— For now, I have 2 candidates: the president of Warsaw and the talker of the Sejm. I like the hoard, I like his speeches and he would do a lot for Poland and Białystok – Nina thought that the candidate from Białystok would have more support. In fresh polls, it usually takes 4th place.

The ladies mention the characteristics of the President, who already has the Holovnia: he listens to people, he can discuss with people, he does not run distant from problems, he is calm and diplomatic.

There are entrepreneurs who run customs agencies at closed Polish-Belarusian border crossing points.

“I eat with spoons”

Anna is simply a past teacher at a advanced school in Białystok and has been voting for the Hołównia from the beginning.

She came with her husband Thomas to convince him to vote for her idol. The husband is not convinced yet, he gives himself until May 18. “ The second circular will be due to the fact that there is no candidate to appear immediately with over half of the voter’s support,” says Anna. “The others are strong, Mentzen entered the game hard, and as the marshal said, a very suspicious 1 is campaigning. I always choose the center due to the fact that all utmost and extremist views are very dangerous — he points out.

Grzegorz has been coming to meetings with the Holovnia for 5 years. He agrees with him in 95 percent, and of all politicians he knows, he is closest to a candidate from Białystok. I haven't failed yet. The chances are medium, due to the fact that the Polish promiser of golden mountains came, and so it came to Simon, as Gregory predicted.

— What is crucial to us is that he does not promise pears on the willow, he simply says that not everything can be done, he talks to everyone, he does not run distant from different questions, he admits a matrimony that has been declared by respective years already supporting the Holnia. His chances are judged carefully, and the rescue sees in action "more Simon" and more meetings.

Young people want to see the Hollow.

While the older voters are determined or almost declared and have had circumstantial political views for years, we besides ask young people about their election preferences and motivations to come to meet with the presidential candidate.

— I'm here due to the fact that I gave myself a challenge to be at each candidate's meetings. Unfortunately, we managed to get to a gathering with Adrian Zandberg – Patrick is curious in politics, feels emotions at specified meetings, and here he wants to get to know the Holownia program. In May, however, he will not be able to vote due to the fact that he is only 16 years old.

Selfie with a presidential candidate

Three colleagues are waiting for a photograph with the head of Poland 2050 in a rather long queue. They're students from Białystok.

The same intent of the visit was for Damian. Although he successively learns the views of all the candidates, there is no certainty that he will vote for Holownia. He's inactive wondering. “I appreciate the marshal for how he operates in the Sejm, how he conducts his deliberations, but he is not helped by the scandals in the coalition government, the most connected with the companies of the Treasury, which were to be cleared, and only exchanged people on the stools,” says the teenager.

The second Damian after the gathering does not feel full convinced by candidate 3rd Way. “It is inactive in orbit of my political views, but it is inactive not the candidate. I'm declared Adrian Zandberg. Mr. Holovnia is the second option, although he inactive has time — the boy adds that everything is ahead of us.

The youngest: This place is so boring

Basia learns at a post-secondary school. Hubert studies pedagogy. They came to the gathering out of curiosity, separately, but with their friends and met here.

— I am curious to see how candidates present themselves in the campaign, how they will speak, whether they will compare themselves to their counter-candidates and insult each another — Basia checks whether the aspiring president calls people, or against people to argue against them. “I was amazed here due to the fact that there is no screaming, no aggression, no guilt shifting, no mistake pointing.

Basia and Hubert came to see and perceive to Simon Holownia

Hubert came to the gathering with a fear that "there would be a riot", after what happened in Bielsk Podlaski, where Poland's 2050 candidate repelled attacks of dissatisfied voters and supporters of another political parties. “Simon Holovnia is definitely my only candidate. What truly appeals to me is that he is an open man and wants to work with his heart for mankind — that is how the boy motivates his choice.

A teenager younger than them who sat in the back of the area was no longer so enthusiastic: “It’s so boring here. I don't like people talking and talking like that all the time. It's so annoying. A girl came with her parents. At the end of the meeting, she came to selfie with a candidate.

During this meeting, Holownia spoke of his countercandidates to the palace. Sławomir Mentzen of the Confederacy called "a provocateur with zero experience". He estimated that Charles Nawrocki, supported by the Law and Justice, would be blocking and vetoing everything as president. He felt that if the election was won by Rafał Trzaskowski KO candidate, then both the president and the Prime Minister, as well as the talker of the Sejm, would be with the PO, which resulted in the next parliamentary election winning the Law and Justice with the Confederate, who would "ord and lead us to the East".
