- I don't feel like a pest - Ryszard Petru said in the "Morning Interview" on RMF FM.

When Tomasz Terlikowski remarked that "this is what they say about him in the party," he replied: - I don't take these statements seriously. However, everyone has the right to run in the leadership elections. The party, as you can see, has various currents, and it was precisely this entrepreneurial current that voted for me. It was almost 100 people. Therefore, this sensitivity of party members should also be taken into account, and in political parties, one must approach all of this with a certain distance.

- As for my colleagues, I understand they got a little carried away by emotions. [...] I have no idea [where these emotions come from]. Neither one nor the other has ever ordered me to do so. [...] I forgive them, Christianly, because I believe they do not know what they are doing - he stated.
