“Elections” Ghost “in the fog of legal absurdity” – that describe this in Poland the situation of the European media. It all started with the desire of politicians of the ruling party “law and justice” at any cost to hold a vote in may, when the current President Andrzej Duda had all the chances to win in the first round. Pandemic coronavirus has left them with only one possibility – elections by mail. But the opposition candidates which have not had the opportunity to conduct a proper election campaign, did everything to delay the vote. Her work appropriate amendments to the electoral code were adopted in just four days prior to the date of the election – may 10. Prepare for the first in the country’s history vote by mail in the mode of the epidemic in such a short time was impossible. But for the sake of re-election Duda authorities were ready for anything. They were stopped only that the ruling coalition partners broke away from the party “Consent”.

the news Agency AFP reported that “member of the European Union Poland has a population of 38 million people was in a very strange position when the presidential election is formally cannot be rescheduled or cancelled, due to the fact that the government and the opposition are unable to agree on an appropriate Constitution and a safe way out”. Friday night on the local TV channel TVP held a debate of all presidential candidates. At this time, a simple Polish deputies – leaders of parties “law and justice” and “Consent” Jaroslaw Kaczynski and Jaroslaw Gowing decided the fate of the country and those who debated, including the incumbent President. Yaroslav the two agreed to cancel the elections no one will, and on 10 may the authorities simply will not open polling stations. After that, voting can be recognized invalid, and the speaker of the Sejm will appoint new date of elections. We will remind that powers of Andrzej Duda expire in August.

I Wonder what time the elections will be appointed again, and candidates would have to put his candidacy. It’s unclear whether they will be the epidemic of the coronavirus again to collect 100 thousand signatures for nomination. But it is clear that, if there are new applicants, they will also have to register. This means that the already printed to 10 may about 30 million ballots will become waste paper. “But envelopes useful” – rejoice in the ruling party, hinting that the new elections could be held by mail. Monday Jaroslav Gowing told the newspaper Gazeta Prawna that, most likely, elections will be scheduled for the end of June or beginning of July. According to him, it is possible that they will be mixed – those who do not want to go to the polling station, can vote by mail if notify in advance. But impossible to say for sureand. The head of the party “Consent” believes “in comparison c of the Polish policy in the TV series “house of cards” is boring”. And indeed, the fun ahead.
