Leo on the Offer to Become Minister of Culture:

I Collided with Vile Behavior I Would Prefer Not to Encounter Within My Own Party.

- It was a difficult decision. I had many doubts, these were purely doubts related to my personal and family situation, but despite that, I decided to accept this ministry and this offer - said Aleksandra Leo in an interview with Aleksandra Pawlicka on "TVP Info Morning." - I had a meeting with Prime Minister Donald Tusk beforehand; it was a very good meeting, a very good conversation, for which I am very grateful. And then, well, I had to confront the brutal side of politics, which we often hear about, and behaviors that are unacceptable to me, one might say they are rather vile behaviors - she continued. - Ultimately, family matters and personal matters prevailed, but also, as I said, I encountered behaviors that I would prefer not to encounter in politics, within my own party. So much is said in politics about how few of us women there are and how we constantly have to fight with men to find our place in politics. Meanwhile, it turns out [...] that very often the opponent or enemy is not a man one has to fight for a place, but rather another woman. For me, there is often a lack of this sisterhood in politics - she went on to say.
