My Story
Read moreI am Ivan Štefanec: husband, father, and grandfather. I represent the citizens of Slovakia in the
European Parliament with great pride and protect and promote the values we all stand for.
My main contributions to European politics include helping small and medium sized businesses,
minimizing unnecessary bureaucratic red tape, expanding digitalization as well as education,
protecting consumer rights, and ensuring the principle of subsidiarity is maintained. You can
always turn to me and trust me with your suggestions and questions.

Ivan Štefanec is an excellent leader of the Slovak delegation who can be relied upon and whose work and unambiguous consistent attitudes helped both Slovakia and Europe in important moments. I greatly appreciate also his activities as the President of SME Europe for improving the situation of small companies. I believe we'll continue to cooperate in the coming years as well to improve the lives of the people of EU.
Manfred Weber, MEP, Chairman of the EPP Group

Ivan Štefanec is a strong representative of the Slovak Christian Democratic Party in the European Parliament and together, we stand for these Christian and European values values in the EU. Our common work for freedom of speech was recognized when a traineeship for journalists was named after Slovak hero, journalists Ján Kuciak.
Antonio Tajani, MEP, Italian politician and former Italian Army officer, serving as President of the European Parliament from 2017 to 2019

Ivan Štefanec is an excellent representative of his country in the European Parliament with whom I share many views on the present and future of Europe. I appreciate that he never hesitates to help when he is needed.
Janusz Lewandowski, MEP, Polish politician, former European Commissioner for Financial Programming Budget

I'm greatly pleased that I got to know people like Ivan Štefanec in the European Parliament. Our cooperation was manifested in many successful actions and I look forward to work together in the future.
Jaromír Štětina, former MEP, former Vice-Chair of the Subcommittee on Security and Defence

Czechs and Slovaks are each other´s closest allies in the European Parliament. This also applies to Heads of Delegations. We have always found common ground with Ivan Štefanec and that's not just because we're both economists. It's terrific when we can advise and help each other. I fully support his candidacy in this elections!
Luděk Niedermayer, MEP, Head of Czech EPP delegation, TOP 09

Ivan Štefanec is a colleague with whom I get along very well. Together, we have baked, organized a Czecho-Slovak mass in the Cathedral in Strasbourg, and handed over the cross to the President of the European Parliament. I look forward to working with him in the future and organizing many more events together!
Michaela Šojdrová, MEP, KDÚ-ČSL

Ivan Štefanec represents Slovakia and the Christian Democrats in the best possible way at the European level and guarantees our positions are taken into account. Through his work as the President of SME Europe (the most important organization for protecting the rights of small business in the European Parliament), he has contributed to the introduction of new rules for cars, advanced the fights against dual quality of products, improved the position of small businesses, and protected the rights of small farmers. His rich managerial and political experience is a great prerequisite for the growth of a Christian Democracy in Europe and Slovakia.
Alojz Hlina, former Chairman of KDH

I met Ivan Štefanec back when he was the President of the Business
Alliance of Slovakia and before entering the EU, we competed for the
position of European Commissioner. I’m glad he accepted my offer to
join the Christian Democrats and he has strengthened our positions
on both the Slovak and European scenes. Among other things, we are
currently expanding the foundation of Anton Tuneg. I look forward to
every future collaboration for the advancement of the Christian
Democratic Party.
Ján Figel, former Special Envoy for promotion of freedom of religion outside the EU

I am glad that Ivan Štefanec has been my colleague for a few years
now and that he leads the Slovak delegation. I know that I can always
count on him and for me, he is insurance of clear values and a bright
future.
Eduard Kukan, former MEP

Dnes by sa dožil 70 rokov Jiří Schelinger - spevák, ktorý bol svojho času československou legendou a zanechal svoju výraznú stopu. Pred 40 rokmi zahynul v Bratislave za doteraz nie celkom jasných okolností...
Jeho skladby si občas rád pripomeniem. Najmä "Holubí dům."
Príjemné počúvanie, priatelia! :)

Dnes mi prišiel po mesiaci negatívny test na COVID. Hneď som z toho pozitívnejší (v nálade) najmä keď pred 4 týždňami som bol v testoch pozitívny a rovnako tak ešte aj pred 2 týždňami.
Prajem Vám a všetkým Vašim blízkym pevné zdravie, priatelia! :)

Pavla Čekana treba počúvať.
Dodržiavanie postupov chráni zdravie ľudí.
Nedodržiavanie ho ohrozuje.
Aké jednoduché a dôležité.

Maďarský Fidesz roky porušoval pravidlá, ktoré rešpektujú všetky strany združené v našej Európskej ľudovej strane. Ctíme si slobodu slova, nezávislosť médií a akademickej sféry. Predstavitelia Fideszu robili v praktickej politike presný opak. Aj preto mal od roku 2019 pozastavené členstvo. Teraz odchádza v EP na vlastnú cestu a tak je to aj správne. Mrzí ma, že Maďarsko nemá kvalitnejšiu politickú reprezentáciu, no verím, že sa to v blízkej budúcnosti zmení.

Okrem zdravotnej stránky krízy musíme myslieť aj na dopady, ktoré sú vyvolané stratou pracovných miest v rôznych sektoroch. Desaťtisíce a státisíce ľudí sa prepadá na hranicu chudoby. V rámci Európskej ľudovej strany sme rozbehli diskusiu o obnove pracovných miest, čo musí byť prvoradou úlohou pre každého zodpovedného politika. #jobsjobsjobs
