It is noted that at the party congress in Krakow, PiS leader Jarosław Kaczyński officially presented Przemysław Czarnek as the candidate for prime minister in the next parliamentary elections.
The politician stated that PiS "is boarding a high-speed train" that should lead the party to victory in the elections.
Once again, from the "Sokół" hall, after President Andrzej Duda and President Karol Nawrocki, we are boarding a high-speed train so that all of us win for Poland
In turn, the leader of the "Civic Coalition" and current Prime Minister Donald Tusk commented on Czarnek's nomination: "Three confederations against us. There is no need to be afraid, but they cannot be underestimated. One thing is clear: in 2027, Poland faces an all-in game."
