If someone starts from another committee, the exclusion procedure starts automatically; has violated the Senate Pact, so he cannot be a member of the PSL, PSL leader Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz said on Radio Zet on Sept. 5, commenting on reports that Mirosław Augustyniak had violated the Senate Pact.
As Radio Zet reported on September 5, the Senate pact was broken in one of the constituencies in Mazovia. The opposition candidate there is Grzegorz Nowosielski from Poland 2050. Despite this, Mirosław Augustyniak, a councilor of the provincial assembly, from PSL, expressed his willingness to run.
The politician officially reported his own commission to the National Electoral Commission.
When asked about this issue on Radio Zet, the head of the People’s Party said that if someone applies for a committee other than that of which PSL is a member, the exclusion procedure of that person will start automatically.
In fact, he is excluded from the group of PSL members. He broke the Senate pact, so he cannot be a member of PSL, because he is running for a different electoral commission than PSL is doing in this election, Kosiniak-Kamysz said.
As he added, this decision by Augustyniak is “related to the end of his career and his participation in the PSL”.
The exclusion procedure has started. The statute has been violated. There was no agreement (…) We support the Senate Pact candidates everywhere
emphasized the leader of the people.
Augustyniac’s response
The politician stated that if PSL’s arrangements with other opposition parties do not take into account his candidacy, as an activist with experience in the region, he has the right to have his own committee and participate independently in parliamentary elections.
After 36 years in local government and politics, I can’t afford not being involved in some pact. If there is no place for me in the Sejm or the Senate, then I have that right
– said Augustyniak for the eostroleka.pl portal.
Augustyniak expressed the conviction that Kurpie, when casting his vote in any elections, should know the candidate well and it is precisely in Kurpie that Augustyniak is undoubtedly better known than the mayor of Wyszków.
The councilor has already submitted a notification to the NEC about the establishment of an election commission called “Election Commission of Mirosław Augustyniak’s electoral candidate for the Senator of the Republic of Poland”.
