Biography
Katarzyna Cichos was born in 1986[1] and graduated from the University of Silesia in Katowice,[2] attaining a doctoral degree in law in June 2016.[3]
Cichos worked in several NGOs and is employed at the Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University.[4][5]
Cichos contested the 2014 local elections, simultaneously contesting the seat of Mayor of Siemianowice Śląskie, for which she won 2,142 votes (9.67%) and didn't enter the runoff,[6] and a seat to the city council of Siemianowice Śląskie, which she won with 387 votes (6.42%),[7] both with the backing of the Silesian Autonomy Movement,[8][9][10] despite not being a member of the party.[11] Following the election, Cichos' disagreement with and disassociation from the Movement led to it cutting ties and even unsuccessfully demanding Cichos' resignation from her seat.[12][13] She left the city council in 2017, a year prior to the 2018 local elections.[1]
In 2016, Cichos was nominated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to become the vice-consul in the General Consulate of the Republic of Poland in Manchester . However, after accusations of being a separatist due to her former ties with the Silesian Autonomy Movement, her nomination was withdrawn.[11][12][13]
In 2025, Cichos declared her candidacy for the 2025 Polish presidential election, along the founding of the "center-right, meritocratic, pro-development" Platform for the Development of Poland.[1] She is the author of the book "Moja droga, Moja Polska".[4]
