We have candidates who want to fight for Senator seats and regain some of the districts that we lost in 2019, keep the districts that we currently have. We want to retake the Senate, PiS Secretary General Krzysztof Sobolewski said Tuesday.
“We want the Senate back.”
Sobolewski, who was a guest on Polish Radio’s first program, was asked about PiS’s reaction to the signing of the Senate pact scheduled for Tuesday by the Civic Platform, the Left, PSL and Poland 2050.
The devil is in the details, and the details are the candidates. As far as I know they won’t be announced in the next few days because there’s no decision here and there’s no clearance in at least a few places so let’s wait for this Senate pact to clear up
– he said.
For our part of course there will be candidates that want to fight for seats in the Senators and win back some of the districts that we lost in 2019 keep what we have at the moment so this is our goal for the upcoming election
– said the secretary general of PiS.
We want the Senate back
– added.
Senate pact of the opposition
The first senatorial pact was concluded before the parliamentary elections in 2019 by the main opposition groups – Civic Coalition, PSL and the left. Although it was not strictly enforced everywhere (e.g. in Łódź Krzysztof Kwiatkowski, a former PO politician, ran as an independent candidate and defeated the candidate of the left, Małgorzata Niewiadomska-Cudak, there were also constituencies where, for example, candidates from PSL and the left fought), thanks to him, the opposition together won at least the Senate elections, although Law and Justice won the Sejm elections.
