The head of the Prime Minister’s Chancellery, Jan Grabiec, said several ministers will be on the electoral lists for the European Parliament. However, he added that they will be a minority. He said the names of the candidates will likely be known on Wednesday, after the PO National Council.
Grabiec said on TVN24 that the Civic Coalition’s lists for the European Parliament elections are ready and will be registered this week. He announced that the names of the candidates will likely be known on Wednesday, after the PO National Council.
Just after the long weekend, we will start the election campaign with vigor, which will last 4 weeks
– added the minister.
When asked how many government members would stand as candidates for the European Parliament elections, he said: “not too many, but there will be a few.”
I won’t confirm the names as management will decide in a few hours. It is no secret that some ministers will be among the candidates. This will be less than a quarter of the ministers
– revealed the head of the Prime Minister’s Chancellery.
As he said, what is more important than who will sit in the European Parliament is that it is a “strong representation of Polish interests”.
There is no doubt that the people working in government today are the most recognizable politicians on our side
– Grabiec noticed.
He emphasized that “all attention is on the government, so if we want to ensure that these elections really move (people) and that certain political figures attract voters, there will also be ministers on these lists, although they will be a minority forms.” .
“This is an opportunity for MPs to support the results of the list.
According to the head of the Prime Minister’s Chancellery, the European Parliament elections are very important and comparable to the presidential elections ahead.
Today, during a meeting of the Board of Directors (PO), Prime Minister Donald Tusk called on MPs to be deeply involved in the European elections in order to build support for these lists. This is an opportunity for MPs to support the results of the list
– said the minister. However, he added that he has the impression that Poles are tired of the number of elections in recent months.
This year’s European elections will be held in several EU countries from 6 to 9 June. In Poland, 53 Members of the European Parliament will be elected on June 9.
To date, the National Electoral Commission has accepted notifications of the establishment of more than thirty electoral commissions. These include: committees of the left, KO, PiS, Trzecia Droga-Polska2050 and PSL, Confederation and non-partisan local government, Polexit committee.
