We do not want to sink into internal disputes and conflicts,” said Magdalena Biejat at a press conference.
“There has been a rift that does no good for anyone. We wish all the best to those who want to leave the Left club (but) we believe that this is the wrong path, which will weaken the entire left, and this is not a good time,” she added.
