“I cannot imagine that President Duda would be a party activist after his term and that he would lead the right wing. I think it is simply impossible, but I can imagine that the right wing will want to refer to his legacy and that he is a very important figure,” Marcin Mastalerek, head of the President’s Office, said on TVN24.
The future of President Duda
The conversation included the future of President Andrzej Duda. Marcin Mastalerek pointed out that he could not imagine the president becoming a party activist after the end of his term. The presidential minister stressed that “it should be up to the right to refer to President Duda’s legacy after his presidency.” He also explained that “Andrzej Duda has never been a party activist.”
Before 2015, he was probably voted the best MP in office twice by the weekly magazine Polityka. He worked in the Sejm. He was a member of PiS, but not a party activist. I was a party activist, I had a position, I was the head of the region, in the Political Committee, I spent most of my time on Nowogrodzka Street, and Andrzej Duda worked on bills and in the Constitutional Court
– emphasized Mastalerek.
I cannot imagine that President Duda would be a party activist after his term and that he would lead the right wing. I think it is simply impossible, but I imagine that the right wing will want to point to his legacy and that he is a very important figure.

Tusk will want to take over as much power as possible
Referring to the opposition coalition, the head of the President’s Office emphasized that KO leader Donald Tusk is in “lifelong political shape” and plans to take as much power as possible within the newly created KO-Left-Third Way coalition.
Donald Tusk (…) is in the political shape of his life. He plays political affairs both within his camp, between parties, and yesterday in the Sejm, in a very good way for him.
– said Mastalek.
According to him, the failure to elect Elżbieta Witek (PiS) as deputy chairman of the Sejm was intended to satisfy the “most radical supporters” of the opposition and to exclude the newly elected chairman of the Sejm, Szymon Hołownia of the elections. winning presidential elections in the future.
Donald Tusk showed his supporters who want revenge on Law and Justice, in the United Right camp, that they will get this revenge. (…) Marshal Witek was humiliated, Marek Pęk (who was not elected Deputy Chairman of the Senate – PAP) was humiliated. The supporters, the most radical ones, got what they wanted
– said Mastalek.
The Sejm – a place of brawls?
Yesterday Donald Tusk achieved great success. He ended Szymon Hołownia’s dreams of becoming president. He handled these matters in such a way that, through the actions of Szymon Hołownia, he caused the Sejm to become part of a major brawl.
– emphasized Mastalerek.
Szymon Hołownia comes out and says this: there will be new norms in the Sejm, and then the Deputy Marshal, whose party was voted for by more than seven million people, will not be voted out
– he emphasized.
Donald Tusk will not accept the situation as it is now, that he has to come to terms with PSL, the Third Way, Poland 2050, the Left (…). He will want to use his abilities, his knowledge and his experience to take over as much power as possible. (…) This could end with early parliamentary elections in Poland
– said the head of the President’s office.
