Schetyna on the presidential election:

Trzaskowski is the Civic Coalition's candidate.

- I am not ruling out such a situation [a single candidate for president from the entire coalition], really, I'm not saying it's optimal, because I hear arguments that someone wants to muzzle someone, that richness and political strength must be found in diversity. I believe that these elections must be won. The democrats, the democratic coalition must win the presidential elections to have two years of calm functioning and work on fulfilling electoral commitments - Grzegorz Schetyna said on Radio ZET. - Rafał Trzaskowski is the natural and obvious candidate for the Civic Coalition due to his campaign from 4 years ago [...] I am convinced he has huge chances and will win these elections - he continued. "Tusk would have to be the sole candidate with the support of other democratic coalition parties" - Donald Tusk himself denies it, and I believe his candidacy is not a primary one today, he doesn't want to run, he says he won't run, that he is fulfilling his prime ministerial mission. He would have to be the sole candidate, if not Rafał Trzaskowski, if Donald Tusk were to consider it, if the other political parties forming the democratic coalition thought he was the candidate, that they wanted to support him, then it would be a topic for leaders to discuss - Schetyna continued. - Today, this topic does not exist, I say this very clearly, today and tomorrow, the candidate for the Civic Coalition is Rafał Trzaskowski - he emphasized.
