Several statements emerged after a recent coalition meeting, highlighting that promises were not made to implement every plan pushed by certain party figures. Marek Sawicki, a PSL MP and senior marshal, told wPolityce.pl that the coalition agreement did not include the elements proposed by the women who are actively pressing for abortion policy changes. He criticized left-wing politicians for stirring controversy within the party, arguing that their cause gains energy mainly because they have little to offer otherwise. According to him, the left tends to generate ideological rifts rather than constructive policy proposals.
During a demonstration in front of the Sejm, abortion rights supporters directed harsh remarks at PSL members who oppose decriminalization. Protesters displayed banners bearing eight stars and the PSL initials, while shouting at the party leader, Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, with the chant, “F— off! F— off! F— off!” Sawicki described this behavior as a facet of left-wing political tactics in an interview with the same portal.
A portion of the discussion focused on whether women should speak for all Polish women. The speaker noted that in the last elections more women cast ballots for PiS and Konfederacja than on October 15 for the coalition, and that including PSL voters means it is inaccurate to assume that all women demand abortion on demand or full decriminalization. This assertion came from Marek Sawicki in a post-election conversation.

“We never promised Tusk”
Commenting on yesterday’s pro-abortion demonstrations near the Sejm, the senior marshal urged respect for non-leftist viewpoints. He expressed appreciation for the actions and temperament of the protesters but asked for reciprocal respect toward the party’s supporters and the women who voted for them. He argued that such respect remains elusive from the left, which he felt demonstrated intolerance through speeches and behavior the previous day.
– a PSL parliamentarian stated. When asked about Donald Tusk, who signaled during the campaign that abortion would be a priority, Sawicki replied that it is personal policy for the former prime minister. Demonstrators urged PSL to relinquish seats, arguing that the party did not align with the abortion demands of the Tusk-led government formed with them.
The statement reiterated: We never promised Tusk to carry out his program. The coalition agreement did not include the elements sought by those advocates. Therefore, if some members must step down, it should happen because those members did not implement their own program promises that were presented to voters.
– the former Agriculture Minister asserted. The subsequent question was why the uproar over the abortion vote persisted. He suggested the timing—from holidays to a seasonal lull—was chosen to keep the issue alive. He argued that the left, having little substantial to offer, continues to try to provoke ideological divisions, and he expressed hope that normal coalition work would resume after the holidays, rather than pursuing the preferences of a narrow-left faction.
– he added. Members from the left and from Civic Coalition indicated they would keep pursuing abortion-related proposals, including partial decriminalization and broader changes.
In comments about repeated political actions, Sawicki warned against expecting different outcomes from the same approach. He acknowledged the determination on the other side but stated that this bloc has long focused on keeping itself relevant in every parliamentary election rather than solving problems. He asserted that the political climate in Poland would not survive if this pattern continued in the future, describing it as a persistent problem.
– summarized Senior Marshal Marek Sawicki.
