There have been speculation in fresh hours about the possible start of Grzegorz Braun in the presidential election. These rumors have caused considerable agitation in the Confederate community. Will we be amazed by 1 of the most controversial politicians in the Polish scene?
According to unofficial information that began to circulate in public space, Braun was to consider starting the presidential election as an independent candidate. The subject was picked up by the media, suggesting that specified a decision could lead to a break-up in the Confederacy. In consequence to these reports, Sławomir Mentzen, the leader of the fresh Hope organization and 1 of the Confederate leaders, powerfully denied this information.
“I think it is people who are unkind to Grzegorz Braun that are spreading specified rumors. Grzegorz Braun is simply a large Confederate patriot. After all, he would not want to break it," Mentzen said during a Friday gathering with the inhabitants of the Living. He besides stressed that the Confederation remains united and its leaders cooperate in the implementation of the joint programme.
Mentzen did not cover the outrage with media speculation. He pointed out that the Confederacy is presently in the process of preparing for the European elections, and that any rumors of a possible break-up are detrimental to the group's image.
Prof. Piotrowski: “Braun has always thought about large political projects”
Commentary on rumors about Grzegorz Braun was besides expressed by Prof. Mirosław Piotrowski, erstwhile Euro MP and close associate of Braun in the past.
– Braun always thought about large political projects and did not hide his ambition. Starting in the presidential election is for him a logical continuation of public activity. But let us remember that in politics nothing happens accidentally. If specified information appears, it means that individual wants to play it," said Piotrowski in a conversation with Onet, which the portal published yesterday. “I confirm that Grzegorz Braun will run for president of Poland. The convention will take place after the signatures are collected.
This information is besides provided by writer Piotr Szlachtowicz, Marcin Rola from Realu24.pl and prof. Adam Wielomski.
Grzegorz Braun has already run for president
Let us remind that Grzegorz Braun already has experience as a candidate for president of Poland. In 2015, he competed in the election as an independent candidate, gaining 0.83% of the vote. His run focused on slogans concerning defence of Poland's sovereignty, opposition to European Union interference and appeals to conventional Catholic values.
Although Braun's score was not spectacular, his start contributed to expanding designation among the conservative electorate. In the following years, Braun joined the Confederacy, becoming 1 of its leading figures.
Will he return to the presidential trail? There's no conclusive evidence of that yet. Sławomir Mentzen ensures that the Confederation remains united and Braun does not plan any action that could harm the parties. Nevertheless, rumors of Braun's presidential ambitions will surely warm the atmosphere in the coming weeks.
