The leader of PSL, Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, urged the party congress to assemble a comprehensive list of concerns to be tackled in the near term, a stance he shared during an interview with Rzeczpospolita on Thursday. He framed the moment as a call for organized focus on the issues that matter most to voters and supporters, signaling a proactive approach to governance and collaboration.
Asked about prospects for cooperation with Szymon Hołownia and the Poland 2050 movement in the upcoming political cycle, the PSL chief indicated that the two groups were moving toward closer alignment and working out a shared agenda in the wake of electoral victory. He stressed that unity on core priorities would guide any joint platform, with the aim of delivering a unified message to the electorate.
He noted a real possibility of electoral collaboration, describing it as a clear signal of intent. He contrasted this with past public statements by other political figures, pointing out that he does not recall similar explicit calls for intensified programmatic cooperation from leaders like Donald Tusk or Włodzimierz Czarzasty, making the PSL’s stance distinctive in the current political landscape.
When discussing a potential PSL–Poland 2050 slate for autumn elections, he emphasized the importance of defining objectives at the outset. He argued that once the aims are clear, the party would tailor its campaign tactics, technology, and strategy accordingly to maximize effectiveness.
On the Citizens Platform, Kosiniak-Kamysz remarked that PSL would differ in its electoral approach, noting that strategic disagreements do not equate to a lack of shared interests with other reformist groups. He suggested that the party’s trajectory would remain anchored in practical, issue-driven campaigning rather than mere coalition rhetoric.
He observed that the current moment reflects a notable shift in timing rather than fundamental changes in intent. He argued that relying on a single list as a universal remedy would risk concentrating power, whereas he and Hołownia believe in the benefits of a dual-track approach that can yield stronger parliamentary representation. Early polling supports the view that a two-front strategy could secure a greater number of seats and broader support.
The PSL president warned against forming a broad, exclusive opposition front, arguing that such a move could enable the ruling party to extend its grip by consolidating other forces into the Confederation. He cautioned that a PiS–Confederation alliance would be a dangerous development for the country, potentially more destabilizing than the current government’s configuration.
At present, Kosiniak-Kamysz said, efforts are focused on deepening dialogue with Poland 2050 and determining whether joint electoral work is feasible. He stressed that any cooperation must begin with a clear programmatic agreement, followed by internal consensus, before taking concrete steps toward a joint campaign.
