Poles do not want Kamiński and Wąsik in the EP. Sceptical even PiS supporters

EP elections are just around the corner

The elections to the European Parliament were scheduled for between 6 and 9 June throughout the European Union. Poles will go to polling urns on Sunday 9 June, and the country will be divided into 13 constituencies.

According to the latest public opinion polls, the Civic Coalition has the best chance of winning with 36% support, which gives it first place. Law and Justice ranked second with a 29% score, while the 3rd Road ranked 3rd with 16% endorsement.

Maciej Wąsik and Mariusz Kamiński in interviews declared that neither the organization nor they had yet made decisions about their possible start in elections to the European Parliament. Both politicians, of course, have opportunities for candidacy, but public support stands in the way. And they are not only opponents of the Law and Justice, but besides individuals willing to vote for it.

The people have spoken. Experts too

The possible participation in the EP elections is met with the strong discontent of the majority of Poles. This is due to the latest poll of the Pollster Institute for Super Express. As many as 79% of respondents believe that Kamiński and Wąsik should not compete, while only 21% support their candidacy.

Such a social reaction can be a challenge for the party, as even any PiS sympathizers disagree with the decision to put both politicians on the electoral lists. This could lead to a possible decline in election attendance, which would in turn weaken the position of the ruling party.

According to experts, both politicians do not have a clear function in public administration, which raises doubts about their usefulness in the European Parliament. prof. Kazimierz Kik of the University of Jan Kochanowski in Kielce estimates that their possible participation in the elections could consequence in "lost voices" due to the fact that they would not bring anything affirmative to the EP.
