“The situation has changed a bit”
On Wednesday, Czarzasty was asked on TVN 24 whether, in connection with these events, someone from Poland 2050 should be given the position of deputy prime minister in the government. — I think the situation has probably changed a bit. I also don’t know if there is as great a desire as there was before, and I also don’t know if there is as great a force behind this desire as there was before, replied the politician.
He informed that a meeting of the leaders of the ruling coalition was held on Wednesday, but “no personnel matters were discussed.” — Life brings people to the right places. I think that things have calmed down at the moment. I believe in it, added Czarzasty.
He also said that he witnessed a “calm, reasonable meeting led by Prime Minister Donald Tusk” and added that if the topic of the Deputy Prime Minister for Poland 2050 comes up, the Prime Minister will make a decision on this matter. The leader of the New Left also assured that he would support Tusk’s every decision on this matter.
Split in Poland 2050
The tense situation in Poland 2050 has been growing since the second round of elections for the new party leader was invalidated in January. Hennig-Kloska and Pełczyńska-Nałęcz competed for leadership in the group. Three factions were formed in the party: both candidates and the current leader, Szymon Hołownia, and internal forums also included ideas to invalidate the entire elections for the leader and Szymon Hołownia to run in new ones.
The dispute also concerned the issue of filling vacancies in the National Council and the dismissal of Paweł Śliz from the position of head of the parliamentary club, proposed by the Hennig-Kloski faction, whose supporters wanted Suchoń to replace him in this position. The turning point was Saturday’s National Council, which obliged party members to stop “escalating tensions” by the National Congress scheduled for March 21. Until then, disciplinary proceedings were also suspended and all personnel changes were suspended. The resolution was poorly received by some activists who described it as “muzzled”.
