New party to be formed for minority German speakers in Opolskie voivodship

Hubert Beier, a member of the board of directors of the Social and Cultural German Society (Towarzystwo Spoleczno-Kulturalne Niemcow - TSKN) in the Opolskie voivodship, has accused TSKN's management of abusing its power. He also announced plans to form a rival party for German minorities in Poland prior to the local government elections. "With anxiety I notice that monarchy rules are being adopted by TSKN. Frankly speaking, nobody knows who is being paid from our money and for what kind of work. The system is being upheld by a small group of people who no longer represent us," said Beier. According to the latest poll by OBOP, the ruling Democratic Left Alliance and German Minority (SLD-MN) coalition in the Opolskie voivodship, can receive a maximum of 15 parliamentary seats out of a total of 30. Therefore, the introduction of a new political formation in the area may lead to a significant change in the spread of power. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A4) A.K.
