“Karol Nawrocki has never been a member of any political party and this is a gesture of great courage on the part of PiS, leader Jarosław Kaczyński and everyone who took part in making this decision,” MEP Adam Bielan said on Polsat News. The Law and Justice politician stressed that, according to the results of research conducted by his party, Poles expect the president to be independent above all. “We have elected a man who has never belonged to our party,” Bielan emphasized.
Yesterday a conference was held in Hala Sokół in Kraków, at which Prof. Andrzej Nowak announced the participation of Dr. Karol Nawrocki, president of the Institute of National Remembrance, on next year’s presidential elections. He will be nominated by the citizens’ committee as an impartial candidate who will have the support of Law and Justice.
This is a PiS-backed candidate, Jarosław Kaczyński said yesterday. I think that a Political Council will be organized in the coming days to support this candidacy, but this is a candidate who has never belonged to PiS. After all, these are facts, facts cannot be disputed, and this is a candidate proposed by more than 170 leading scientists and public figures.
– said Adam Bielan on Polsat News.

Conspiracy theories: ‘I’m not a gambler’
Bielan emphasized that the decision not to field his own candidate, but to support an impartial person, is the result of many months of surveys, the results of which are available to PiS.
Absolutely not [to nie jest porażka]these are the expectations of the Poles that we have examined in recent months. One of the most important expectations is that the president should be independent and not a member of a political party
– said Bielan.
Karol Nawrocki has never been a member of any political party and this is a gesture of great courage on the part of PiS, leader Jarosław Kaczyński, and all those people who took part in making this decision, that for the first time in our history I chose a man who never joined us, he did not belong to the party
– he continued, adding that on the other side was “old party activist Rafał Trzaskowski”.
He is Donald Tusk’s deputy, chosen by party activists
– Bielany rated Trzaskowski. When asked about the scenario of a possible candidate change if Dr. Nawrocki would perform poorly in the poll, the PiS member said these were rather “conspiracy theories”.
I’m not a gambler, but I’ll bet you that these are conspiracy theories that will never come true. No, absolutely nonsense [teoria z zamianą kandydata]
– said Bielan.

The PiS politician also assessed yesterday’s speech by Dr. Nawrocki, who was described by some as a bit callous because the candidate used prepared cards.
We always have grumpy Smurfs, especially on Twitter. There is more energy than ten years ago, the current President Duda was also attacked, although he did not speak at the convention on November 10, but only, as far as I remember, on February 7, 2015. It was the original speech of Karol Nawrocki , he certainly felt the gravity of this moment
– said Adam Bielan, recalling that Andrzej Duda had 17 percent in a similar period. in the polls and eventually won against Komorowski.
Today, Nawrocki has a stable 30 percent. support, and his recognition will increase after Sunday’s congress. We still have six months until the elections. That’s enough time. I am happy with all the submissions and statements from KO politicians in which they treat our candidate so disrespectfully, because it means that they are going to make the same mistake as 10 years ago
– he summed it up and expressed his belief that Nawrocki would face Trzaskowski in the second round. He commented on the information about Nawrocki’s start posted on the official accounts of the Institute of National Remembrance.
Perhaps these entries were unnecessary. But on the other hand, we have a regular tour of the country, funded by taxpayers’ money. Trzaskowski has not yet shown the invoices
– said Bielan, noting that the KO candidate has strong support from local government officials.
Rafał Trzaskowski, instead of dealing with the city, is running an election campaign
– the PiS member concluded, recalling that his party had “unlawfully suspended financing by the Minister of Finance Andrzej Domański”.
I think he will have to answer to this case before the State Tribunal
– said Adam Bielan, adding that Donald Tusk’s actions prove his fear of expected responsibility.
