Leszek Miller
Leszek Cezary Miller (born 3 July 1946) is a Polish politician who served as prime minister of Poland from 2001 to 2004. He served a single term in the European Parliament from 2019 to 2024.
From 1989 to 1990, Miller was a member of the Politburo of the Polish United Workers' Party. He was the leader of the Democratic Left Alliance from 1999 to 2004 and again from 2011 to 2016.
Leszek Miller was born in Żyrardów to a poor, working-class family. When he was six months old, his parents separated. His father did not remain in his life thereafter. He was raised by his mother in the Catholic faith, and served as an altar boy at their church.
After graduating from school, 17-year-old Miller got a job in the Textile Linen Plant in Żyrardów while continuing his education in the evenings at the Vocational Secondary School of Electric Power Engineering. He later completed his military service on the ORP Bielik submarine.
Miller started his political career as an activist of the Socialist Youth Union, where he held the position of Chairman of the Plant Board, soon becoming a member of the Town Committee. After the military service, in 1969, he joined the Polish United Workers' Party (PZPR), People's Poland's communist party.
Many people were pressured to join PZPR in order to advance in their careers or to pursue higher education. Miller used his affiliation with the Communist party to effectively advance in his studies and professional goals.[neutrality is disputed]
In 1973 and 1974, Miller was the Secretary of the PZPR Plant Committee. With the party's recommendation, he started political sciences studies at the party's Higher School of Political Sciences (Wyższa Szkoła Nauk Społecznych), graduating in 1977. After graduation, Miller worked at the PZPR Central Committee, supervising the Group, and later on the Department of Youth, Physical Education and Tourism.
In July 1986, Miller was elected as First Secretary of the PZPR Provincial Committee in Skierniewice. In December 1988, he returned to Warsaw, due to his promotion to the position of the Secretary of the PZPR Central Committee. As a representative of the government side, he took part in the session of the historic "Round Table", where, together with Andrzej Celiński, he co-chaired the sub-team for youth issues (the only one that closed the session without signing the agreement). In 1989, he became a member of the PZPR Political Bureau.
