Smiskek Announces Illness, Declares, “You Can’t Shake Me So Easily”

On Wednesday, 15 October, Polish MEP Krzysztof Śmiszek posted on social media that he is seriously ill and vowed he would survive.

Official Statement and Public Support

In a heartfelt message, Śmiszek thanked supporters for the outpouring of encouragement and warm words following reports of his health crisis. He reassured everyone that he would live on, promising that he would not be “easily gotten rid of.”

Health Focus and Remote Parliamentary Duties

He stressed the need to concentrate on his health for the time being, explaining that nothing is more important. Despite this, he is spending more time in Poland where, alongside rehabilitation, he continues to fulfill his responsibilities as an MEP. He noted that he still participates in parliamentary work from Brussels and Wrocław via remote means.

Commitment to Return and Patient Advocacy

Śmiszek emphasized that he is not neglecting himself and intends to return to full activity within a few weeks. He urges others to keep in mind those who have lost loved ones due to the restrictions of Polish law, which prevents patients from visiting hospitals or ensuring a proper goodbye with their nearest kin. He said the left will chart a path toward change that becomes law, and he will not rest until that is achieved.

Robert Biedroń disclosed that Śmiszek’s partner is gravely ill, not working, on sick leave, and undergoing intensive therapy. Biedroń criticized the current Polish legislation for failing to adequately protect people in informal partnerships, adding that even after 23 years of being together, they face a “truly difficult and dramatic” situation without state support.
