Bíró graduated as a technical salesman in Salgótarján. He joined Fidesz after the party lost the 2002 Hungarian parliamentary election. He was elected a member of the Nógrád County Assembly during the 2006 local elections. He functioned as party director of the local Fidesz branch in Northern Hungary.[3] In the Hungarian parliament, Bíró was involved in the Defence and Internal Security Committee from 21 June 2010 to 1 May 2021, and in the Committee on Consumer Protection for a brief time in May–June 2010.[2]
According to former Democratic Coalition (DK) politician Bálint Szabó, Bíró played a role in the leaking of Ferenc Gyurcsány's speech in Balatonőszöd in May 2006. On June 27, 2013, Szabó said Eduardo Rózsa-Flores gave the recording to Bíró. The speech was made public several months later, which led to the 2006 protests in Hungary.[4]
