Jacek Protasiewicz, Stanisław Huskowski and Michał Kamiński were previously excluded from the Civic Platform. At the time, Niesiolowski sent a protest letter to the authorities of the party, which signed 30 people.
– Mr Schetyna ignored this letter, had any disciplinary talks. All I had to say was that I wouldn't accept that decision. We gave him until early September. Mr Schetina did not respond," said the politician.
