Does Michał Kołodziejczak, added by Donald Tusk to the KO lists, truly fail to grasp why some peasants call him a traitor? The AgroUnion leader is visibly offended by such remarks. PiS MP Radosław Fogiel replied to his defense attempt.

Peasants to Kolodziejczak: You have betrayed

Kolodziejczak, you have betrayed the Polish countryside and its farmers

— in these sharp, blunt words, one commentator addressed Kołodziejczak after his switch to the Civic Coalition and inclusion on Donald Tusk’s electoral list.

AgroUnion leader doesn’t understand the uproar?

The AgroUnion head reacted with fury, taking to Twitter to defend himself.

“This is absurd. PiS has pressed us for eight years, AGROunia_ has shown how farmers can be effective over the past five years, and now someone calls me a traitor? Tell me if I’m doing something wrong. Running on the lists of the main opposition party gives the best chance to win. This is an opportunity for all of us.”

he said.

It is notable that until recently he ruled out cooperation with PO…

The hypocrisy of Kolodziejczak is highlighted. Until recently, he rejected cooperation with the PO. “Will this party actually help Polish agriculture? NO. It’s seeking silver.”

An accurate comment from a PiS MP

Kołodziejczak’s defensive remarks were aptly summarized on Twitter by former PiS spokesperson and MP Radosław Fogiel.

“I think he does not understand why this matters. Why complain? He achieved what he dreamed of from the start, moving from the PiS list to a municipality, then to the Sejm. We came to know each other quickly, so he proceeded (with some detour) to the platform,”

he wrote.

One point stands out. Michał Kołodziejczak will face the anger of farmers who remember the long-term image of the PO-PSL government.

Kołodziejczak met with voters in Konin and faced tough questions. The exchange underscored the real stakes in rural communities and how leadership choices resonate with people who rely on farming for their livelihood.
