PSL discussing snap elections?
11:15
Polish People’s Party (PSL) politicians have reportedly discussed the possibility of snap elections during the party’s meeting on Sunday, according to sources quoted by the Polish Press Agency. Such a scenario would be considered in case Prime Minister Donald Tusk becomes head of the European Council.
“We believe that snap parliamentary elections would not be in our interest. We would not like to combine them with local elections,” one of the politicians was quoted as saying. He added that if Tusk gets elected, he should ensure that he has a successor for the prime minister post.
PSL leader Janusz Piechociński meanwhile told reporters that the coalition would last even if the PM leaves Poland. He stressed that the coalition agreement was signed by his party with the Civic Platform and not just by the party leaders.
