Małgorzata Handzlik

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Małgorzata Handzlik (born January 1, 1965 in Bielsko-Biała) is a member of the European Parliament. She was elected in 2004 by the Polish people as a candidate of Citizens Platform (Platforma Obywatelska, "PO"). She learned Esperanto in the 1980s during her travels with her husband Georgo Handzlik, a popular Esperanto singer, writer, publisher, and teacher.[1]

Apart from promoting her (in European terminology, liberal-conservative) party's objectives Handzlik has declared to stand in for multilingualism and equal linguistic rights for all citizens. Handzlik is a fluent speaker of Esperanto and proposes to investigate the possible role of this language as a second language for all Europeans.
