Polish former President Lech Walęsa is intending to announce the creation of a new political formation in Poland on October 21, the day of parliamentary elections – if the current ruling party is still in power.

According to the Rzeczpospolita daily, the new initiative is to gather people of Christian and democratic views and that the former president will only be its public face - the driving force will in fact be his son, Jarosław.

Lech Wałęsa partially confirmed this information on Saturday in a interview radio, saying that if the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) wins this year’s ballot, he will engage in the creation of a new political formation.

Jarosław Wałęsa is currently an MP of the opposition Civic Platform. When asked about his father’s idea said: “It is hard to keep up with my father, as he has thousands of ideas. But I do not think that my father is intending to establish a political party. Perhaps it will be a kind of a social movement.”

Another opinion poll puts Law and Justice in the lead. The poll by SMG states that 34 percent of respondents give their support to Law and Justice with 33 percent saying they will support the opposition Civic Platform.

The Left and Democratic alliance gets 12 percent support. Andzjej Lepper’s Self defense party was on 5 percent.
