Robert Biedrioń, the Left’s candidate for president, talks about the final stretch of the race for the presidential seat. We ask about the Left’s loyalty to Biedroń and his meetings with people after isolation.
Robert Biedroń:
Greetings to all of Bolesławiec and the region.
President Andrzej Duda has stripped a large part of Polish society of their humanity by calling them inhuman.
Such words not only hurt but also kill. The road from hate speech to hate crimes is very short.
PO and PiS exchange power.
The statements about LGBT people are being widely discussed around the world. Even the media in China and Japan are writing indignantly about what our president said.
Our indifference and silence can kill.
PO, PiS and Confederation are right-wing parties. The domain of the right wing is not bringing society together, but dividing it.
The Catholic Church does not pay the same taxes as someone who runs a car repair shop or a hair salon.
Politicians from Platform and PiS have always knelt before bishops.
The state should be secular and grant equal rights to all citizens.
I feel best among people, and that is the kind of president I want to be.
There is still some time left before the election; it is unpredictable.
For the Left, building nurseries and kindergartens is more important than building places of worship.
During meetings, people tell me that they are troubled by the Church meddling in politics.
Public opinion polls show that Polish society is changing and is ready for many solutions that exist in Europe.
Neither a candidate from PiS nor one from PO will build a community, because they are waging an eternal Polish-Polish war.
In the election, we will decide whether Poland will remain under the rule of the right wing—PiS and PO—or take a step forward.
The best president since 1989 was Aleksander Kwaśniewski, and I would like to be an Aleksander Kwaśniewski 2.0.
