Lívia Járóka (born 6 October 1974) is a Hungarian politician. She is a Member of the European Parliament, first elected as part of the Fidesz list in 2004. Járóka is the second Romani (and the first Romani woman) ever elected to the European Parliament (after Juan de Dios Ramírez Heredia from Spain, who served from 1986 to 1999).<ref>Template:Cite book</ref>
Járóka grew up in Sopron, a town near Hungary's western border with Austria. Her father is ethnically Roma, her mother Hungarian. After getting an MA in sociology from the Warsaw campus of the Central European University on a scholarship from the Open Society Institute she went on to study anthropology in Britain, focusing on Romani issues and culture. In August 2003 she had a daughter and a son in 2007. In 2012 she finished her PhD in Social Anthropology at the University College London.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
Járóka has been criticized as an apologist for the treatment of Hungarian Roma by her party, Fidesz.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> She has also declined to criticize Fidesz' campaign against George Soros,<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> and the party's attacks on her alma mater, the Central European University.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
Memberships
She was a member of the Committee on Women's Rights and Gender Equality and the Delegation for relations with South Africa. She was a substitute member of the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs, as well the Delegation for relations with the Korean Peninsula.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
In 2014 she retired as an MEP but returned on 15 September 2017 after Ildikó Gáll-Pelcz left the European Parliament. She was elected a Vice-President of the European Parliament on 15 November 2017. She was re-elected in that position on 3 July 2019.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> She served as Vice-President until 17 January 2022.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
