Talks are ongoing
Sławomir Mentzen, the leader of the Confederation, recently revealed that he had held talks with President Nawrocki about a potential “right-wing Senate pact”. The aim of such an agreement would be cooperation between PiS, Konfederacja and perhaps other right-wing circles in the Senate elections. The mechanism of the pact assumes that its participants would not run candidates against each other in individual constituencies.
A similar Senate pact already exists within the ruling coalition and brought it success in the elections in 2019 and 2023, ensuring a majority in the Senate. According to research by the Polish National Research Group, if PiS and Confederation concluded such an agreement, they could gain a majority in the Senate in the ratio of 58 to 42. If PiS started alone against the existing Senate pact, the advantage would remain with the ruling coalition.
Polls also show that without Confederation's support, neither PiS nor the Civic Coalition is currently able to build a majority in the Sejm. Despite this, the Confederation has not clearly declared with whom it could enter into a coalition. Its leaders rejected PiS's proposal to sign the Polish Declaration, the key point of which was the exclusion of cooperation with Donald Tusk.
