Roman Mikulec (born 18 March 1972) is a Slovak politician and former soldier who served as the Interior Minister of Slovakia from 2020 to 2023.[1] He was succeeded by Ivan Šimko in May 2023.[2]
In 1994, Mikulec graduated with a Master's degree at the Military Air Force Academy in Košice (today Faculty of Aeronautics of Technical University of Košice). He also holds a M.Sc. in law, economics and management from the Brno International Business School (B.I.B.S.).[1]
After a short time as a fighter pilot, in 1997 Mikulec joined the Military Intelligence Service, eventually becoming its director.[1][3] He was charged with sabotage, defamation and disclosing classified information in 2013, but was acquitted in 2019.[1][4][5]
In2020 parliamentary election, Mikulec stood for Ordinary People, an anti-corruption party. He received 7435 preferential votes and was elected to the National Council.[6]
Mikulec was made Minister for the Interior on 21 March 2020.[1] He survived a no-confidence motion on 20 September 2022; there were 58 votes for the motion, 48 against and 39 abstentions.[7] The motion failed because a majority of the National Council, 76 votes, was needed for it to be passed.[7] He survived another no-confidence motion on 1 December where there were 71 votes for, 47 against and 23 abstentions.[8] The Heger government itself lost a no confidence vote on 15 December,[9] ruling as an interim administration until a technocratic caretaker government was formed by Ľudovít Ódor in May 2023.[10] Mikulec was then replaced by Ivan Šimko.[2]
