Róża Maria Countess of Thun and Hohenstein has been a member of the European Parliament since 2009. In 2021, she switched to the Polska 2050 party, which belongs to the Third Way with the Peasants’ Party.
Poland is on the verge of a change of power: The Alliance of Donald Tusk’s Civic Coalition, the Third Way and the Left has a majority in the next Sejm and can replace the PiS government. In an interview with Markus Grabitz, Polish MEP and publicist Róża Maria Gräfin von Thun und Hohenstein (Renew) explains what needs to change in Poland’s EU policy with the change of government.
Ms. Thun, how did the opposition manage to win the election even though the state media promoted PiS and the election campaign was very dirty?
