The president has a very big role to play here, Zoll emphasized.
Labuda: cooperation is possible, but it depends on both parties
Barbara Labuda said that such cooperation “is possible.” – Of course, it depends on both sides. I absolutely believe in the opposition’s good will and wise political decisions. As for President Duda, I have various question marks, she admitted.
– I would like to follow the professor’s line of thought and think that the president will also take responsibility for the good of Poland, and not for the good of the party with which he is associated – she added.
