Miriam Lexmann (born 2 December 1972) is a Slovak politician who has been a Member of the European Parliament since February 2020 and member of the Christian Democratic Movement.

Lexmann is of German descent. Her ancestors came to central Slovakia in 1853.[1] Her great-uncle was Mikuláš Jozef Lexmann, a superior of the Dominican Order whose beatification process began in 2013.[2]

Early life and education

[edit | edit source]

Lexmann was born to Eugen and Marta Lexmann in Bratislava, Slovakia.[3] She has three sisters.[4]

Upon graduation from university, Lexmann worked for the political non-profit International Republican Institute (IRI).[5] She is dedicated to the impact of misinformation on public opinion.[6]

Political career

[edit | edit source]

During the 2019 European Parliament election in Slovakia, Lexmann received 27,833 preferential votes and remained in second place, thus being elected as a member of the European Parliament.[7] Despite this, she would assume the mandate only after Brexit.[8] Regarding the situation, Lexmann said: "I can't say I'm looking forward to Brexit. I see a higher interest in Brexit not happening."[9] She initially wanted to work at her previous workplace,[10] but started working in the faction of the European People's Party after Brexit.[11] She became a full member of the European Parliament Committee on Foreign Affairs (AFET) and was included as a substitute in the European Parliament Subcommittee on Security and Defence (SEDE).[12] Lexmann took the oath on 16 February 2020.[13]

Lexmann is a founding member and EU Co-Chair of the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China (IPAC), which was launched in June 2020.[14]

In November 2023, Lexmann declared that she is considering candidacy in the 2024 Slovak presidential election. [15]

Following the 2024 European elections, Lexmann became a quaestor of the European Parliament, making her part of the Parliament's leadership under President Roberta Metsola.[16]

In November 2025, Lexmann stated[17] that once one of the two married individuals undergoes a legal gender change, the marriage should be considered as no longer valid, as the Slovak Constitution does not allow that.

Personal life

[edit | edit source]

Lexmann got engaged to Christian Democratic Movement Milan Majerský in August 2020.[18] Their wedding took place after the ecclesiastical court found that his first marriage was declared null and void.[19] They got married in the church of Our Lady of the Snow in Bratislava.[20]

In March 2021, Lexmann was placed on China's sanctions list along with ten European politicians and academics[21], thus banned from doing business in China. She stated: "What I'm worried about is that the sanctions could directly hurt people from China that I'm in contact with".[22] The sanctions were lifted by China in April 2025 following negotiations with European Parliament President Roberta Metsola.[23]
