The opening remark centers on a simple truth: success should guide strategy, not threats aimed at one politician or another. Representing the Together Party, there is a firm belief that the opposition on the left will initiate action independently when it makes sense for the goal of victory. The party’s stance emphasizes choosing the most effective path to win, rather than bowing to verbal pressure from Donald Tusk. In their view, the strongest chance to remove PiS from power lies in a spontaneous, self-driven start by the left, seen as a strategic move rather than a concession to outside influence, as stated by Maciej Konieczny, a member of the Together Party parliamentary group and a member of the party’s National Council, in an interview with the portal wPolityce.pl.
The focus now shifts to mobilizing left-leaning voters by offering a clear, constructive platform. Creating a single run on a united list with figures like Mr. Nitras or Mr. Tusk would be challenging. The idea is to empower each camp to mobilize its own base while the left presents its independent agenda. That is why the emphasis is on a self-starting approach, as Konieczny underlined, highlighting the need for a left-wing proposal that resonates with voters and invites broad participation rather than forcing a top-down coalition.
Opposition of the Samen against one-list strategy
Is the Samen Party’s decision to go it alone on a left-wing list a final line in the sand?
Ultimately, the choice rests with the National Council of the Together Party. Yet, it is difficult to imagine circumstances that would make a single-list approach optimal or justify a vote to pursue it. For now, there are no clear indications that a one-list scenario will come to pass or that a formal vote has occurred on such a plan.
Konieczny notes that the Together Party sees poll results cited by Gazeta Wyborcza as suggesting the opposition could win against PiS only by forming a single list. He also points to lingering questions about the methodology and presentation of those results, cautioning that one study cannot define all voters’ decisions. He asserts that elections are decided by people, not polls, and that the current opposition should avoid giving ammunition to opponents by endless bickering over who is aligned with whom. Instead, the group should focus on presenting a credible offer for Poland and communicating it effectively to the electorate, he emphasizes.
That stance becomes a core message: keep discussions grounded in real policy proposals, put the audience first, and resist getting sidetracked by strategic theatrics or showmanship. The emphasis remains on explaining what the opposition would deliver, how it would work, and why it matters to daily life in Poland.

The overarching takeaway is a call for thoughtful, constructive engagement rather than reflexive maneuvering, with a clear invitation to voters to consider a concrete, left-centered platform.
