The Civic Coalition has so many politicians with enormous experience that there really is plenty to choose from – said the mayor of Warsaw, Rafał Trzaskowski, in “Tak jest” on TVN24, when asked about his chance of becoming the group's candidate in the presidential elections. He also talked about the “most important indicator” of who should run.
The mayor of Warsaw and vice-chairman of the Civic Platform was asked about the emerging suggestions that this was the case Radosław Sikorski he should be the candidate of the Civic Coalition in the presidential elections because he has more experience in the field of diplomacy and defense.
Trzaskowski replied that he also had experience in this area from his time as an MEP. – I was also involved in defense policy in the European Parliament when it was being created. By the way, I wrote my master's thesis on this subject. But the main thing here is that I am happy that the Civic Coalition has so many politicians with such extensive experience that there really is someone to choose from. Therefore, we should be happy, he said.
“I cut my teeth on this”
Trzaskowski also said that he often talks to the Prime Minister and the chairman of the Civic Platform Donald Tusk. – It's completely natural. We have a lot of things to do together, he said.
– We are talking not only about city and local government policy, (…), but we are also talking about all the challenges that lie ahead of us, about European politics, because I cut my teeth on this, and also about elections in the United States, because they really are incredibly important to us – continued the mayor of Warsaw.
Trzaskowski: Tusk doesn't have to say “don't worry” to me
– Does Donald Tusk say from time to time: “Don't worry Rafał, you will be our candidate”? – asked the host Andrzej Morozowski.
– Donald Tusk does not have to say to me “don't worry”, because that would assume that I am worried – he replied.
– We talk about politics and we also talk about who has the greatest chance, this is shown by all kinds of research. This is the most important indicator for us, because it is not about mutual sympathy, it is simply about winning the elections, he said.
