#poland elections

I love how USA falling into fascism made THE WHOLE WORLD to stop and reconsider what the fuck we were doing.

Canada has UNEXPECTEDLY elected Carney, a Liberal party representative. Both Germany and Australia moved A LOT from the right.

And now, my Romanian brethren have choosen the Nicusor Dan, pro-european, pro-democratic leader!

He was fighting a tight race with George Simion, ultra-right "Romanian Trump", as he called himself. Even tho both russia and USA tried to sway election in his benefit, they couldn't turn the tide.

Now the next fight will be fought for the future of Poland. Very conservative in the past, now a liberal-centrist leads in a first round of vote.

Rafał Trzaskowski pledges support to European Union and wants to reinforce the rule of Law, undermined by PiS efforts. He also supports LGBTQ+ rights and freedom of abortion.

His opponent, Karol Nawrocki is a trump-style hard-right populist, whose talking points are pretty much a copy of trump's. Fortunately, this one is not pro-russian, but since the trump is... yeah. He is at odds with European Union, Green movements, against abortion and LGBTQ+ rights and has said pretty wild stuff about almost every neighboring country.

The fight will be hard, since not only he has won ~30% of votes in the first round, other far-right candidates accumulated about 21% of votes, mostly from young men.

Hopefully, Poland will continue the trend of saying FUCK YOU to trump and his allies. Keep fighting, my friends!

there are late polls (not actual results yet) available now.

pis - stays the same

ko - 1 seat more (this is probably good)

the left - 3 seats more (this is also good)

psl + kukiz - 4 seats less (this is not so good)

konfederacja - stays the same

to sum up - more or less things stay the same, since the best outcome we could hope for is ko, the left and psl to form the coalition government. I prefer the left over ko or psl, but it’s hard to say without knowing who actually got the seats, since non partisan candidates starting from ko or psl lists are preferable to some old sld commies.

Poland’s conservative President wins another term

[ad_1]

Polish President Andrzej Duda has won five more years in power on a socially conservative, religious platform in a closely fought election that is likely to deepen Warsaw’s isolation in the European Union (EU).

Nearly final results from Sunday’s presidential election run-off showed Mr. Duda, 48, on over 51%, giving him an unassailable lead over liberal Warsaw Mayor Rafal Trzaskowski, who…
