Adrian Zandberg's Journey
Early Life and Education
Adrian Zandberg was born in 1979 in Aalborg, Denmark. His parents had moved there from Poland in 1967. In 1985, when he was six years old, his family moved back to Poland.
He went to Warsaw University to study history. Later, he earned a special degree called a doctorate. This was for his research on left-wing social democratic movements in Britain and Germany. He also studied computer science at a Polish-Japanese computing school.
Starting in Politics
Adrian Zandberg became interested in politics while he was a student. In 2001, he wrote an article with a famous civil rights activist, Jacek Kuroń. The article was about making society fairer in Poland.
He became the head of the youth group for the Labour United party. He also helped create the Federation of Young Socialists. Zandberg describes himself as a socialist and a democratic socialist. This means he believes in a society where everyone has equal opportunities and the government helps people.
Founding Partia Razem
In May 2015, Adrian Zandberg helped start a new political party called Partia Razem. He was chosen to be one of the nine members on the party's main board.
In October 2015, he was the top candidate for Razem in the parliamentary elections in Warsaw. During a TV debate before the elections, he spoke for his party. He was the only one among eight politicians who said Poland should accept Syrian war refugees without conditions. Many people thought he did very well in the debate. This made more media outlets interested in him and his party.
Even though he received many votes (49,711), his party did not get enough votes to win seats in the Sejm that year.
Becoming a Member of Parliament
Adrian Zandberg was later elected to the Sejm in the 2019 parliamentary election. For this election, Razem joined with other parties to form a bigger group called The Left. As part of this group, Zandberg became one of 49 members elected to parliament.
In 2022, he became one of the co-leaders of Partia Razem. He was chosen again as co-leader in 2024. In January 2025, it was announced that Zandberg would be Razem's candidate for the 2025 presidential election.
