Szymon Hołownia Eyes Leadership of Poland 2050 Parliamentary Club

Szymon Hołownia has expressed interest in leading his party’s parliamentary club, even as he quietly resigns from his position as deputy head of the Poland 2050 national board.

Potential Shift in Club Leadership

The Speaker of the Sejm could take charge of the parliamentary club should the current chairman, Paweł Śliz, decide to run for mayor of Kraków. Radio sources indicate that no final decision has been reached on this matter.

Maciej Żywno, Deputy Speaker of the Senate from Poland 2050, addressed Hołownia’s intentions on RMF FM. He stated that Hołownia has clearly expressed a desire to be active within the parliamentary club and to serve as its chairman if his colleagues desire it, while emphasizing that Hołownia does not criticize the current leadership of Paweł Śliz.

Departure from National Board

According to TVN24, Szymon Hołownia’s name has been removed from the “national board” section of the Poland 2050 website. The party founder has officially resigned from his post as deputy chairman.

Hołownia assumed the role of deputy chairman in February, just one month after Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz was elected party leader. His tenure lasted only four months. A party official noted that the resignation took place with the consent and knowledge of party authorities.

Internal Tensions and New Initiatives

Hołownia has launched a group on Facebook called “Moderates,” which Maciej Żywno clarified is a space for discussion rather than a political faction. Journalists suggest this move signals Hołownia’s preparation for a new political project amidst internal instability.

This exit marks another chapter of crisis within the movement, following the departure of a group of politicians led by Paulina Hennig-Kloska earlier this year. Hennig-Kloska stated that they left due to a lack of space for dialogue and partnership within the party and the parliamentary club.
