Piotr Duda: Trzaskowski Has Civic Platform in His DNA

Michał Olech

- Indeed, as one of the candidates put it, modernization. How those poor souls must have toiled in 2011 to lie so much during the election campaign. Only to decide in 2012 to raise the retirement age, without consulting society, let alone trade unions. If anyone has the legitimacy to speak on this matter and speak out loudly, it is the 'Solidarity' trade union. It was the National Commission, at its meeting in Katowice, that decided we would collect 500,000 signatures within 1.5 months, because that's all the time we had. To submit a motion for a referendum. How many did we collect? Almost 3 million. Did we submit the motion? We did. How were we all treated in the Sejm? In my speech, I said clearly: you lied in the morning, at noon, in the evening. Donald Tusk - there will be no raising of the age. Vincent Rostowski - there is no need for that. Bronisław Komorowski - there is absolutely no need for that. They sat there, without even batting an eyelid, in the parliamentary benches. And then the Prime Minister's speech. How dare you scoundrels come to the Sejm and ask for a referendum? We will decide what the retirement age will be. And Mr. candidate Trzaskowski will not escape this. Because he has Civic Platform in his DNA and is a hardened liberal, and we know that perfectly well. And let him say it openly today: yes, I will become president, I will raise the retirement age. Because they have it in their blood, let them say it loudly, let them simply not be ashamed of it - stated Piotr Duda.
