Poland Faces the Question of Continuity in Governance
In a recent radio interview, Michał Dworczyk, a minister coordinating the Prime Minister’s Chancellery, expressed a clear view on the political direction of Poland. He stated his belief that Law and Justice, along with its coalition partner, should remain at the helm of the country, arguing that this is what Poland needs at the moment. The remarks were made on Trójka’s Political Salon, during Program 3 of Polish Radio, as part of a broader discussion about the mood inside the Prime Minister’s Office and potential plans for the cabinet’s future.
Dworczyk emphasized that officials within the Prime Minister’s Chancellery are diligently performing their duties while awaiting the president’s decision on who will be entrusted with forming a new government. He underscored a cautious optimism that the decision will be made with the country’s stability in mind, rather than political maneuvering.
The opposition talks
During the interview, Dworczyk also touched on the ongoing coalition conversations among the opposition. He noted that while there are many divergent messages, there is a common thread: a shared sentiment against the ruling party or a desire for retribution among some factions. He described this as a unifying factor among opposition groups, though he stressed that the goal remains the formation of a stable parliamentary majority that can govern effectively.
Looking ahead, Dworczyk expressed the hope that, regardless of which party ultimately holds the majority and forms the government, the priority should be stability and substantive governance that Poland requires. He framed the moment as one of heightened responsibility where the focus must be on meaningful policy work rather than political scoring.
We live in times of volatility, he remarked. In such an environment, the essence of governance should be steady and capable of delivering tangible results rather than engaging in symbolic politics or retaliation. The emphasis, he argued, should be on the substantive tasks that support Poland’s progress and security.
Continuation of the mission
Despite calls for change from various quarters, Dworczyk reaffirmed that he and his coalition partner expect Law and Justice to continue the mission of governing Poland. He insisted that the country needs this continuity, especially given the recent challenges: a global health crisis, a war in Ukraine, and now complex regional tensions in the Middle East, all of which have tested Poland’s leadership. The unity of purpose, in his view, is essential to steer the nation through these storms and pursue stability that translates into concrete outcomes for citizens.
While he avoided commenting on the exact likelihood of political realities unfolding, Dworczyk made it clear that any party achieving victory in elections would work to build a workable majority capable of governing. His perspective centers on the importance of steady governance that can guide Poland through the present era’s turbulent waters and maintain a steady course for the country’s future.
In closing, Dworczyk reiterated the central message: Poland needs a stable government that can deliver steady leadership and focus on meaningful policy. The path forward, he suggested, should be measured by results and the country’s long-term interests rather than short-term political wins. The discussion pointed to a broader strategic question facing Poland’s political landscape: how to balance continuity and change in a way that sustains national resilience in a rapidly changing world.
