Krzysztof Brejza
Member of the European Parliament | Lawyer
Krzysztof Brejza is a distinguished Polish politician and legal expert currently serving as a Member of the European Parliament (MEP), where he plays an active role on the Committees on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs, and Foreign Affairs, including EU Enlargement. A dedicated member of the Civic Platform party, Brejza brings over two decades of public service and legislative experience to the European stage.
Born in Bydgoszcz, Poland, in 1983, Brejza holds a Master of Laws degree from the University of Warsaw and a Doctor of Juridical Science degree from the SWPS University of Social Sciences and Humanities. He also completed advanced studies in International Relations, reflecting his commitment to global dialogue and democratic governance.
His political career began at the regional level in the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Regional Assembly before entering the national legislature in 2007 as a Member of the Sejm, where he served three consecutive terms. In 2019, he was elected to the Polish Senate, and in 2024, he assumed his current role in the European Parliament.
Brejza is a vocal advocate for European security, democratic integrity, civil rights, and digital security. In 2021, he was at the center of a high-profile surveillance scandal, after revelations that Pegasus spyware was used against him during the 2019 parliamentary elections while he was leading the Civic Coalition’s campaign. His response to these events has only strengthened his resolve to protect democratic institutions and individual freedoms across Europe.
Today, Krzysztof Brejza remains a key voice in shaping European policy on justice, human rights, and democratic resilience.
