- I confirm my declaration from March, but I am open to other decisions. I wanted to resign in 2020. Unexpectedly, the epidemic came, we did not convene a congress then, and a year later I was asked to stay because there was a serious problem in the party at that time. If the leader changed, it's unknown what would happen. I believe that in this new committee that will be formed, there should be one very experienced person - said Jarosław Kaczyński in an interview with Radio Maryja.

When asked if it was Mariusz Błaszczak, the PiS leader replied: - Mr. Chairman has been with us since his political childhood, from the youth wing, throughout our party's over 30-year history. He held various positions in local government, was in the government as Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense. He has party experience – he was the head of the parliamentary club. It is true, I propose such a solution. I would be very happy if it were Mariusz Błaszczak, because I value and like him. However, this is not a kind of directive from the party senior to choose him as a successor. I believe it would be the most sensible decision the party congress can make, but it is already within the congress's purview.
