Věra Adámková is a Czech politician, since 2017 a member of the Chamber of Deputies of the Czech Republic, and a member of the ANO 2011 movement. Her original profession is a doctor. In 2020, it became the centre of attention following the announcement by the then Minister of Health, Adam Vojtěch, regarding the development of a Czech vaccine against COVID-19, which was criticized, for example, by the Learned Society of the Czech Republic. At the same time, she chairs the Board of Directors of the General Health Insurance Company.
She usually abstains from voting on resolutions that are anti-Russian. For example, she abstained from the approval of the residence and military training of members of the Ukrainian armed forces on the territory of the Czech Republic until 2023. She also abstained on a resolution in which the Chamber of Deputies described the current Russian regime as a terrorist state. Moreover, together with Vondráček, a delegation of deputies from the Committee for Education and the Committee for Health went to Russia. The entire delegation acquired sharp criticism from the then-opposition after its return.
Due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the inter-parliamentary body of the Czech Republic-Russian Federation has for a long time brought together deputies who have no problem with the Kremlin’s approach and often meet with its officials, which was encouraged by the group itself. Its members, including ANO’s Věra Adámková, were allowed to legitimize the Kremlin’s aggressive policy. MPs Věra Adámková (ANO) took part in the Health for All conference in Moscow at the turn of November and December 2019. In their way, they legitimized the Kremlin’s aggressive approach and exposed themselves to the risk of intelligence compromise.
