Škripek was born in Piešťany.[1] He studied Catholic Theology at the Comenius University. Following his graduation, he started a Charismatic community in Bratislava, which has included the prime minister Eduard Heger. In addition, Škripek translated Christian literature and edited a Christian magazine.[2]
Although the Christian Union failed to pass the representation threshold in the European Elections, it beat expectations by receiving over 3% of the vote as a new party with limited notability and resources.[9] In spite of Škripek's opposition, Christian Union leaders other than himself ran in the 2020 Slovak parliamentary election on the OĽaNO list.[10] In 2023 elections, Škripek united with KDH, from where Záborská once departed, to aid in united conservative and Christian democratic electorate and aid in return to parliament after 7 years.[11]
Personal life
Škripek is married to a fellow Charismatic Christian Andrea. They have two sons together.[12] In addition, before his marriage Škripek adopted a disabled five year old orphan Marcel. Marcel died at the age of twenty two.[13]
