Speculation surrounding the candidacy
PAP asked Nawrocki about media speculation about his possible candidacy for the country’s highest office.
For 20 years of my professional career, apart from my family and sports passions, I have dedicated myself to the Republic of Poland. I am where I can serve Poland. It is difficult for me to answer what tasks God and Poland will expect from me in the near future
– replied the chairman of the Institute for National Remembrance.
As he noted, “when it comes to specific facts – public, media, considered and discussed – I am not a member of any political party and never have been.”
If the patriotic political environment decides that I should serve Poland in another position or at least pretend to serve Poland in another position, I feel ready to do so, but this does not flow from my plans, ambitions or willingness to change the position of the President of the Institute of National Remembrance, because I feel that I serve Poland at the Institute
– said Nawrocki.
I feel, even though it may be a strong word, a soldier of the Republic of Poland and I have not left this path for twenty years, and what the future and God will bring is not for me to decide.
– he judged.
According to earlier unofficial information from PAP, the announcement of PiS’s presidential candidate would take place between the second half of October and the first half of November.
Karol Nawrocki holds a PhD in history from the University of Gdańsk, is a social activist and specialist in human resources management. In 2017 he became director of the Museum of the Second World War in Gdańsk, and in 2021 the Sejm, with the consent of the Senate, appointed him president of the Institute of National Remembrance.
