Petr Nečas (born 19 November 1964; Czech pronunciation: [ˈpɛtr̩ ˈnɛtʃas]) is a former Czech politician who served as 9th Prime Minister of the Czech Republic and Leader of the Civic Democratic Party from 2010 to 2013, and as Member of Parliament (MP) for Zlín Region from 1993 to 2013.
Born in Uherské Hradiště, Nečas earned doctor of natural sciences degree at Masaryk University in Brno from physics. In 1991, he was one of the co-founders of the Civic Democratic Party (ODS). Becoming an MP in 1993, he served as a member of the Foreign Committee of the Chamber of Deputies and three years later, he became Chairman of the Committee on Security. In 2006, Nečas was appointed as Minister of Labour and Social Affairs under leadership of Prime Minister Mirek Topolánek. In the Chamber of Deputies, he was given nickname Fidel by the communist MPs due to his long filibustering. The 2010 legislative election led to Nečas becoming Prime Minister as the head of the coalition government with TOP 09 and Public Affairs (VV) (later replaced by Liberal Democrats). His premiership was marked by the ongoing effects of the late-2000s financial crisis; these involved a large deficit in government finances that his government sought to reduce through austerity measures. Cabinet led by Nečas pushed on restitutions of the properties of the Christian Churches, pensionary reform and reform of the colleges, all of the mentioned were deeply unpopular and criticized.
