About me - Piotr Müller

Piotr Müller

Member of the European Parliament from Poland

I am currently serving as a Member of the European Parliament, where I hold the key position of ECR Coordinator for the Committee on Internal Market and Consumer Protection (IMCO). My priority in Brussels is to fight for economic freedom and effectively represent the strategic interests of Poland. I am also a staunch advocate for a strong transatlantic alliance, working to deepen cooperation between the EU and the United States.

Although my work is now centered in Europe, I remain deeply connected to my home region of Pomerania and Słupsk, where my journey began and which remains my home. I am proud to bring the voice of my region to the European stage.

In June 2024, I was elected to the European Parliament. I currently serve as the ECR Coordinator for the Committee on Internal Market and Consumer Protection (IMCO).
From 2019 to 2023, during major global crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine, I served as the Government Spokesperson for Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and as Secretary of State.
From December 2018 to June 2024, I represented Pomerania as a Member of the Polish Parliament (Sejm) during its 8th, 9th, and 10th terms.

The European Conservatives and Reformists Group

Member of the European Parliament

Member of the European Parliament within the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) Group. I hold the strategic position of ECR Coordinator for the Committee on Internal Market and Consumer Protection (IMCO). In this role, I work to eliminate barriers for entrepreneurs and strengthen the European single market.

United States of America

Cooperation with the USA

A strong transatlantic alliance is the cornerstone of our global security. As a Member of the European Parliament, I am a dedicated advocate for deepening the partnership between Poland, the EU, and the United States.

I actively engage with American policymakers to discuss our shared strategic interests. Through meetings in Washington, I consistently champion the causes of economic liberty, regional security, and the protection of freedom of speech.

International Activity

Throughout my time in the Government of the Republic of Poland, I had the privilege of working closely with leaders and diplomats from various countries. Whether through high-level meetings or international collaborations, foreign affairs have been a central part of my diplomatic journey.

Cooperation with Representatives from Around the World

My role as the Government Spokesperson allowed me to engage in crucial dialogues at significant international events. I was actively involved in meetings both within Poland and across the globe, building strong relationships with global leaders and representatives.

Ukraine

Visits to a Country at War

I have visited Ukraine several times. One of my most significant visits was to Kyiv, less than a month after the outbreak of the war. Along with Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, Prime Minister Jarosław Kaczyński, Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala, and Slovenian Prime Minister Janez Janša, we traveled to Kyiv to show our support and solidarity with the Ukrainian people. This was not my only visit to Ukraine since the war began, but it was undoubtedly the most significant.

Brussels

European Council Meetings

As the government spokesperson, I frequently accompanied Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki to European Council meetings in Brussels. I organized press briefings there for both national and international media.

Family

I am proud to be from Pomerania!

I was born in Słupsk. My father is from Gdańsk, my grandfather from Kashubia, and my wife from the Sztum district. This is where my family is, and this is where my roots are.

I owe my upbringing in conservative values to my parents. They always taught me that hard work leads to success, and failures can be turned into victories. My mother, warm and caring, instilled in me sensitivity to the needs of others. Meanwhile, my father is my role model for determination and perseverance.

My father, Edward Müller, was a political prisoner during the communist era in Poland. He was the leader of the underground structures of the “Solidarity” movement in Central Pomerania, later becoming the Chairman of the Słupsk Region’s Solidarity Board and a member of the National Commission. He also served as a Member of Parliament during the 10th term (1989-1991) representing the Civic Parliamentary Club and the 1st term (1991-1993) representing Solidarity. He was awarded the Commander’s Cross of the Order of Polonia Restituta by President Lech Kaczyński for his outstanding contributions to Poland’s democratic transformation.

The Story of One "ü" – The Origin of My Surname

Every family has its own story, and my “ü” has been part of the Müller family in Poland for many generations.

To tell this story, we need to go back to the time of King Stanisław August Poniatowski. Around 250 years ago, my great-great… grandfather settled in what later became the Meducha commune, in the Stanisławów Voivodeship of the Second Polish Republic. It was he who connected the fate of the Müller family with Poland.

In the backdrop of major historical events—partitions, regained independence, the joy of a free Poland, and the horrors of war—my grandfather Józef served in the Polish Army, was interned in Hungary, and became a forced laborer in the Third Reich. After the war, he worked at the Gdańsk Shipyard during the difficult times of the People’s Republic of Poland. Today, we once again enjoy a free and sovereign Poland.

Despite the turbulent history of our country, our family name, including the “ü,” has remained unchanged, accompanying us through the generations.

Hobbies

Although working for society is my passion, over the past few years, I’ve also learned to dedicate time to my loved ones and to my own health.
