Biography
János Áder (born 9 May 1959) is a Hungarian politician and lawyer who served as President of Hungary from 2012 to 2022. A member of Fidesz, he took part in the Hungarian Round Table Talks during the end of communism in Hungary in 1989, before serving as a member of the National Assembly of Hungary from 1990 to 2009 and as its speaker from 1998 to 2002. He temporarily presided Fidesz between 2002 and 2003. He served as leader of the Fidesz parliamentary group between 2002 and 2006.
Áder was elected as an MEP during the 2009 European Parliament election. He was Deputy Chairman of the European Parliament Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety from January to May 2012, when he was elected president after his predecessor Pál Schmitt resigned due to a plagiarism controversy. Áder was the first president to serve two terms since Árpád Göncz, and was thus barred from re-election in 2022; he was succeeded by fellow Fidesz politician Katalin Novák.
