Biography
Krzysztof Bosak represents the modern face of Poland's nationalist right, blending youthful energy with a deeply traditionalist ideology. His political roots are in the All-Polish Youth, a historically nationalist student organization he once chaired. Elected to the Sejm first in 2005, he spent a period outside parliament before returning in 2019 as a leading voice for the Confederation party, a coalition of right-wing and libertarian groups. As Deputy Marshal of the Sejm, he holds a senior parliamentary role that platforms his views on national sovereignty, conservative social values, and skepticism of the European Union. His 2020 presidential bid, while unsuccessful, solidified his status as a standard-bearer for a faction seeking to push Polish politics further to the right, making him a pivotal and polarizing figure in the country's ongoing cultural debates.
Millennials
1981–1996
The first digital natives. Grew up with the internet, came of age during 9/11 and the 2008 crash. Highly educated, deeply indebted, slower to marry and buy houses. Redefined work, identity, and what it means to be an adult.
Krzysztof was born in 1982, placing them squarely in the Millennials. The events that shaped this generation — the internet revolution, 9/11, and the 2008 financial crisis — shaped the world they entered and the choices available to them.
