Info | Karolína Peake (born 10 October 1975), née Karolína Kvačková, is a Czech politician. She is a Deputy Prime Minister of the Czech Republic. She was elected to the Chamber of Deputies in the 2010 election, representing Public Affairs (VV), but left in April 2012 with seven other MPs.[1] The party she founded after breaking away from VV took the name "LIDEM", which means "for the people" in Czech, and is also based on the first letters of "Liberal Democrats".[2] She was appointed Minister of Defense in December 2012, but was dismissed by Prime Minister Petr Nečas eight days later, due to criticism of her rapid replacement of ministry deputies. After her departure from the office, she promised to leave the government with all of her party representatives but did not do so, leading to accusations of her being an unprincipled politician.[3]
She was a member of Civic Democratic Party between 1997 and 1998, during her studies at university. In 1999 he graduated from the Faculty of Law at the Charles University and married Charles Peake, an Australian manager of Czech-Chinese origin. After this, she worked as trainee lawyer in the Czech branch of Baker & McKenzie. She gave birth to her sons Sebastian, and Theodor, with whom she took five years parental leave. Thereafter, she began to be involved in local politics, including campaigns to save a local park and to extend local children's playgrounds. In 2006, she was elected to the town council of Prague 1 as independent for Public Affairs
