Speech by President Andrzej Duda. Who’s prime minister? What decision – Tusk or Morawiecki [Relacja na żywo]

Krzysztof Gawkowski, head of the Left parliamentary club he told PAP that he hoped that “the president understood the will of the voters and will entrust the mission of forming the government to Donald Tusk, and there will be no manipulation or emotional blackmail.” – It is a simple choice – there is a coalition, it has 248 seats in the Sejm and it will win – he said.

Evening: President Tusk has already signaled that we are ready. Regardless of when the president announces it and how he announces it, we will be ready. If the president decides that the mission of forming a government is on the side of the opposition, we are prepared and we will finalize it very quickly.

Secretary of the Left Club, Dariusz Wieczorek: It’s interesting that the president is doing this today, so maybe we should expect some unusual move, although, honestly, it’s probably too good to be true.

Deputy head of the Civic Platform, Cezary Tomczyk in an interview with PAP, he said that both the president and the entire public opinion “know perfectly well what the new majority” of the Sejm looks like. – I think the simplest solution to this situation is to draw a logical conclusion from the knowledge you have, and that’s what I’m counting on – he added.

The deputy head of PO emphasized that he did not know what the president’s decision would be and that he had no information about it.

Rychard: I wonder why Mr. Mastalerek, whose complicated relations with President Kaczyński are known, announced this on Channel X. And why did this happen today?

Rychard: If it is Tusk, I think the president will justify it by saying that, after analysis, he decided to make a decision different from the current tradition due to the likelihood of forming a majority.

Rychard: If it were Morawiecki, the president could say that there is no coalition agreement, the talks are dragging on, and therefore most of them are uncertain. Today he can still say that there is no coalition agreement.

Rychard: Until now, I thought it was approximately 55 percent Morawiecki, 45 percent Tusk. Now I can say that it’s fifty-fifty with a slight indication of Mateusz Morawiecki.
