Ján Podmanický (born 17 May 1977) is a Slovak politician. He has served as a member of the National Council since 2006. He has also been the Mayor of his home village of Stará Bystrica since 2003.[1] For most of his political career, he has been a member of the Direction – Slovak Social Democracy party.
In 2020 he joined fellow MPs Marián Kéry and Tomáš Taraba to establish a Conservative Platform. He subsequently left Direction – Slovak Social Democracy, which he has been a member of since the beginning of his political career and became an independent MP. Podmanický justified his departure by his unwillingness to accept the leftward shift of the party ideology.[2]
