Article
Petr Fiala ([ˈpɛtr̩ ˈfɪjala]; born 1 September 1964) is a Czech politician and political scientist who served as the prime minister of the Czech Republic from 2021 to 2025 and leader of the Civic Democratic Party (ODS) from 2014 to 2026. He previously served as the Minister of Education, Youth and Sports from 2012 to 2013. Prior to entering politics, he was the rector of Masaryk University.
Fiala was first elected to the Chamber of Deputies as a non-partisan in the 2013 election. He won the 2014 Civic Democratic Party leadership election, promising to reform the party and regain public trust after a corruption scandal involving Prime Minister Petr Nečas. Fiala's party finished a distant second place in the 2017 parliamentary election, and remained in opposition despite multiple offers from the incoming Prime Minister Andrej Babiš to participate in his governing coalition.
