Andrej Stančík (born 1 June 1995) is a Slovak politician, who has been an MP of the National Council since 2020. He is a member of the Ordinary People and Independent Personalities (OĽANO) movement caucus.[1]

Early life

Stančík was born in Piešťany and studied International Relations at the Masaryk University, graduating in 2019. He pursued PhD at the same university, but suspended his studies when he was named state secretary.[2]

Member of the parliament

Stančík ran in the 2020 Slovak parliamentary election on the OĽANO list.[3] He was elected to parliament.[1] In October 2022 he joined the government as a State Secretary at the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs and had to give up his MP seat as per the Slovak Constitution which prohibits government members to sit in the parliament for the duration of their membership in the government.[4]

Personal life

His uncle Dušan Velič (1966–2023) was the State Secretary of Investment, Regional Development, and Informatization at the same time when Stančík was a member of the government.[5]
