Gabriela Matečná (born 28 November 1964 in Poprad)[1] is a Slovak agriculturalist and politician. Between 2016 and 2020, she served as the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development. Since 2018, she is a member of the Slovak National Party.[2]
Matečná graduated from the Slovak University of Agriculture. Since 2008, she worked at the Slovak Land Fund - the government agency responsible for managing government owned agricultural land. In 2012, she became the CEO of the Fund as a nominee of the Direction – Slovak Social Democracy party.[3] As a CEO, she faced accusations of helping people connected to the Prime Minister Robert Fico to buy lucrative state-owned land.[4]
Matečná became the Minister of Agriculture in 2016 as a nominee, but not a member of, the Slovak National Party. She became a member of the party in 2018. After the Slovak National Party failed to pass the representation threshold in the 2020 Slovak parliamentary election, she retired from politics.[5]
