“The crimes being committed now, compared to the previous eight years of their rule, are simply incomparable. Indeed, we were too lenient. But now I cannot imagine that these outrages, these violations of the Constitution, could go unpunished,” said Marek Suski, Deputy Chairman of the PiS Parliamentary Caucus, speaking on Republika about political plans for the coming years.
There are more than 1.5 years left until the parliamentary elections. Even so, the opposition is increasingly boldly presenting proposals for the future to Poles, with the aim of removing the current authorities from power in 2027.
In the public debate, especially around party polling, theories are emerging about the necessity of forming a coalition on the right side of Poland’s political scene. The most frequently presented scenario is cooperation between Law and Justice (PiS) and the Confederation party. Opinions among PiS politicians on this issue vary, although most declare that they believe in a single-party PiS government.
Suski: We Were Too Lenient
Marek Suski, Deputy Chairman of the PiS Parliamentary Caucus, appeared on Republika and was asked about plans for the upcoming election campaign.
“I believe in Poland, I believe in the wisdom of Poles, I believe in Law and Justice. To govern well and to hold accountable those scoundrels who are ruling now, we must govern on our own. With Braun, who is closer to the Civic Platform, this cannot be done,” the politician assessed.
He also referred to the actions being taken by the governing camp led by Donald Tusk.
“The prosecution is closely scrutinizing our conventions. Just like in a state with a dictatorship, where the opposition is persecuted, it scrutinizes. Special teams are being set up to prosecute. All of this shows how bad the situation is. But in some respects, it is very good. Because our society does not accept a return to communism and clearly says that this bad government must be removed from the helm of our state, because they are leading us like the Titanic toward an iceberg,” Suski said.
Asked whether those currently in power would face “accountability,” he replied: “We will abide by the law, and under the law, with honest courts, with an honest prosecution service—not the illegal one we have now—with ordinary random assignment of judges, they will not be able to defend themselves.”
“The crimes being committed now, compared to the previous eight years of their rule, are incomparable. Indeed, we were too lenient. But now I cannot imagine that these outrages, these violations of the Constitution, could go unpunished. They will have to be held accountable. Several people will bear criminal responsibility,” the PiS MP announced.
