The article delves into the current distress within the Poland 2050 political movement, highlighting a discussion on the factors that led to its mid-term crisis. Dr. Cezary Pakulski, a former party member and participant in its programmatic work for four years, voices his insights on the situation. He reflects on the disappointing results of the recent presidential elections, where Szymon Hołownia garnered only 4.99% of the votes in the first round, a significant drop from his previous performances.

In the 2020 presidential election, Hołownia achieved nearly 14% of the votes, and just a year earlier, he led the electoral committee Third Way Poland 2050-PSL to a commendable 14.4% in the parliamentary elections. His drastic decrease in support during his latest presidential run raises alarms within the party and prompts questions about the strategies employed. The article suggests that various changes and challenges facing the party could have contributed to this unexpected drop in public support.

Dr. Pakulski's critique highlights a broader concern that the party’s direction may not resonate with its base anymore, emphasizing the need for internal reflection and potential rebranding. As Poland 2050 navigates through this crisis, understanding the reasons behind the electoral setback is crucial if it aims to regain its footing in the political landscape and reconnect with voters who once supported its vision.
