served as Member of the National Council of Slovakia since 2023, having previously served as an MP from 2012 to 2014. From 2014 to 2019 he served as a Member of the European Parliament.

Early life

Škripek was born in Piešťany.[1] He studied Catholic Theology at the Comenius University. Following his graduation, he started a Charismatic community in Bratislava, which has included the prime minister Eduard Heger. In addition, Škripek translated Christian literature and edited a Christian magazine.[2]

Politics

In the 2012 Slovak parliamentary election Škripek became an MP for the populist movement Ordinary People and Independent Personalities (OĽaNO). He gained media notoriety for scolding fellow MPs for being rude to each other and attempting to ban depictions of nudity in the media.[3][4] In 2014 European Parliament election in Slovakia, Škripek gained the sole OĽaNO mandate by preferential votes. In the EP, he was a member of the European Christian Political Movement and a part of the European Conservatives and Reformists group.[1]

In the 2019 European Parliament election in Slovakia, Škripek was not included on the OĽaNO list due to his conflict with the party leader Igor Matovič.[5][6] Subsequently he joined another snubbed former MEP, Anna Záborská and co-founded a new party called Christian Union.[7][8]

Although the Christian Union failed to pass the representation threshold in the European Elections, it beat expectations by receiving over 3% of the vote as a new party with limited notability and resources.[9] In spite of Škripek's opposition, Christian Union leaders other than himself ran in the 2020 Slovak parliamentary election on the OĽaNO list.[10] In 2023 elections, Škripek united with KDH, from where Záborská once departed, to aid in united conservative and Christian democratic electorate and aid in return to parliament after 7 years.[11]

Personal life

Škripek is married to a fellow Charismatic Christian Andrea. They have two sons together.[12] In addition, before his marriage Škripek adopted a disabled five year old orphan Marcel. Marcel died at the age of twenty two.[13]

Human rights movement in the Soviet Union

In 1965 a human rights movement emerged in the USSR. Those actively involved did not share a single set of beliefs. Many wanted a variety of civil rights — freedom of expression, of religious belief, of national self-determination. To some it was crucial to provide a truthful record of what was happening in the country, not the heavily censored version provided in official media outlets. Others still were reform Communists who thought it possible to change the Soviet system for the better. ...
