The leaders of the opposition parties met on Tuesday evening in Warsaw. After the meeting, Czarzasty said that "things are moving forward, but still a few details need to be refined". This is expected to be done at further meetings.

Czarzasty said the atmosphere of the meeting had been good.

Particular names were mentioned during the talks in the context of the Senate, but the leaders all agreed not to reveal details to the media.

The leaders of PO, SLD and PSL have already met to discuss the Senate in the late October.

The opposition managed to narrowly win majority of seats in the Polish upper house of the parliament. The ruling Law and Justice party (PiS) won 48 of 100 seats, the same amount as three opposition parties combined. The majority was decided thanks to 3 independent senators that are broadly supportive.
