In this context, the Holovnia, now the talker of the Sejm, is simply a major problem for Tusk. His organization Poland 2050 has key 31 mandates that aid the Prime Minister keep the majority. However, recently, Holownia has been accused of flirting with PiS.

Loin admitted to gathering with top representatives of the Law and Justice at the beginning of this month, including with organization president Jarosław Kaczyński, with whom he had a late evening interview at Adam Bielan's apartment, associate of the Law and Justice Office for the European Parliament. This caused intense speculation about his motives.

Poland 2050 loses in polls

The Holovnia itself denied the claims that the Law and Justice offered him support as a fresh Prime Minister in government with the engagement of the Kaczyński Party.

"I am 1 of the fewer politicians in Poland who, I stress, regularly meet with representatives of both deadlyly quarrelled camps," wrote Holownia on X after announcing his gathering with PiS.

"I stand firm that, especially in these days, politicians of different options should talk to each other, otherwise we will kill each other. I consider this to be a norm, not a departure from it," said the talker of the Sejm.

Despite his assurances that he's not plotting anything from the PiS, late gathering time and place where it took place — Bielan’s private flat — made the controversy quiet and Holownia organization loses support in the polls.

Further string of material under video

In a survey conducted by United Surveys for Virtual Poland, published on Wednesday, Poland 2050 received only 2.8 percent of support. This is well below the 5% threshold essential to get parliamentary seats.

From Reality Show to Parliament Marshal

Prior to the beginning of his political career, Hołownia was a media character, known for co-hosting the Polish version of the program “Mam Talent” and working in Catholic media. In 2020, he began the presidential run as a centred outsider, with a pro-European, socially progressive and economy-oriented programme.

In the 2020 election, he achieved a decent score, scoring 14 percent of the vote and a adequate position to establish his own party.

Marshal of the Sejm Simon Holovnia, 7 July 2025.

This year he did much worse in the presidential election, scoring little than 5% of the vote. This weakened his position before the reconstruction of the government, due to the fact that he was behind not only behind the far right Sławomir Mentzen, but besides extremist Grzegorz Braun, who is presently under investigation on the denial of the Holocaust.

In the parliamentary elections of 2023, Poland 2050 Hołownia entered a centre coalition with the Polish People's organization (PSL), creating the alleged 3rd Road. It became part of the opposition block that overturned the PiS government. The holovnia was elected Marshal of the Sejm in November 2023.

Recently Polish 2050 and PSL roads split.

Given that the Holovnia is to hand over the marshal's position in November to a individual elected by the fresh Left coalition, There is simply a hazard that Poland 2050 will now be moved aside.

Recent polls indicate that if fresh elections were held now, the coalition would lose most to the Law and Justice if the second decided to cooperate with the far right.
