Early Life and Schooling
Lubomír Metnar started working in public service on October 1, 1987. He was part of the Public Security force in Czechoslovakia. Later, from 1992 to 1993, he went to a special police school. This helped him get the right training for his security work.
He also studied economics at the University of Ostrava. There, he earned a master's degree.
Political Career
Metnar was once a member of a political party called BOS. However, he left the party. This happened because some members wanted the Czech Republic to leave important groups like NATO and the European Union. Metnar said he never agreed with leaving these groups.
In late 2017, Metnar announced he wanted to become the Minister of the Interior for the Czech Republic. This job is about keeping the country safe and managing police forces. On December 13, 2017, President Miloš Zeman appointed him to this important role.
Working as a Minister
In June 2018, Lubomír Metnar was given a new job by Prime Minister Andrej Babiš. He became the Minister of Defence for the Czech Republic. This means he was in charge of the country's armed forces and protecting the nation. He then left his role as Minister of the Interior.
On September 29, 2020, Metnar and other government members asked Armenia and Azerbaijan to stop fighting. This was during the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
Becoming a Member of Parliament
In the 2021 Czech parliamentary election, Metnar ran for a seat in parliament. He was a candidate for the ANO 2011 movement in the Moravian-Silesian Region. He received many votes and became a Member of Parliament (MP).
