Denisa Saková (born 17 April 1976) is a Slovak business ingeneur, politician of the Smer – SD and former Minister of the Interior of the Slovak Republic from April 2018 to March 2020.
Saková studied Engineering management at University of Economics in Bratislava. She subsequently worked in various companies in the IT industry. First of all at DELTA E.S., a.s. as a consultant. Between 2001 and 2003 she worked for Cap Gemini Ernst & Young in Bratislava and Berlin. From 2003 to 2007, Sakova worked for E.ON IT Slovakia, s.r.o. as Director of the Application Department.[1]
She then switched to the Ministry of The Interior under Minister Robert Kaliňák as Secretary of State of the Slovak Ministry of the Interior. Following the murder of investigative journalist Ján Kuciak and his fiancée on 21 February 2018, Robert Kaliňák, who is suspected of corruption, was forced to resign in the wake of mass protests at the beginning of March 2018. The non-partisan Tomas Drucker was appointed as his successor. He also resigned after less than a month in office. He justified his move, saying that he could not represent the dismissal of the police chief Tibor Gaspar, which he expected, and that he did not want to further polarize society.[2]
Robert Fico appointed Denisa Sakova as Minister of the Interior on 25 April 2018. She was succeeded in the post by Roman Mikulec of the Ordinary People Party after the 2020 Slovak parliamentary election.[3]
