As a left-wing party, we proposed the Razem Party to join the government, and I offered my seat to Adrian Zandberg. They did not agree, said Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Affairs Krzysztof Gawkowski. Maciej Gdula, Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education, spoke in a similar tone. Adrian Zandberg responded: “I will take over as deputy prime minister if the coalition agreement includes the demands of the left.”
The Minister of Digital Affairs announced that he had offered Adrian Zandberg, the leader of the Razem party, his place in the government.
I told him (Zandberg – note from PAP) that: if we don’t do enough, come to the government and stay in my place. There was no enthusiasm
– Gawkowski reported.
The president of the Left Club, Anna Maria Żukowska, admitted in an interview with PAP that the New Left had repeatedly invited Razem to join the government, but that members should, among other things, avoid “confrontation and taking responsibility” . for the left’s performance in the parliamentary elections and the European Parliament elections.
The party leaders have not decided to run for the European Parliament elections, and I think Adrian Zandberg or Magdalena Biejat could improve this result
– emphasized the head of the left.
““Three groszy” by Gdula
Maciej Gdula, Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education, spoke in a similar tone on RMF FM radio.
If the Razem Party thinks it is easy to implement their demands, let them join the government and see how easy it is. To me, a situation where someone puts themselves in the role of reviewer is a confusion of roles
– he said.
Zandberg answers
Adrian Zandberg also confirmed in an interview with PAP that he had received the offer to take up the position of Deputy Prime Minister.
I would like to fill this position, but the government contract needs to be adjusted. There must be instruments to implement the left program. They’re not here today
– he said.
The Razem leader emphasized that the content of the coalition agreement does not currently include “important instruments for pursuing left-wing policies” and that he does not intend to be an “asymptomatic deputy prime minister”.
I’m not just talking about the abortion issue. These are important economic and social issues: 1%. GDP for the construction of public housing, for public health expenditure, for what I think is also close to Krzysztof Gawkowski’s heart, namely funds for investments in science and development – these instruments must be included in the contract
– he named.
According to the MP, six months of coalition government has shown how important it is for the centre-right parties to sign such a commitment, which will also include the demands of the left.
We all see what this government looks like. Their programs are different from ours, so the bottom line is that the left cannot deliver on its election promises and disappoints the voters. The left should be subjective
– added.
Razem spokeswoman Dorota Olko emphasized in an interview with PAP that the group is ready to join the government if the parties agree to renegotiate the coalition agreement.
We know that in such a large coalition it is impossible to implement the entire left program, because it includes liberals and conservatives whose views on some issues are completely opposite to ours. But the point is to guarantee that the implementation of the main demands of the Left government will be possible
– she said.
The Parliamentary Coalition Club of the Left (Nowa Lewica, PPS, Razem, Unia Pracy) has 24 MPs. The Razem party is part of it, but did not join the government led by Donald Tusk. The other parties that made up this club decided to co-create the government.
