Polish MP Aleksandra Uznańska‑Wiśniewska returns to Sejm after childbirth
Aleksandra Uznańska‑Wiśniewska, a member of the Civic Coalition, gave birth to her first child, a son, on 25 May 2026. Eight weeks later, on 29 July 2026, she resumed her parliamentary duties in the Sejm. She posted a video of her entry to the chamber on social media, showing colleagues greeting her with smiles, hugs and embraces.
The warm welcome coincided with the opening of the 63rd sitting of the Sejm. Her husband, astronaut Sławosz Uznański‑Wiśniewski, who recently flew on the “Ignis” space mission, also featured in coverage of the family event. The return has been highlighted as a positive example of workplace support for new mothers in Polish politics.
