Cymański: I am praying for Zbyszek Ziobro. There was an unnecessary conversation, but I extinguished the regret in my heart
– The circumstances of my departure from the party and parting with Zbyszek Ziobro were not very elegant. There was an unnecessary conversation. So I don't ask him about his illness, because in such a situation peace is the most important thing. I pray for him though. I extinguished the regret in my heart and despite all the criticism towards various decisions, I will defend his name. I am outraged by what some politicians are doing, demanding that he be summoned before an investigative committee, questioning his illness. Hatred kills reason – says Tadeusz Cymański, former MP of Solidarna Polska, in an interview with “Wprost”.
Agnieszka Niełościowska, “Wprost”: Local elections will be held in a month. However, PiS's ratings have dropped significantly recently.
Tadeusz Cymański: As in life, the best person does not always win.
However, the presidential elections will be crucial. We need to focus on them especially, which does not mean that local and European parliamentary elections should be completely abandoned.
Will you take part too?
Yes, to the Malbork County Council.
So history has come full circle. You're going back to the “old rubbish”.
Yes, a quarter of a century ago I was the mayor of Malbork and I also sat on the Council. This isn't the first time for me.
Will you find yourself again? Are you no longer fascinated by “big” politics?
Sure, it's better to jump on the horse and run to the top, but working in local government doesn't detract from me in any way. This is a different, but equally interesting level of problems to solve.
How do you assess the first months of the new team's rule?
I am concerned about the radicalism of the authorities, especially when it comes to issues close to me.
