Kukiz to set up party ahead of autumn elections?

The movement’s ranks are set to be filled with local politicians-councillors and younger voters.

In an interview with the PAP news agency, Kukiz said that a movement as such already exists, but for the time being is “a structure without a structure”, although he intends to field candidates in the general election later this year.

After the second round of the presidential election billed this Sunday, Kukiz said that he “is to travel across Poland, because his supporters and voters expect it”.

“We can’t forget about the six thousand people whho sent us letters of support and the five thousand who donated to the Kukiz campaign,” Tymoteusz Myrda, a member of the Lower Silesian regional parliament and an ally of Kukiz added.

“I’m an experienced local politician, and I’ve never seen such mobilisation before,” Myrda said.

Patryk Hałaczkiwicz, who led Kukiz’s presidential campaign, has also confirmed that an official movement will be launched in the near future.

Meanwhile, Kukiz has said that local councillors are not the only force behind his civic movement. “Not only the youth and councillors back me, I’ve travelled across Poland and other citizens also support me,” he told PAP.

“The milk has been spilt, nothing can stop us now.” (jb)
