The President of Poland 2050, Szymon Hołownia, remarked in a life update that, consistent with the outcomes of the Senate Pact, the opposition would not nominate a rival candidate against Roman Giertych in the forthcoming senate elections. Jadwiga Rotnicka, a senator from Civic Platform elected from the same district Giertych has sought to leave, stated in an interview with Super Express that she planned to run again.
Donald Tusk pledged that every senator from PO would be free to run, a commitment she echoed with cautious optimism.
In a morning broadcast, the leader of Polska 2050, Szymon Hołownia, announced the latest arrangements of the Senate Pact. He explained that the participating parties would not field challengers against him in the Poznań-area constituency. Hołownia thanked him for the decision and for the kind words conveyed by Szymon Hołownia on social media about Roman Giertych.
What did Hołownia convey in that recording? He spoke highly of Roman Giertych, praising him for his longstanding dedication to public causes and for his willingness to advocate for reforms to prevent harmful developments in Poland. He also noted the personal costs borne by Giertych and his family due to targeted pressures from PiS.
Hołownia added that Giertych has consistently acted with passion and perseverance. He indicated that Giertych’s actions reflect a principled stance on national service and accountability. He also revealed the proposed arrangements of the Senate Pact participants, emphasizing that the rest of the process would depend on Giertych himself.
“That’s all we can do, the rest is in his hands.”
The statement clarified that Giertych would not be a candidate for Poland 2050, nor for PSL, PO, or the left. It was suggested that he should retain the right to seek election in the Poznań-area district, since that is where he announced his candidacy. The Senate Pact, as described, would prohibit any group from presenting an opponent to him in that district, thereby enabling him to contest the seat as an independent senator. This position would be a matter of individual choice and agreement among the pact participants, with the final decision resting with Giertych.
Further updates from the most recent Senate Pact meeting were provided by Jacek Bury, the party’s representative at the talks, and corroborated by colleagues from PSL. The discussions reportedly reached a consensus indicating that all pact groups would refrain from fielding a challenger against Giertych in the Poznań constituency while he would run as an independent candidate. The pact partners would not oppose him as he seeks election in that district.
The material was circulated through social media channels and is referenced in political roundups. Analysts and supporters alike viewed Giertych’s move as a potential test of the pact’s cohesion and a signal of how cross-party cooperation would shape the upcoming vote in central Poland. Observers weighed whether this arrangement would influence the broader balance of power in the Senate and what it might mean for governance and policy debates ahead. [Source: wPolityce]
