Donald Tusk (PO) commented on Tuesday on a tense relation between Confederate leader Sławomir Mentzen and PiS president Jarosław Kaczyński. The Prime Minister referred to the thought of creating a pact of legislature right-wing groups in future parliamentary elections.
"What I observe and what is happening on the line of Mr Mentzen - Mr Kaczyński, is more like a civilian war present than a willingness to cooperate, and emotions will only grow" - said Tusk at a conference in Raciborz.
A dispute over the host of the pact
The conflict concerns the expression of a possible right-wing legislature pact. Mentzen stated last week that he did not want to talk to Kaczyński about this, but could talk to president Karol Nawrocki.
Kaczyński replied at the time that the legislature pact with Nawrock as host is "rational, but this rationality can be disrupted". He added that "reasonable people, as so raised, not throwing completely false accusations, can talk to each other".
Mentzen-Nawrocki talk
On Monday, the Confederate leader met with the President. Mentzen later said that Nawrocki "perfectly understands the situation, watches our disagreements with president Kaczyński".
According to Mentzen, the president understands both his position and Kaczyński's arguments and wants to improve the relation "on the right side of the Polish political scene". Confederate leader expressed hope that Nawrocki would "take on any responsibility" to "a small closer".
Plans Tusk
Tusk pointed out that he was not a political advisor "or Mr Mentzen, nor Mr Kaczyński, nor Mr Nawrocki". "I have my plans for future elections and they are surely not plans that will delight Mr Kaczyński, Mr Nawrocki or Mr Mentzen" - added the Prime Minister.
The legislature Pact is an agreement between opposition groups on the issue of joint candidates for the Senate. In 2019, he gave the opposition 51 tickets per 100 and in 2023 66 tickets.
