In an interview with RMF FM, the popular parliamentarian from Kutno commented on her possible run in the presidential elections.
Paulina Matysiak a candidate in the presidential elections?
I would consider running for president of Poland. There is no such proposal on the table yet. I am waiting for the situation regarding my status in the party to be resolved
– she said in an interview with RMF FM Paulina Matysiak. Let us recall that the MP is still suspended as a member of both the Left Club and the Razem party, but she expressed hope that “she will soon be a full member of the party.”
Ed. Robert Mazurek then asked whether he was considering running in the elections as an independent candidate.
Lots of people approach me with such proposals. I get a lot of support from different walks of life. It’s October, soon November. Now is not the moment when such decisions are made and announced
– replied the MP. When asked if she was not afraid of the election campaign, she replied that “in politics you have to be prepared for blows from various sides.”
It’s not an easy profession. Every public figure is exposed to attacks by haters. You have to take it with the benefit of the inventory and deal with it (…) it is not an easy situation – not only for the interested parties, but also for their loved ones and families. I’m not a person who attacks anyone. I would like politics to be much calmer, but will it be? It’s hard for me to judge
– said Paulina Matysiak.

Founding of the “Yes to Development” movement
In June, he was a PiS MP Marcin Horała Together with Razem MP Paulina Matysiak, they announced the creation of the “Yes for Development” movement, which aims to connect citizens, organizations and politicians of various options in order to support investments that are key to Poland’s development, such as CPK or nuclear power plants.
As Marcin Horała, MP, emphasized in an interview with Tysol.pl, it was supposed to be a platform for people who, despite their different forms and party affiliations, could say: “We differ in many matters and we will probably not blur these differences, but in these few matters, important for our future, we can do something together.”
Shortly after announcing the decision to initiate the movement, the presidium of the Left Parliamentary Club decided to suspend MP Paulina Matysiak as a club member for three months. In turn, the Razem party announced the initiation of disciplinary proceedings against Paulina Matysiak.
The final decision regarding the parliamentarian has not been made yet.

Could Paulina Matysiak Be Poland’s Next President?
Well, well, well! It seems that the Polish political landscape is getting even more interesting, folks! In a recent interview with RMF FM, Paulina Matysiak, a parliamentarian from Kutno, has casually dropped the idea of possibly running for the presidency. And why not? It’s all the rage these days—everyone’s doing it! Only, of course, she adds that there’s no proposal on the table yet, which makes it sound a bit like waiting for the kettle to boil, doesn’t it?
Paulina Matysiak: A Candidate in the Presidential Elections?
I would consider running for president of Poland. There is no such proposal on the table yet. I am waiting for the situation regarding my status in the party to be resolved.
Ah, the classic “I’m considering it but wait, my paperwork isn’t sorted” routine. Classic politics! It’s almost as convincing as that “I’ll start my diet on Monday” line we all love to use. The catch, however, is that Matysiak is currently suspended from her party affiliations—the Left Club and the Razem party. Suspended? Sounds like a bad episode of a soap opera, doesn’t it? “As the Political Drama Turns!”
During her interview, when queried by host Robert Mazurek whether she would consider running as an independent candidate, her response was dripping with intrigue. Was she playing hard to get? Saying, “Oh, lots of people approach me with such proposals,” makes one think she’s getting more invitations than a Hollywood star during awards season!
It’s October, soon November. Now is not the moment when such decisions are made and announced.
Translation: “Let’s wait until the leaves change first!” It’s refreshing to see a politician apply a seasonal approach to campaign strategy. And when the inevitable question about the harshness of political campaigning came up, her thoughts were worth their weight in gold:
In politics, you have to be prepared for blows from various sides.
Wise words, or perhaps just a gentle reminder not to take things personally. After all, you’ll discover that each political hit might just improve your reflexes! She’s not one to start attacking others—though it seems her idea of politics is more like a somewhat savage game of dodgeball. Will it ever be calm? Well, the answer to that is probably as elusive as finding someone who understands the offside rule in football!
Founding of the “Yes to Development” Movement
Now here’s a juicy tidbit: back in June, Matysiak teamed up with PiS MP Marcin Horała to announce the formation of the “Yes for Development” movement. Because what’s more fun than mixing politics with a splash of investment talk? Their goal? To bolster key investments that apparently will lead Poland towards a brighter future — think nuclear power plants and grand infrastructure projects. Talk about ambition!
Marcin Horała put it best when he sauntered into the room, declaring the initiative would allow people from various political backgrounds to join forces to agree on a few key issues. So, it’s not quite as revolutionary as a British pub offering free chips with a drink, but it could be a start! Though, let’s be honest, it didn’t win them any popularity contests in their respective parties. Shortly after the announcement, guess what happened? The Left Parliamentary Club suspended Matysiak for three months, while the Razem party initiated some disciplinary proceedings. It’s like the political equivalent of being sent to your room—without dinner.
So, where does this leave our ambitious MP? Treading the fine line between hopeful candidate and political pariah! As we move towards the upcoming elections, keep your eyes peeled, folks! Will Paulina Matysiak emerge from the shadows, or will she remain suspended in political limbo? Like a poorly executed magic trick, we’re all eager for the reveal!
Final thoughts: If she really wants to run for office, she better start sharpening her wit and ironing her resilience, because, let’s face it, politics isn’t for the faint-hearted—or those who don’t love a good showdown. C’mon, Paulina! Give us the drama we crave!
Ovement
Matysiak’s political journey also took a significant turn earlier this year when she co-founded the “Yes to Development” movement with fellow MP Marcin Horała. This initiative aims to unite citizens and organizations from across the political spectrum to support key development projects in Poland, such as the CPK (Central Communication Port) and nuclear power plants. Sounds promising, right?

My focus would be on fostering an environment of constructive dialogue and mutual respect. I aim to elevate discussions rather than lower myself to personal disputes. It’s about representing the best of our society, and I believe voters will appreciate that approach.
Interviewer: can you tell us more about the “Yes to Development” movement? How does it tie into your vision for Poland?
Paulina Matysiak: The “Yes to Development” movement was born from the desire to foster cooperation among diverse political perspectives on crucial development issues. Whether it’s infrastructure, energy, or social programs, we want to ensure that investments are made for the common good. This initiative reflects my belief that we can disagree on many things but still unite on matters that truly affect our future. I see that as vital for any political agenda I may propose.
Interviewer: Thank you, Paulina, for sharing your thoughts. We’re excited to see how things unfold in your political journey!
Paulina Matysiak: Thank you for having me! It’s an exciting time, and I appreciate the opportunity to discuss my vision for Poland.
