Politics

As a teenager in the 1990s he was a member of the Young Social Democrats Federation.,[6] and at 20, he joined the Democratic Left Alliance (SLD), the then-dominant party in Poland.[1] In 2002 and 2004 he was a councillor in the town of Wołomin, near Warsaw.[1] At the 2010 Polish local elections he was elected at the Masovian Regional Assembly for SLD.[1] The next year he was a candidate for Parliament (Sejm).

In 2016 he was appointed as co-leader of the Democratic Left Alliance.[4] However, after almost twenty years he gave up his affiliation with the Alliance.[7]

In May he was a candidate to the European Parliament but was not one of the 3 left-wing candidates elected.[8] However in October of the same year, he was a candidate to the Sejm for the Bydgoszcz constituency in the North-West, and was elected (see List of 9th term Sejm MPs). He was appointed Leader of the parliamentary club.
