“We invited citizens, yes, through parliamentary offices, because this is the most convenient way for us. You can register and be present at the convention on 16. I can reveal that there will be all those people who will appear in different types of polls and surveys, but also those who have not been polled and have also appeared as potential candidates,” PiS said member Anna Zalewska on television wPolsce24.pl, asked about today’s citizens’ meeting with the participation of PiS President Jarosław Kaczyński, where the decision on the party’s support for the non-partisan presidential candidate will be announced.

Candidate Nawrocki?
According to unofficial information, the candidate would be the head of the Institute of National Remembrance, Karol Nawrocki. The wPolityce.pl portal determined that Nawrocki would run as a civilian candidate, and PiS would only support him.
We want to say one thing: we will not take part in the Polish-Polish war. We want to have a broad front, we want to distance ourselves from politics, as the Civic Coalition and Rafał Trzaskowski have already pointed out.
– Zalewska emphasized.
When asked whether more PiS politicians had been interviewed for nomination as presidential candidates, she replied:
Yes, and all this to show that whoever we elect, that we will all stand behind him, we will wage an intensive campaign.
We cannot allow the ‘closure of the system’ and the KO to lead us to absolute subordination to the European Union
– he added.
Zalewska also revealed what criteria were used to choose the presidential candidate.
This was the idea for the candidate, that he would be civil, that he would be community-oriented, that he would be Solidarity, that he would be connected to the ideas and values of the United Right, but that he would also be a bit outside his
– she emphasized.
Whoever the United Right candidate is, he must be ready for a very ruthless election campaign. The announced candidate of the Citizens Coalition started with PiS. He is also known for this language. We remember him as a politician who doesn’t care about Warsaw
– she said about Trzaskowski.
