I will run for the Sejm – announced former PO leader Grzegorz Schetyna on Radio RMF. He admitted that he did not yet know from which place on the list, although he added “from the one who will give a mandate”. According to him, the issue of one opposition list is not yet closed.
Former Civic Platform leader Grzegorz Schetyna was asked on Radio RMF if he has been “sidetracked” in the party recently, as he is known to have a “very rough friendship” with the head of PO Donald Tusk.
Today, all of us, President Tusk, me, all MPs, Platform activists, care about one thing above all: defeating PiS. Build an election mechanism that will win PiS
Schetyna replied.
Schetyna to the Sejm
When asked if he would run for the Sejm in the upcoming elections, he replied, “I will run for the Sejm. Because every hundred, thousand, 10 thousand, 50 thousand votes will be valid. When asked where he was from, he replied, “We’ll talk about it. From whoever will give me an election mandate.”
Schetyna admitted that only in 1997 he did not run from the first place of the Unia Wolności list and in 2001 of the PO list, moreover in all other elections he was “first on the parliamentary list and first in terms of the election result in the district”.
As he stressed, the issue of a joint opposition list is not yet closed.
I believe it is possible at the very end, in the finals of the election campaign. But it is not the case that one list has to win, as the Hungarian example shows. Maybe two letters, maybe three. This does not preclude electoral success. The main thing is not to compete so that the opposition does not compete with each other, but builds an elementary agreement
Schetyna said.
I expect and I think it would be very important if [Rafał Trzaskowski] along with other popular local government officials, joined the campaign of the democratic opposition, the campaign of PO, KO. He joined, I believe that in general today, in the philosophy of building an opposition agreement, we cannot replace or eliminate anyone, but add, strengthen and support. This is how I see the activity of politicians who are not on the front line today
– added.
Zelensky in Warsaw
Grzegorz Schetyna also commented on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s planned visit to Warsaw.
Very good [wizyta prezydenta Ukrainy], a little late and we wanted this visit to take place earlier, because it is so symbolic. It happened. Before that there was Washington, London, Paris and Brussels. This meeting is important, because we really only saw it at meetings that took place only before or after these visits to Rzeszów
– said Schetyna in an interview with RMF FM.
This is an important, symbolic visit, which is why I said that we would like it earlier, because it is also a time when – as I understand it – President Zelensky will want to thank society’s attitude, open houses, doors, hearts, help, support, such a very emotional and real
he continued.
This visit is also important in a symbolic dimension, in a common view of a difficult history. It is important that he is able to say thanks, to talk about our common history, that we should look at it together, open up, look for what connects us. Name the difficult things in this story. To tell about the massacre in Volhynia, about Operation Vistula. I expect things like this, because it’s a matter of research, opening the archives. All that we must leave to historians, and what should be the basis, the foundation of a new stage of our relations – Schetyna summarized.
