Nowoczesna suspends 3 MPs linked with the move to PO

Three Nowoczesna MPs, Joanna Augustynowska, Marta Golbik i Grzegorz Furgo have been suspended by the grouping, following reports in various media that they will leave the party and join Civic Platform (PO). “The situation required our reaction. We've decided the MPs to declare whether they're staying with us or leaving. After not receiving any response we've decided to suspend them,” the Polish Press Agency (PAP) quoted anonymous sources within the party leadership. According to different media reports, a number of Nowoczesna MPs are planning to leave the party, because they're not happy with Ryszard Petru leadership. According to PAP, which spoke with one of the PO leaders, transfers “are possible, but their scope remains unknown as the situation is quickly developing.” Currently, Nowoczesna has 31 MPs, while PO has 132 delegates.
