My name is Marek Rząsa, I was born on October 4, 1957. I am married, my wife is Krystyna, we have three children. Agnieszka - a graduate of German Philology at the Jagiellonian University, Piotr - a graduate of Physical Education at the University of Rzeszów and postgraduate studies at the AGH University of Science and Technology, and Paweł - a graduate of English Philology at the University of Warsaw. Since February 2014, I have been the proud grandfather of twins Eliza and Maksymilian.
In 2002, I became a Councilor of the 4th Term of the City Council in Przemyśl. Four years later, I was once again blessed with the support of voters, with a result four times better. In the years 2006-2009, I was the vice-chairman and chairman of the City Council.
For over 30 years, I was a physical education teacher and a long-time director of the Aleksander Fredro Teachers' College in Przemyśl. I am active in the Academic Sports Association and I am also an instructor of the Polish Scouting Association.
On June 24, 2009, I was sworn in as a Member of the Sejm of the Republic of Poland. In 2011, with a result of 9204 votes, I was again elected to the Sejm. In 2015, 14,562 voters once again trusted me and I became a Member of the Sejm of the Republic of Poland of the 8th term. I was re-elected for the 9th (10,555 votes) and 10th (13,510 votes) terms in 2019 and 2023. In the current term, I am a member of the Legislative and Communications with Poles Abroad Committee, of which I am the vice-chair. Since 2015, I have been the chairman of the Polish-Mongolian Parliamentary Group. In the 10th term, I am the Chairman of the Polish-Georgian Parliamentary Group. My priorities are education and science, physical culture, public safety and social welfare, as well as constant contact with the Polish diaspora around the world and Poles in the East. In the years 2011-2019 I was a member of the presidium of the Civic Platform Parliamentary Club. I am currently a member of the Civic Coalition Parliamentary Club.
In my free time I like listening to audiobooks and music (still Pink Floyd) and doing sports recreationally. For years I have been supporting sports teams from Przemyśl. You can meet me at football, basketball, handball and recently futsal matches. If the team from Przemyśl is not playing, I wholeheartedly support Real Madrid. Since 2011 I have been organizing a very popular, amateur holiday tournament "Football Tuesdays", in which children from Przemyśl and nearby towns participate. For years we have been hosting teams from Ukraine, thanks to which the tournament fulfills an integration role.
As an MP, I try to actively and directly participate in the life of my city and region. I do not always have the opportunity to talk to voters in person, which is why I pay a lot of attention to IT achievements that make contact much easier.
Today it seems a bit archaic, but I was the first councilor in Przemyśl with my own website. Currently - thanks to social media, on which I regularly participate - I have the opportunity to present my activities and at the same time familiarize myself with the remarks, opinions and comments of voters.
