Our voters tell us not to give Tusk power because he will destroy Poland. Our voters expect us to try to form a government, though the path ahead is not straightforward. The party’s representatives have spoken about a ready program and the anticipation that Mateusz Morawiecki would become prime minister, signaling a clear line about the coalition’s direction and priorities.
Who will get the majority in parliament?
On October 26, President Andrzej Duda conveyed that the United Right had nominated Mateusz Morawiecki for prime minister. He stressed that the coalition expects to secure a Sejm majority. He noted that similar messages were heard from other blocs — the Civic Coalition, the Third Way, and the Left — with their respective candidate named as Donald Tusk. These remarks underscore the high-stakes dynamics as parties position themselves for power in the next government formation.
The first session of the new Sejm and the initial attempt to vote for the Sejm chairman were scheduled for November 13, marking the formal start of parliamentary business and the early tests of cross-party readiness for leadership.
Marek Suski, explaining how Law and Justice would form a government without an outright majority, said the Prime Minister believed a majority existed and that the actual confirmation would come through the confidence vote. This comment reflects the party’s confidence in its program and its expectation that support would crystallize in parliamentary procedures.
The party articulates a clear expectation: Mateusz Morawiecki should become Prime Minister because PiS has a program, has implemented it, and the program remains beneficial for Poland, according to Suski. He also indicated he was not authorized to discuss the chairmanship of the Sejm.
Our voters tell us not to give Tusk power because he will destroy Poland. Our voters expect us to try to form a government, said Suski, underscoring the party’s messaging and the gravity of public sentiment in shaping strategy.
Settlement of the election campaign
The discussion also touched on campaign dynamics and the future role of Jarosław Kaczyński. When asked about the potential retirement of the PiS president, Suski stated that Kaczyński should continue to work.
Kaczyński is described as an outstanding statesman, and if he chose to run again, a strong show of support would be expected. Suski conveyed that continued leadership would be valuable for Poland and the public program’s momentum, reflecting the party’s emphasis on experience and steady governance.
Regarding the reason PiS collected more than 400,000 votes in the elections but fewer than in 2019, Suski said he would await the campaign overview. He added that once there was a summary of the campaign and an evaluation of how power was exercised, he would share his perspective with colleagues. He also noted that it was not productive to dwell on past mistakes and that accountability should be weighed with a broader view of public service.
The opposition exists to critique policies, Suski acknowledged, but the ultimate judgment rests with the citizens. He emphasized personal responsibility and refrained from self-criticism in this context.
