The news that Bogusław Sonik, being pushed out of the PO, is finally electrifying the party. A number of politicians comment on the decision of the former PO member of parliament.
PO spokesman Jan Grabiec told PAP that Sonik had not worked with the club for a long time.
He voted differently from the Civic Coalition on important issues
the spokesperson added.
I think he chose a different place in politics, or outside politics. These are his personal decisions
Grabiec said.
I have the impression that he has not been very involved in politics and work in the Sejm in recent years
– added.
When asked if he thinks Sonik will decide to run for the Sejm from lists like PSL and Poland 2050, the PO spokesman replied: “I don’t know. Ask him if he will choose PiS or another party, or that he will run at all.
Bochenek: PO is a party centrally controlled by Tusk
The situation with Bogusław Sonik shows how Civic Platform is not a very democratic party, it is a party centrally controlled by Donald Tusk, said PiS spokesman Rafał Bochenek, referring to the information about Sonik’s departure from the PO.
Bogusław Sonik announced in the morning conversation with RMF FM that he will leave Civic Platform on Tuesday.
Today I leave the Platform (…) such separations after 22 years are certainly difficult; I think our ways have finally parted
– he said, judging that the PO had “turned left”.
The PiS spokesperson admitted in his response to this information that he was not surprised by such an assessment of the situation in the PO.
The current situation with Bogusław Sonik shows how little the PO is a democratic party. He talks a lot about democracy, talks a lot about the debate within the party, while Bogusław Sonik said directly during today’s interview, which was also a bit of a surprise to us, that no one had spoken to him. In fact, everything is imposed from above by management. This shows how the PO actually functions nowadays, which is a party that is centrally controlled by Donald Tusk, because Donald Tusk wants to run it that way
said Bochenek.
Boguslaw Sonik left PO. Congratulations! He must have been relieved, and how!
he wrote on Twitter Jacek Saryusz-WolskiPiS MEP, formerly associated with PO.
Bogusław Sonik is a good parliamentarian. The decision on possible cooperation is made by the president and the leadership of the party. With us he could feel safe with his views, because in the field of worldview everyone votes according to his conscience
– he emphasized on RMF FM Piotr Zgorzelskideputy chairman of the Sejm.
