Tusk:

The Problem with Hołownia Was a False Premise. The PiS-PO Dispute is a Fundamental Emotion Among Ordinary People

- I believe the problem with Szymon Hołownia and his party stemmed from a very false premise, that on October 15, 2023, a significant portion of Polish voters cast their ballots for a "third way," meaning neither PiS nor PO, but rather to find some third solution - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk in the podcast “WojewódzkiKędzierski”.

- No. Poles voted because after 8 years, they were truly fed up with the brutal, vulgar mess that PiS had inflicted upon us. Paradoxically, seeking a third way, even the name itself was adopted, seeking a third way was, in a sense, the first stage being the symmetry of "PiS-PO - one evil." The second stage is the illusion that because of this, we will find something beyond or alongside. And the fundamental dispute in Polish politics and the fundamental emotion among ordinary people is precisely this dispute - he continued.

- Because if one can go to Bielen, we know who he is, the host of this dinner, we know who he was and what he stands for. To go to him at night and fraternize with Kaczyński, that was a consequence precisely of this symmetry - Donald Tusk concluded.
