Włodzimierz Czarzasty on the future of the left in the parliamentary elections
AI-generated summary
The National Council of the New Left decided that the discussion on the formula for taking part in the elections would take place in February.
During his visit to Bystra in the Silesian Voivodeship, the Speaker of the Sejm was asked whether the left wing is able to form a common bloc in next year's parliamentary elections. In response, he recalled that, in accordance with the decision of the National Council of the New Left, the first discussion on the formula for running in the elections would take place in February next year.
I recommend, first of all, to myself and all my colleagues not to comment on this matter until February next year, said Włodzimierz Czarzasty. He added that his party wants "the government of October 15 to be better, to gain public support and to continue to govern." Recent polls show that the latter may be difficult, because right-wing parties seem to have a greater chance of building a parliamentary majority.
We will look for different solutions, but as an experienced politician I say clearly: it is too soon to decide. The option of one left-wing bloc, with PPS, Unia Pracy, OPZZ, Razem Party, and Mrs. Senyszyn's structure is certainly my dream. I don't know whether this will come true - admitted the Speaker of the Sejm.
I have the skills of a magician from Grochów to try to reason with people - Czarzasty added jokingly, referring to the title of the novel "The Magician from Lublin" by Isaac Bashevis Singer. According to him, the difference between the New Left and the Razem Party is their attitude towards the current government, not their views.
We have common views, these views are left-wing, but Adrian Zandberg does not and does not want to take responsibility for anything, he prefers to criticize. The party I represent wants to take responsibility, said Czarzasty.
