“Everything is in the game and it’s hard to be 100%. judge what the president has decided, but there is no coalition agreement yet among the entire opposition. There is quite a bit of information chaos there, there are some rotation positions, etc. So if the president announces the decision today, I would rather bet that he will choose Mateusz Morawiecki. [desygnuje na premiera – przyp. red.], which represents the winning party,” said Prof. in an interview with wPolityce.pl. Mieczysław Ryba, historian of the Catholic University of Lublin.

wPolityce.pl: The head of the President’s Office, Marcin Mastalerek, announced on the will now indicate who he will appoint as Prime Minister? If so, who do you expect Andrzej Duda to choose?
Prof. Mieczysław Ryba: The suggestion from this message was that the president had already made a decision and would now announce it. Everything is in the game and it’s hard to be 100%. judge what the president has decided, but there is no coalition agreement yet between the entire opposition. There is quite a bit of information chaos there, there are some shifting positions, etc. So if the president announces his decision today, I would rather bet that he will choose Mateusz Morawiecki, who represents the winning party. Of course I don’t know for sure; it’s pure speculation.
Do you think it is realistic that the president will choose someone other than Donald Tusk or Mateusz Morawiecki?
The question here is who. The president should have some kind of agreement with this third party, because it is impossible to appoint someone as head of government who does not have the ambition to become prime minister. Officially, there is no information that anyone serious would aspire to this position. For example, if Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz really aspired to this position, then the president could indeed take such a step.
The PSL president does not express any ambition to become Prime Minister, but perhaps the President will still decide to take such an unobvious step by pointing at him in today’s speech?
That would be a bit strange. If the president appointed Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz as Prime Minister and he said he did not want this position, it would be quite difficult.
It is most likely, of course, that the president will choose Mateusz Morawiecki or Donald Tusk. What speaks in favor of one or the other of these candidates?
Tusk declares that he has a majority in the Sejm and that everything will be fine, and the statements of other opposition parties are also clear. However, the situation regarding the formation of this coalition is completely unclear and we know almost nothing hard except that Tusk is their candidate for Prime Minister. A marshal must be elected at the first session of the Sejm, and they have not yet agreed on this fundamental function. There is a lot of chaos and uncertainty here. It would be a precedent if the president were to appoint Donald Tusk in such a situation, because until now presidents have chosen and appointed the candidate of the winning party as prime minister. The opposition is trying to put pressure on the president and show that they have a full coalition. Therefore, it is an empty and ineffective move to appoint a representative of the winning party as Prime Minister, but for now, when it comes to the effectiveness of If we reach an agreement between the opposition, it seems to me that we are still very far .
On the other hand, if the president chooses Mateusz Morawiecki, do you actually think it is realistic for such a government to receive a vote of confidence? PiS has 194 MPs, it would have to convince at least 37 opposition MPs. Meanwhile, no party wants to cooperate with PiS. Prime Minister Morawiecki announces some attempts to convince parliamentarians, especially of the Third Way, but is it realistic that this will succeed?
In such a situation, Mateusz Morawiecki would certainly have the opportunity to make real offers to opposition MPs. However, the chances of it being successful at this stage are slim. However, such efforts could clear some ground for possible future talks, as the opposition coalition now being formed with so much pain may not survive the entire term. The differences there are enormous and are only becoming stronger every day. Therefore, PiS’s reconciliation, talks with opposition politicians and presenting certain offers can bear fruit not only here and now, but also in the future, in six months or a year.
However, since the chances of forming Mateusz Morawiecki’s government are currently very slim, the opposition and some publicists accuse him of saying that it would only be a time game, and Mateusz Morawiecki will only embarrass himself because he will lose the parliamentary vote . They are right?
This is an attempt to apply pressure. How could he embarrass himself? By entering into discussions with opposition politicians? You know in advance what your chances of success are. But even before the elections, publicists sympathetic to the opposition, or for example former Prime Minister Leszek Miller, said that every effort should be made to ensure that KO would get the best election result, because then someone from KO would continue KO’s mission are entrusted. forming a government. They noted that it is normal that the mission of forming the government is given to someone who represents the winning party – they said that a few weeks ago, and today they say the opposite.
