Kaczyński:
I'm not planning to leave, but it's good that younger generations are taking the helm
- No, I am not considering it - stated Jarosław Kaczyński in an interview with Krzysztof Ziemiec on RMF FM, when asked about the scenario of him becoming Prime Minister. When pressed if he wouldn't take the role under any other circumstances, he replied:
"It's hard to say anything for certain in social life. I am aware that I will be 70 years old soon. Of course, there have been much older politicians holding various high offices; there are currently much, much older ones on the world stage, but I also know that Poland doesn't have such a gerontocratic tradition. In Poland, political careers generally ended around the age of seventy, if not cut short earlier by death or some other event. I repeat this, I take it into account. This doesn't mean that I'm planning to leave right now, that I want to step down, but I also believe that it is a good phenomenon that people a generation younger than me are taking the helm, or in many cases have already taken it. For someone who built parties - because in essence Porozumienie Centrum and Prawo i Sprawiedliwość are a continuation - the fact that this party will endure, that there are subsequent generations of politicians who will be able to lead it further in more or less the same direction - even though today's problems and the problems from almost 30 years ago are in many places different - that is a huge satisfaction. I would very much wish that God would allow me to still observe this, but perhaps a little bit from the sidelines."
