Konfederacja leaders are meeting with Prime-Minister-Designate Morawiecki today, Friday, at 12.30. Morawiecki (Law and Justice) has been nominated by President Duda to attempt to form a government - controversially, since no other party has indicated they would like to enter into a coalition with Law and Justice.
In case Morawiecki was in any doubt, Konfederacja released the following unambiguous statement ahead of the meeting:
"The Freedom and Independence Confederation will not support a government of Mateusz Morawiecki, nor one of Donald Tusk."
They continue:
"We believe that Poland deserves an authentically right-wing government and that Mateusz Morawiecki, in his six years as Prime Minister, proved many times that he has no intention of realising policies that would be conservative, free-market or in Poland's national interest."
Krzysztof Bosak, one of Konfederacja's leaders, has consistently moderated the image of his party and denied any possibility of coalition with Kaczyński's Law and Justice. He has given the strong impression of having the same strategy as other far-right parties in Holland, France and Italy - removing extremist elements to achieve power. However, other Konfederacja leaders, especially Grzegorz Braun, have kept up extremist opinions and "protests".
