The debate will be led by Katarzyna Gójska and Michał Adamczyk. However, their function is limited due to the fact that the fresh expression assumes 4 rounds in which candidates for president of the Polish Republic will answer questions of 3 experts from different fields.
Each of them is to ask 1 question after another, though – as Gójska emphasized in a conversation with Virtualemedia.pl – "some questions are a small more elaborate, so it can be said that in 1 question there will be two".
In addition, candidates will be able to ask each another 3 questions, just as they did in the erstwhile debate. In addition to Rafał Brzoski, the experts included prof. Ryszard Piotrowski, constitutionalist, and Łukasz Jankowski, president of the General Medical Chamber. They're the ones who'll be interviewing the candidates.
