The opposition groups that make up the Senate Pact can agree not only on the lists, but also on whether or not there is disagreement in the opposition on this issue. In addition, as “Gazeta Wyborcza” reports, one of the groups can count on an extra place in Mazovia. It would be a politician from the left with a “really hot name”. Interestingly, the opposition has not nominated a candidate in the constituency of Senator Jan Maria Jackowski, who recently left the PiS parliamentary club.
Substituting for the left?
As I hear from an important member who knows the provisions of the pact, everything has been agreed. – We have 65 places all over Poland, we can confidently fight for another 10. Several of them are in Mazovia – says the politician, referring to internal investigation
– writes the journalist from “Gazeta Wyborcza”.
As we learn further, the candidate from the left will take the place in Mazovia.
moreover, it would be a “really hot name”. Does this mean that the politician of the left will leave Warsaw?
– we read on. It turns out that a decision on this matter could be made “in the next few days” at a meeting between Donald Tusk and Włodzimierz Czarzasty. In such a situation, the current senators would be moved to the Sejm list and, according to “Wyborcza’s interlocutor”, from the left side of the political scene.
“Our electorate would not understand
Marek Borowski and Aleksander Pociej can be sure of a start in Mazovia. Two positions remain vacant. One of the MPs from the left says in an interview with “GW” that after the recently deceased Senator Barbara Borys-Damięcka, the district is going to … the former ombudsman, Adam Bodnar.
He insists and our electorate would not understand why we do not support the former ombudsman
emphasizes the Member of Parliament.
Former Nowoczesna leader Ryszard Petru is from the same constituency, but from his own committee.
Petru did something stupid, he could have got along with Nowoczesna first, then he would have got the place. It would even fit us into the campaign somehow, but he went into battle with us unnecessarily
– says the informant of the PO.
Jackowski’s candidacy
Jan Maria Jackowski, a senator who until recently was associated with PiS, will also flee from his own constituency. What about the Senate Pact?
We’re not sending anyone into the Jan Maria Jackowski district
– says another GW opposition informant.
Representatives of the parties that make up the Senate Pact assure that – contrary to PiS staffers’ suggestions – there are no disputes in the opposition over electoral lists for the Senate.
We want to get along quietly. I don’t know who is running around the media saying there is a conflict between us
says the representative of the KO. The farmers also claim there is no disagreement over the Senate pact. Well, unless the revelations about the start of Senator Kazimierz Michał Ujazdowski, who is reportedly blocked by PO leader Donald Tusk, are confirmed.
The former prime minister announced that all senators elected in 2019 who did not betray will keep their places on the lists. We hope that President Tusk will not break this specific commitment
– says the representative of the PSL.
As you can see, there may be no conflicts, but there is no compatibility either.
