Tomorrow, provisionally at 10:00, a joint statement is planned by three democratic opposition groups. It will outline a path toward a coalition agreement and the formation of the future government, according to Michał Kobosko, deputy head of Poland 2050, who spoke on Radio Zet on Monday.
Asked about the potential liquidation of the Central Anti-Corruption Bureau, he stated that the CBA has damaged its own credibility multiple times.
He argued that Poland needs a service dedicated to addressing corruption issues, noting that corruption exists in every democratic country, but insisting that this does not describe the Central Anti-Corruption Office in its current form.
— Kobosko added that he would be reassigned to another service. He did not comment on the full scope of possible changes, but stressed that the current situation is bad and the CBA’s public image is severely tarnished.
He said the outcomes would depend on coalition negotiations, pointing to recent weekend events and questions from Paweł Wojunik, who described the issue as a new obstacle in the debate over a service that does not effectively counter corruption but is used by the democratic opposition.
During a Saturday broadcast on TVN24, Wojtunik indicated he had learned from multiple sources about a meeting at the CBA Training and Conference Center in Lucień, Mazovian Voivodeship, where discussions were reportedly held about extensive use of operational control against opposition figures. He noted that such wiretapping could last five days and, under the law, proceed without judicial oversight if the attorney general consents.
Kobosko characterized Paweł Wojtunik as a serious professional and said his statements should be taken seriously.
“I take what Mr. Wojtunik says very seriously,” Kobosko remarked.
Declaration of three opposition formations
Regarding the three formations agreeing on a common government, Kobosko commented that it is encouraging that even the democratic opposition agrees on issuing a joint statement before consultations begin.
The joint statement is scheduled for tomorrow, tentatively at 10:00 a.m.
According to Kobosko, the message will affirm the three democratic opposition groups’ willingness to cooperate on a coalition agreement and on shaping the future government, with the prime minister likely to be Donald Tusk. He avoided naming specific ministerial posts, saying no decisions have been made yet.
The defense ministry stands out as one of the most important ministries, and the government faces the real possibility of a war scenario requiring rapid modernization of the armed forces. Foreign affairs are another crucial area, to be addressed alongside stabilizing public finances.
Kobosko also noted that changes diverge from the so-called green transformation and energy transformation, framing the latter as a central challenge for the new administration. This area will demand focused action from the government.
