Polish politician Jacek Sasin declared on TVN24 that a coalition with Grzegorz Braun is preferable to one with Donald Tusk, provoking condemnation from MPs and a former prime minister.
Coalition with Braun Sparks Outrage
Jacek Sasin appeared on TVN24 on Tuesday, 9 December, claiming a coalition with Grzegorz Braun is preferable to one with Donald Tusk. He warned that if voters bring Braun’s party into parliament and it becomes essential for achieving a majority, then serious reconsideration would be needed. Sasin, former minister of state assets in a PiS government, expressed the view in a televised interview.
Parliamentary Responses
Polish MPs reacted strongly. KO parliamentarian Dariusz Joński, in a portal post, noted that Sasin’s comparison of Braun to Tuska follows recent accusations in PiS of the foreign policy’s “Russian puppets.” He said Sasin “just left the country.”
Sejm marshal Włodzimierz Czarzasty of the Left called Braun’s views “terrifying” and condemned his hatred toward people and Jews. PSL’s Piotr Zgorzelski said the “brown coalition” was forming “just to seize power.” He added that the PiS‑universe has no brakes on such a venture.
KO’s Mariusz Witczak accused Sasin of “letting himself go down the rabbit hole,” saying he supported a political agitator, liar, and a “turtle of lies about Oświęcim.” He warned that the remarks were “shameful” and “discrediting” under Polish political standards.
Former Prime Minister Morawiecki Raises Doubts
Mateusz Morawiecki was asked in the podcast “It’s not that simple” by Grzegorz Sroczyński whether a coalition with the Polish Crown Confederacy is feasible. The former leader said he finds it hard to imagine a government with Braun, and even harder to picture a second term for Donald Tusk, stressing his concerns in a public interview.
