Szymon Hołownia, the presidential candidate from Poland 2050, was recently asked whether he plans to attend the march in Warsaw organized by Donald Tusk. “To be honest, we don’t really understand why, in such an important moment, people are once again being pulled to Warsaw instead of going to where the people actually are — where they live, face problems, and seek answers,” the Speaker of the Sejm replied. He added that Warsaw is not “the whole world,” and emphasized that he would not participate in a march supporting another candidate.
Speaking at a press conference in Rzeszów’s main square, Hołownia was asked directly whether he would join the event being organized by Donald Tusk and Rafał Trzaskowski on May 25 in Warsaw.
“For the simple reason that I intend to face Rafał Trzaskowski in the second round, I do not plan to go,” Hołownia responded. “It would be difficult for me to march in support of another candidate under such circumstances. I’m not considering any other scenario,” he said.
The politician also commented on the Civic Platform’s recurring strategy of organizing marches.
“We’re hearing that same slogan again — ‘one list.’ We know it well, and frankly, we still don’t understand why, at such a crucial time, people are once again being summoned to Warsaw instead of heading out to the places where people live, where they experience problems and seek solutions,” Hołownia remarked.
He reiterated his view that Warsaw is not “the entire world.”
Hołownia also pointed out that Rafał Trzaskowski’s campaign team had not invited him to the event.
