Rather than reflecting on the politics of love, as voiced by PO leader Donald Tusk, the conversation here centers on the spread of hostility, noted Marek Suski, deputy head of the PiS club, in an interview with Super Express.
Suski was asked in the interview whether he felt moved by the Million Hearts March organized by Donald Tusk last Sunday.
No. There were a million occurrences of hostility in Warsaw, and the event did not impress him at all. He argued that it only fuels aggression within society.
Suski said that the march represented a broad distribution of hatred. He suggested that the motive behind the demonstrations echoed a shift away from constructive policy toward confrontation.
He added that the actions of the march are regrettable and that the country should be wary of a political climate that fosters division rather than unity.
According to him, such division serves those who seek to interfere in national affairs and makes society easier to manipulate.
In response to the claim that the PiS convention, held as a counter to Tusk’s march, was also fiery and did not embody love politics, Suski replied that specific solutions are being proposed and that meaningful achievements have been delivered. He cited increased pensions and policy steps affecting retirement ages as examples of tangible benefits.
He argued that a broader security situation looms beyond national borders and that focus must remain on safeguarding safety and security within the country.
Unity is urgently needed in Poland, according to Suski. He urged supporting the military and avoiding actions that offend border guards, criticizing the opposing side for doing just the opposite.
When asked whether the ruling party would unveil something spectacular later in the campaign to win support, Suski emphasized that many innovative proposals are continuously put forward and that the party has highlighted what has been accomplished for Poland and its citizens. He pointed to internship pensions to be introduced after elections and noted that real progress is visible through ongoing infrastructure projects such as road and sewerage developments, especially as laptops are shared with senior students in the later years of study.
Suski was also questioned about potential cooperation with the Confederation after a possible election victory. He indicated that the Confederation appeared ready to form a technical government with the Platform for the sake of governance.
Asked whether he feared such a government, he stated that the goal is to win and govern autonomously as the United Right coalition. If a strongly opposed, hostile majority reached power, Poles should be cautious, he warned, arguing that it would threaten the gains already achieved by the current leadership.
Who is Prime Minister?
When pressed on whether PiS president Jarosław Kaczyński should become prime minister if his party wins, Suski noted that he was not the party’s president and could not put forward candidacies. He said the President would appoint the Prime Minister.
He affirmed there is no privilege to present such candidates, underscoring the constitutional role of the President in selecting the Prime Minister.
