Different approaches in the two wings of the group and the lack of a clear declaration on support – these are actually the only relatively quite certain conclusions regarding the attitude of confederation politicians. In the opinion of Jakub Stefaniak (PSL), activists of this part of the right can not afford the public support of Nawrocki, because “they would share the fate of self -defense.” In turn, politicians of the Civic Coalition are counting on the voices of Mentzen free market voters.
How will the confederation voters vote in the second round of presidential elections? Their candidate and one of the leaders of this formation Sławomir Mentzen obtained 14.81 percent of support in the first round. This is a huge pool of potential voters, from which they will try to get the remaining Rafał Trzaskowski, KO candidate, and Karol Nawrocki, candidate PIS.
Two camps in the confederation
For now, it seems that none of the leaders of the confederation intends to directly support any of the applicants in the second round of the candidates applying for the presidential chair. On the other hand, you can expect different approaches to Trzaskowski and Nawrocki in the two most expressive wings of the confederation – free market and national.
As the TVN24 reporter Bartłomiej Ślak found out, there is a disappointment among PiS politicians that the confederation activists did not support the Law and Justice candidate in the second round.
MP of the Confederation about what will happen after the election
A Monday statement is treated as an expression of irritation in the Law and Justice camp Adam BielanPiS MEP, who said in Polsat News that “if (SÅ‚awomir Mentzen) does not stop the choice of RafaÅ‚ Trzaskowski to the Presidential Palace, it will also be possible to settle SÅ‚awomir Mentzen from each decision of RafaÅ‚ Trzaskowski from each decision.”
“Adam Bielan tries to blackmail me morally, claiming that I will be responsible for Trzaskowski's possible win. Nonsense,” Mentzen wrote. Then Bielan apologized to the leader of the Confederation. On Tuesday MP of the Confederation MichaÅ‚ Wawer assessed on TVN24 that “this is the announcement of what will happen after the election”. – Because at the moment PiS is so polite, so nice, so friendly in relation to the confederation. However, this will end at the time of choices. And regardless of what the result of these choices will be – he said.

Stefaniak: Hugging to PiS can mean the fate of self -defense
A similar future in the event of approaching law and justice see the deputy head of the deputy head of the office of Prime Minister Jakub Stefaniak with PSL. – Politicians who represent the Confederation camp have their minds, have memory and know that they cannot be addicted to PiS now. They remember what happened to those who were addicted to JarosÅ‚aw KaczyÅ„ski a few years ago. Whoever touches PiS disappears – assessed the politician.
– Hugging the confederation too much to PiS may mean that it would share the fate of Self-defense Andrzej Lepper or an agreement JarosÅ‚aw Gowin – commented Stefaniak. He described the statement of MEP Adam Bielan as a result of fatigue.
The critical words of Bielan at Mentzen were said after on Saturday in Toruń after the conversation of the leader of the Confederation with Rafał Trzaskowski the candidate of the Civic Coalition with Radosław Sikorski They appeared in the Mentzen pub and drank beer with him. Social media circulated photos and recordings from this event. Not only among the confederation activists and politicians, but also PiS.

In unofficial conversations with PiS politicians, it is heard that they regret the lack of a similar meeting between Karol Nawrocki and SÅ‚awomir Mentzen. It would be very difficult to perform, because the conversation of the confederation leader with the PiS candidate took place in the middle of the week and in the middle of the day – on Wednesday at 13 o'clock. After its completion, the president IPN He immediately went to Sochaczew – a city in Mazovia, far away from ToruÅ„. He had 1.5 hours to meet Mentzen Nawrocki – such a deadline was imposed by the confederation politician of the PiS candidate, which Mentzen emphasized during the broadcast.
Konwiński: A great puzzle is how the proportions will eventually spread
So since there was a less official Mentzen-Trzaskowski meeting, does the Civic Coalition now count on wider than the support among the confederation voters?
– This electorate is very diverse, the confederation club itself (…). If I were to count who could vote more to RafaÅ‚ Trzaskowski, then certainly those voters with a free market view of the economy (…). I hope that they will vote more to RafaÅ‚ Trzaskowski than for a candidate who is socializing – assessed Zbigniew KonwiÅ„ski, chairman of the Civic Coalition.
KonwiÅ„ski admitted that “a great puzzle is how these proportions will eventually spread.” – One thing is certain. Indeed, the few days that we have to do to the second round of elections are a real time of decision for voters of SÅ‚awomir Mentzen – added the politician KO.
