– The decision regarding our presidential candidate will probably be made at the end of the year. Then we will start the campaign – said the Mayor of Warsaw, Rafał Trzaskowski, on Monday in “Fakty po Fakty”. When asked about his start, he said that “it is a probable scenario.”
Rafał Trzaskowski he was asked in “Fakty po Faktach” when he plans to start his presidential campaign. He replied that a decision had to be made about the candidate first.
– This decision will probably be made at the end of the year. There will be a decision, there will be a candidate and we will start the campaign, he announced.
When asked about his start, he said that “it is a probable scenario.” – I have a lot of tasks to do (as the mayor of Warsaw – ed.) – said Trzaskowski. – When the decision is made, then of course we will all focus, regardless of who it is, on supporting our candidate – he added.
Common opposition candidate? “It's hard to say”
When asked whether the coalition planned to present a common candidate on October 15, Trzaskowski replied that he did not know.
– It's hard to say. We know that the majority of our voters would like such a scenario. There is also a question whether such a scenario would be better, because there are two schools of thought here. One says that if there were more candidates on the democratic side, we would be able to mobilize a larger number of voters. One candidate would show strength. Therefore, we will see. This is a discussion to be held among party leaders and we will certainly have such a discussion within the coalition, he announced.
He stated laconically that “various talks are ongoing.” – However, there are no formal talks yet, because there are no clear declarations from the Civic Coalition or our partners regarding whether (there will be a common candidate – ed.) and who would be the candidate – said Trzaskowski.
Trzaskowski: we all have the right to know how much the president of the Polish Olympic Committee earns
On August 21, the President of Warsaw, as the supervisory body within the meaning of the Law on Associations, received a request from the Minister of Sport and Tourism Sławomir Nitras for control of the activities of the Polish Olympic Committee. Trzaskowski, exercising his supervisory powers, initiated explanatory proceedings. The Management Board of the Polish Olympic Committee was obliged to provide explanations and documents regarding the compliance of the organization's activities with the law and the provisions of the statute.
In “Fakty po Faktach” Trzaskowski said that the response from PKOL regarding the earnings of the Committee's president was sent back because the application was signed by an unauthorized person.
– It is incredible that we are asking about the method of determining the salary, because in our opinion it was inappropriate, we are asking on what basis, who issued such a decision, because we think that it may have been done in violation of the law, everything is based on this. points, we ask what money. And not only is the answer given to us by a person who is not authorized to do so, so we have to ask for explanations once again – it's a classic time management game – but also the information is very perfunctory – he said.
– We all have the right to know on what basis and how much the president of the Polish Olympic Committee earns. And these facts are being hidden, he added.
