What position is Szymon Hołownia trying to take?
When will the elections for the new leader of Poland 2050 take place?
Has the decision on the election of the UN High Commissioner been already made?
The Swedish government supported Brodin's candidacy in October. Wrona referred to information obtained from well-informed diplomatic sources at the UN. As he emphasized, the final decision on the selection has not yet been made by Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.
The journalist also mentioned a candidate from Germany, whose name, however, he did not reveal. As Hołownia said, “he is not listed among the favorites.” Ultimately, the person designated by Guterres still needs to be approved by the UN General Assembly.
Hołownia will cease to be the leader of Poland by 2050. The decision has been made
It is still unclear what the future holds for Hołownia. This week, the former Speaker of the Sejm finally decided not to run again in the elections for the leader of Poland 2050. Onet reports that he is “embittered and tired of national politics.”
The 2050 elections in Poland will take place at the beginning of next year. The new leader of the party, which has so far been headed by Hołownia, will be elected by all party members.
