WKK on the Executive Committee: "This meeting prepares us for the National Council on February 23rd, where we aim to decide our approach to the European Parliament and national elections."

Michał Olech

- The subject of our conference today is the Supreme Executive Committee, our meeting of regional leaders. I am here with those who will participate, the presidents of the PSL, the heads of regions. We will discuss the European Parliament elections and the elections to the Polish parliament. This meeting is preparing us for the National Council on February 23rd, where we want to make a decision on how we will approach the elections to the European Parliament and the national parliament. I believe we need to approach these elections collectively. There will be no time after the European Parliament elections to discuss further coalitions. This decision needs to be made as soon as possible. We have had a series of talks with various groupings on the democratic side. We have been cooperating with UED for a long time, with Nowoczesna, with SLD, with Platforma. We want to make the wisest and best decision. Of course, running independently is always an option for us. We are ready for that at any moment. We are probably one of the few political parties that is capable of running independently, but we are also interested – and these voices come not only from MPs but primarily from those we meet with across Poland – in building a common proposal for Poland - stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz at a briefing in the Sejm.
- Anti-PiS is not an alternative and is not an alternative for Poles. We do not agree with many of the moves this government is making, but we want to build a positive proposal, not based on negating the current rulers, but on the common good of all citizens, on a new, better Poland - added the PSL president.
