“I believe the Razem party made a mistake by resigning from the government, it is their decision,” Joanna Scheuring-Wielgus (New Left) said on radio RMF24. She emphasized that Razem is still in the left-wing club and that further cooperation will look the same as before.
When asked why the Razem party ‘separated’ from the New Left, Scheuring-Wielgus denied this.
The Razem Party has not separated from us; it is inappropriate to say that
– she emphasized.
This is their decision: they did not join the government. I think they made a mistake, but they are still in the left club, they are with us, we work together. Nothing has changed here
she assured.
She added that further cooperation with the Razem Party will look the same as before.
Moreover, the coalition agreement contains the provision that if we vote on government projects and someone has a different opinion, we must talk about it. I cannot imagine any big words of outrage or saying that I disagree with something, because the demands of the New Left and the Razem Party are basically similar in every respect.
– said the left-wing MP.
In politics you go to the government
When you are in politics you cannot pretend that you are not looking for power, and power is something you learn when you get into government and ministries. Too bad they don’t want to abuse it. We, as the New Left, join the government
– Scheuring-Wielgus pointed out.
On Friday, the leaders of the Civic Platform, Poland 2050, PSL and New Left signed a coalition agreement to create a joint government. It states that the candidate for prime minister is the head of the PO, Donald Tusk.
The day before, late in the evening, the National Council of Razem Left, after learning the results of the program negotiations, authorized Razem’s parliamentarians to vote in favor of a motion of confidence in the government and at the same time decided that Razem wouldn’t do that. join the government. She also agreed to create an inter-party Left Club, co-founded by Lewica Razem MPs.
Explaining this decision, Razem leaders Adrian Zandberg and Magdalena Biejat told PAP that they had failed to convince the other parties to include the key demands for their formation in the coalition agreement.
