“It is completely normal for the winning party to appoint a representative from among its members,” said Deputy Minister of National Defense Wojciech Skurkiewicz in the third program of Polish Radio. The PiS MP also revealed what he believes are Szymon Hołownia’s political plans.
After consultation and in-depth consideration, President Andrzej Duda has already made the final decision to complete the mission of forming a government in the so-called first step
– said Marcin Mastalerek, head of the President’s Office, on social media. He added that the president would deliver a speech in the evening.
Deputy Minister of National Defense Wojciech Skurkiewicz commented on Polish radio on the issue of entrusting the mission to create a new government by the President of the Republic of Poland. He expressed his belief that it should be the natural course of events to respect parliamentary tradition and appoint the candidate of the winning political party as Prime Minister.
PiS has won the parliamentary elections, PiS has 194 representatives as a party. This is the largest representation of one formation in the Sejm. It is completely normal for the winning party to appoint a representative from among its members
– said Wojciech Skurkiewicz in the third program of Polish radio.
The PiS politician assured that President Andrzej Duda is fully sovereign in making decisions, including in this context.
Hołownia plans
MP Skurkiewicz did not leave without commenting on the problems that opposition parties are experiencing in forming a parliamentary majority and reaching agreement on the details of the coalition agreement.
This opposition, which today claims it can form a government and has 248 votes in the Sejm, consists of eleven parties. These are eleven different, often very different interests, and the most important positions in the state, not including the head of state, are only three: the President of the Senate, the Speaker of the Sejm and the Prime Minister of the Republic of Poland.
– he assessed.
It is impossible to reconcile the interests of all parties
– added.
The deputy head of the Ministry of Defense also suggested that Szymon Hołownia’s willingness to take the most important positions is most likely motivated by the ambitions of the leader of Poland 2050 in the context of the upcoming presidential elections in 2025.
What better position to participate in the presidential elections than the chairman of the Sejm?
– asked Skurkiewicz.
The Marshal of the Sejm has specific opportunities, a prominent position and support. I think that the other opposition coalition partners have come to the conclusion that such a strengthening of Hołownia is not in their interests
– he concluded.
