Agnieszka Bodnar, MP, resigned from the Poland 2050 organization and the parliamentary club. This decision, as she stressed, has matured in it for a long time. Bodnar criticised the policy pursued by organization leaders, which she felt was in conflict with the values with which they went to the elections. The messenger will proceed her work as non-attached.
Bodnar announced her resignation in an entry on the X platform. «Today I have resigned my membership of Poland 2050 and the parliamentary club. This decision, although not easy, has matured in me for a long time» - wrote the messenger.
Bodnar criticised the party's strategy, which she felt was «based on an inherently erroneous strategy». She pointed out that the main message of the organization fighting against the “enhanced camps” and polarisation “is a sign of equality between the democratic Civic Coalition and the populist, devastating democracy in Poland – the Law and Justice”.
Criticism of organization strategy
In her opinion, this communicative is an aberration, due to the fact that “it legitimises the illegal actions of the Law and, on the another hand, it hits the full democratic camp with specified difficulty”. She stressed that the Law and Justice «its policy of trampling on the law has eliminated itself from the democratic negotiating table».
Bodnar pointed out that she could not accept the situation in which Poland 2050, being part of the ruling coalition, is taking “actions weakening its unity and effectiveness”. She assessed that the organization «its goals put in the foreground alternatively of playing teamly».
Holownia gathering with PiS
The MP stressed that last week Simon Holownia met prominent PiS activists “in specified an inappropriate format, it is not the genesis of her decision”, but it has someway mobilised her to make that decision. She pointed out that she powerfully believes that the governing coalition “will reactivate, strengthen and be able to accomplish all the goals set before Poland by the end of the term”.
Bodnar has declared that she intends to work as a non-attached MP, in close cooperation with «Koalicja 15 October». «I want to assure my constituents that I do not change my views, I will proceed to support all good solutions for Poland» - she wrote.
Parliamentary club reaction
Bodnar's decision was addressed by Polish club head 2050 Paweł Sliz. «I respect your right to make your own assessment of the political situation though I do not diametrically agree with it» - wrote Slipper on platform X. He thanked the MP for her work on the “yellow team”.
Following the publication of Bodnar's statement, she was asked by journalists in the Sejm about the details of the decision. She assured that at this point she was not considering joining any party, and she was not talking in this direction. She estimated that mobilization before the parliamentary elections in 2.5 years should be a precedence for “all democratic camps”.
Situation in Poland 2050
On Tuesday, Onet stated that there was a threat of fragmentation over the parliamentary club of Poland 2050. According to the portal, following disclosure of Holowna's nightly gathering with Jarosław Kaczyński, any of the crucial politicians of the group demanded a public cut off from the PiS.
Hołownia, referring to these reports, said on Tuesday that he was not afraid of a break-up at the club of Poland 2050. «If they have the courage to come and say it openly, and lay down papers, let them come and lay down» - emphasized the organization leader.
On Sunday evening, MP Tomasz Zimoch announced that he was suspended in the rights of a associate of the Polish club 2050 per month. The decision related to his criticism of the talker of the Sejm regarding media arrangements for the Holowna gathering with PiS politicians.
