Jacek Nizinkiewicz: Donald Tusk Is Better Off With Szymon Hołownia on His Side

Donald Tusk needs peace inside his coalition before the elections, not another round of internal conflict. When those in power focus on fighting among themselves, they risk ending up on what commentator Jacek Nizinkiewicz calls the “rubbish heap of history.”

That is why Szymon Hołownia’s possible return to the government may become a key issue for the next elections. Hołownia has made clear that he wants to return to political play. Appearing on TVN24’s “Kropka nad i,” the Sejm deputy speaker openly said he would be willing to join the government.

His comments confirmed information previously reported by Rzeczpospolita in mid-August. Hołownia has also outlined a possible role for himself in the cabinet: coordinating “information security.” The proposal suggests an area of responsibility focused on the political and communications space, although his plans do not necessarily match those of Tusk.

The question extends beyond a cabinet reshuffle. Hołownia’s future also involves the leadership of Poland 2050, with the possibility of him seeking to regain control of the party. For Tusk, however, the immediate calculation is coalition stability. The commentary presents Hołownia’s return as a potential way to limit tensions before voters next decide the country’s political direction.
