Parliamentary elections will be held in Poland in October. At the start of the election campaign, the ruling party PiS resumed its anti-German slogans. Opposition leader Donald Tusk is once again accused of acting on behalf of the neighboring country.
At the start of the election campaign in Poland, the national-conservative governing party PiS intensified its anti-German tones. At the same time as the parliamentary elections on October 15, the Poles are to decide on four questions in a referendum. The first of these questions will be: “Do you support the sell-off of state-owned companies?” As PiS boss Jaroslaw Kaczynski announced in a video clip.
“The Germans want to embed Donald Tusk in Poland to privatize and sell Polish assets,” he said. Former Polish Prime Minister and former EU Council President Tusk is the leader of Poland’s largest opposition party, the liberal-conservative Civic Platform. The PiS has long attacked the native of Gdańsk with the insinuation that he was acting on behalf of Germany.
The government in Warsaw had originally announced that it wanted the population to vote on European migration policy in a referendum parallel to the parliamentary elections. The PiS wants to announce the remaining questions for the referendum in the upcoming questions.
