We do not want to participate in the elections on our own, we will do everything to achieve an election agreement between the opposition – said the president of Sopot and the chairman of the Local Government Movement “Yes! For Poland” Jacek Karnowski at the movement’s Monday press conference.
During the conference of the Self-Government Movement on Monday “Yes! For Poland”, journalists asked local government activists whether a decision had been made to lead the movement in the parliamentary elections, as in a recent poll by “Rzeczpospolita” the movement, associated with the name of the mayor of Warsaw, Rafał Trzaskowski, took third place on his own.
Local government officials are waiting
We do not have the ambition to participate in elections alone. We want to defend our small homelands
The president replied, “Yes! For Poland” Jacek Karnowski.
Our dream was the unity of the opposition, but our dream is now at least the cooperation of the opposition. That is why we will support anyone and any opposition force that will try to remove PiS from power
– added.
He assured that the movement was in talks “with everyone in the opposition to save this cooperation”.
These forces shouldn’t go separately, says simple math
– he said.
It’s not about how many of us get on the lists, we want to save our homeland. We talk to everyone, we will talk until we succeed
– added.
To win the elections you have to be the most united, which was also understood by Jarosław Kaczyński. I’ve repeated it many times: one list full of success, two lists: success, three lists: on the edge, four lists: tragedy
Karnowski said.
I hope one day we will sit at a round table and he calls for such a table
– added.
However, Karnowski admitted something!
When asked whether the poll in “Rzeczpospolita” was commissioned by “Yes! For Poland” admitted that the survey was commissioned by “some members of the movement”.
We are not asking to start our own business, that would contradict our whole idea
he stressed.
He admitted that Trzaskowski’s name was included in the survey because he is the head of the movement’s political council.
Although I would regret not being in this poll
Karnowski said.
We were founded to strengthen local government, not to break the opposition
– assured Senator Vadim Tyszkiewicz.
We call on all political leaders to unite to remove the worst post-1989 vermin from power
– added.
Rise in the prices of energy carriers
The main topic of Monday’s press conference of the representatives of the Local Government Movement “Yes! For Poland” was the recent rise in energy prices. Local government officials stressed that it is so large that they cannot balance it with their own budgets.
This poses a serious threat to the functioning of our institutions
– said the Marshal of the Mazowieckie Voivodeship, Adam Struzik.
It is puzzling that at the same time the revenues of energy companies are enormous and that all this is at the expense of consumers
– added.
The mayor of Wołomin, Elżbieta Radwan, more than 100 percent led by example. increase electricity and gas prices for schools and kindergartens in his municipality between January and December 2022. In turn, Sosnowiec Mayor Arkadiusz Chęciński said that you now have to pay 40 percent for preparing meals for schools and kindergartens. more.

For Poland”, which showed that local government officials could count on a double-digit result in the elections if they released their own list. survey conducted on January 24-26 PiS could count on 22 percent, the Civic Coalition on 17.4 percent and the Local Government Movement “Yes! For Poland” – at 10.7 percent.
