Rafał Trzaskowski visits Kluczbork on 28 May. It's more than 35,000 miles from Opole. Here, throughout the county, attendance in the first circular of the presidential election was 55 percent, but the erstwhile municipalities, where they barely exceeded 42 percent.
However, it was not a evidence on the scale of the Opole province. The lowest attendance was recorded in the municipality of Zębowice (41.61 percent). However, if you look at the individual localities, there were besides those where only 29-37% of voters went to the polls – with attendance of more than 67% throughout Poland.
– Rafał Trzaskowski will be in Opole with the intention of fighting for higher attendance. Keybork is virtually a stone's throw distant from Olesn. It was in Oleski County, in the municipality of Zębowice, that the lowest attendance in all Poland was. Rafał Trzaskowski will be in Kluczbork, due to the fact that it is simply a larger city and that is where we bring everyone curious in practically all the north of the voivodship. The possible there is truly big. We believe that this visit will echo with a broad echo – says the Polish MP KO Witold Zembaczyński.
Information rapidly circulated social media. "Key 'my' be wise. Shout on Sunday #Trzaskowski 2025!", "If you know individual who inactive hesitates – take him with you", "On behalf of the future president of Poland I invitation everyone. This man, who is 13 centimeters taller than Mr.Rafal, does not grow up so honestly!" – he scrolls in comments under local posts.
There's a fight going on for Opolsza. There is possible to fight for it," says the MP.
MP KO: – There will be no attendance miracle in these places
However, policing is simply a circumstantial region erstwhile it comes to elections. He's always a white spot. Whenever it comes to attendance, it falls behind another voivodships. It's not surprising. By the way, all election is almost pointed out for this.
– The answer to this legendary, low turnout in the Opole region is the lifestyle of opolans who work abroad. Opolszczyna is beautiful houses with fresh tiles and beautiful bypasses. On Saturday people sweep the sidewalks here. It looks like the West in Poland. Unfortunately, these houses are frequently empty, due to the fact that that is the cultural code in the Opole region To make it look so beautiful, residents work in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium. These people just aren't here," says Witold Zembachinski.
He emphasizes: "There will be no attendance miracle in specified places. But there is inactive a immense possible for expanding support for Rafał Trzaskowski throughout the western wall.
There too, attendance was lower than nationwide. In the Lubuskie province, it amounted to 61 percent. In the West Poland – 63 percent. In Lower Silesia – 65 percent. Everywhere, by a immense majority, the first circular was won by Rafał Trzaskowski.
"The possible is for Rafał Trzaskowski. But you gotta say honestly, besides for the second candidate"
Rafał Trzaskowski won 35 percent of the vote in the Opole Voivodeship. Karol Nawrocki 25 percent and Sławomir Mentzen 15 percent. However, in any municipalities, the results spread like this:
Rafał Trzaskowski – 33 percent.
Sławomir Mentzen – 21 percent.
Karol Nawrocki – 17 percent.
How could greater attendance change results on the scale of only this province?
– possible is for Rafał Trzaskowski. But it is fair to say, besides for the second candidate – says Tomasz Hubert Kandziora, the mayor of Reńska Village, who had the lowest attendance in the voivodship in the municipal election of 2024. Now it was almost 50 percent. The first circular was won by Rafał Trzaskowski (34 percent). Karol Nawrocki scored 21 percent and Sławomir Mentzen scored 18 percent.
The mayor besides stresses that specified mediocre attendance does not consequence from people being discouraged here and not wanting to vote. – It follows that we have a false image of demography in the administrative territory of Opole. It's not like these people didn't go to vote. They are simply not physically there due to the fact that they have gone abroad – says Tomasz Kandziora.
It is about districts mainly in the east of the voivodship.
– We have "inflated" electoral records of people who temporarily or permanently live abroad. any of them come to Poland erstwhile all 2 weeks or erstwhile a month, but for most of the year they are not here. And any of them haven't been here in a fewer years, they didn't just take out the report. I estimation that during the first circular of presidential elections there were about 10-15 percent of residents in Poland. But any of us have obtained a ballot to vote outside of our home. We spent about 200. However, their voices abroad do not number on our attendance – says the mayor.
Nevertheless, he believes that there is possible to scope fresh voters.
– any people are discouraged from politics. They think, "I'm not going to vote due to the fact that I don't have anyone to vote for, so I'm not going to vote for." any people don't like to get active in different civilian matters at all, and I don't know how to try, and they won't go to elections anyway. I know people who won't go to elections due to the fact that they say they're not interested," she says.
They so encouraged the people to take part in the elections through the first round. – Now we do it too, mainly from social media. A fewer days before the second circular we will besides encourage the vote and remind us where to vote – says the mayor Tomasz Kandziora.
Who has a better chance? I think you're Rafal. That's tough. I don't know.
A resident of Oleski region wonders how many people will go to Kluczbork for a rally with Trzaskowski. Here the PO candidate won 25 percent of the votes in the first round, the second was Sławomir Mentzen (23 percent), Karol Nawrockithirds (17 percent).
We have more people working abroad than they are. My husband, too. And no 1 will give him a break so he can come to the elections in Poland, and the election place abroad is 300 km. But the possible to fight for fresh voters is. And we encourage how we can, that people go and vote – he says.
Who in the country has the best chance?
I think it's Rafal Trzaskowski. I think you do, Mr. Rafał. I think if he could convince more people, he could get more votes from us. But on the another hand, I don't know what the voters will do to Mr Mentzen, due to the fact that I hear they'll vote for Nawrocki. It's tough. There's no telling how to bite it. I truly don't know what will happen on June 1st – he answers.
She just can't believe you don't go to the election. – Everyone should know that erstwhile he was 18, he went to elections. There can be no specified reasoning that, "I don't care," "I don't put my hand on it" – he resents it.
"We scope the young," "Ask artificial intelligence"
How can Rafał Trzaskowski, his staff and supporters scope specified people? How can they exploit the tremendous possible of the Western wall?
– We just did an action in which young people from KO gave out to anyone who wanted to and who gave their address, banners of Rafał Trzaskowski. In Opole we have 1,200 localities and all banner that goes there will remind us that it is worth voting for. We focus on social media activity. We scope young people with the offer, says Mr Zembaczyński.
He says that on Wednesday, the legislature will consider and adopt without amendment his bill "Clear earnings", addressed to all young people in Poland. This means that in each occupation announcement there will be information on the amount of remuneration.
Sam asks young people to ask the question of artificial intelligence. As a young Pole, talk to her. Ask questions about what's crucial to you. Artificial intelligence does not participate in the election campaign, no emotion. She's judging the source. If a young individual present hesitates and does not know who to believe, let him do the work. Let him ask, "Will I, as a young Pole, live in an honest country, 1 that respects women's rights if Nawrocki/Trzaskowski wins?" – he encourages.
It should sound even more on the last line what Poland is waiting for, erstwhile Nawrocki wins. If he wins, there will be a permanent war upstairs. We will not solve post-Pist issues, from human rights to Polish Łada. We're not reforming the taxation system. We will not accomplish all the goals that are pro-development. And the only function of Nawrocki will be the devastation of our ruling camp," the MP emphasises.
It is besides necessary, as he points out, to scope voters who expected more in 2023.
Witold Zembaczyński: – That's why the words "I'm sorry" and "please". It must be said that if Rafał Trzaskowski becomes president, this is the second component of the 2023 victory. That's erstwhile we asked everyone to vote. But we didn't say the second step was to win the presidential election. With this, we request to scope out to our voters to show that everything that was promised is feasible if there is simply a progressive president, connecting, signing the laws. So far without the president's signature, this could not have been implemented.
And all vote counts in the Opole region.
