Biography
[edit]Augustín Hambálek was born on 16 July 1957 in Trnava.[1] He studied management at the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava, graduating in 1981. Afterwards, he worked as an economist for city council in Trnava. In 2002 he was elected a Deputy Governor of the Trnava Region.[2]
In the 2012 Slovak parliamentary election, Hambálek was elected MP on the list of Direction – Social Democracy but refused to give up his position as the Deputy Governor of the Trnava Region.[3] In addition to holding multiple public offices at the same time, another MP Miroslav Beblavý accused Hambálek of not disclosing his business interests and property holdings in full.[4] Over his tenure as an MP, he has been among the least active members of the National Council.[5] Nonetheless, he is among the longest serving MPs. In 2020 Slovak parliamentary election, he returned to the National Council as a replacement for the deceased MP Ľubomír Petrák.[6]
