The opposition should not give up one list entirely, but it should not make a fetish that only they will bring a 100% victory, former head of PO Grzegorz Schetyna said on TVN24 on Monday.
Schetyna was asked on TVN24 if he would “wave his hand” on the joint opposition list today.
I would leave it, but I wouldn’t make a fetish that only a joint list gives a 100% victory, and if there is no joint list, we lost the election
Schetyna said.
We started feeding some of our voters the idea of one list, to show that only one list can win against PiS. If this one list does not exist, if this idea is not realized, opposition voters or anti-PiS voters say: they can’t get along, they can’t reach an agreement, they won’t win this election
– said the former head of the PO.
“We are looking for such a Czech project, two coalitions”
In his view, such an approach causes opposition voters to disbelieve in victory. According to the former leader of the PO, today it is necessary to “build relations between the leaders of the opposition”.
We learn not to compete in this campaign, we look for a common program sharer, we say that certain things can be the basis of program cooperation of a joint government, we look for a Czech project, two coalitions
Schetyna said.
Schetyna was asked whether two lists, in accordance with the Czech version, should make it to the elections for the citizens’ coalition along with the left. He admitted that “it will be very difficult to deal with the left” in a formula other than one list of the entire opposition.
Some KO voters would not want such a list because of historical events
– said the PO politician.
I was creating the European coalition and I know how much emotion it caused to build it in such a broad way
– added.
According to Schetyna, opposition leaders should agree on joint research that everyone can trust.
Such a study could reveal which alliances are the most advantageous from an election outcome point of view. Maybe that’s the key to finding an agreement
– said the former head of the PO.
Will Donald Tusk listen to the former chairman of his party and stop talking about one opposition list? Grzegorz Schetyna refers to the sad experience of the European opposition coalition, which is also often mentioned by PSL politicians.
