There were many names, any surprising. Marcin Mastalerek, head of the cabinet of the current head of state, was asked if he would be willing to make a decision to run for office in the presidential election.
“Of course I would be ready, but I don’t know if I’ll make up my mind. I am encouraged by many people" – said Mastalerek. A fewer days later on 1 of the commercial radio stations Andrzej Duda noted that his minister did not identify him as the individual who urged him to do so. But he's not against it.
"Any politician who enters a large national policy has a presidential bun in his backpack and should be ready to execute the most crucial functions in the state. Remember that we are talking about a very young politician who is already in a advanced position. Minister Mastalerek is only 40, so he has a political future ahead of him. He would be the youngest president in the past of the Republic, due to the fact that I will remind you that president Aleksander Kwasniewski, erstwhile he was elected, was 42 years old and I was 43" – said president Duda.
Andrzej Duda knows what he says – there are no impossible things in the presidential election. 10 years ago, no 1 would have thought of considering his candidacy for the highest office in Poland. And any of us surely inactive remember Stanisław Tymiński, a mysterious businessman from outside the ocean who appeared abruptly in 1990, turned the Polish political scene upside down and in the second circular faced Lech Wałęsa.
