In Agata Czarnacka's Short and OnThematics, she assessed why Rafał Trzaskowski lost the presidential election. Let us remind: in the Sunday vote candidate of the Civic Coalition won a percent of 49.11 votes, and supported by the Law and Justice Karol Nawrocki gained 50.89 percent support.
Why Rafał Trzaskowski lost the presidential election – "Shortly and on Topic" says Agata Czarnacka
The turnout in the Sunday vote was 71.63 percent. So it was very high, but lower than in 2023, erstwhile in parliamentary elections Poles removed the Law and Justice from power. At that time, 74.38 percent of the eligible people went to the polling stations. If the public had repeated or surpassed this evidence consequence on 1 June, Rafał Trzaskowski would most likely be President.
However – as Agata Czarnacka says – many people who 2 years earlier gave the Coalition a triumph on October 15, this time stayed home. They were discouraged by the insignificance of the government with which they had advanced hopes.
– In February, at the beginning of the presidential campaign, I spoke at the Women's Congress
In Brussels, where there was an MP Jolanta Niezgodka, that the government lacks about 1.5 million votes to win the presidential election, reports Czarnacka.
Who didn't go to the 2025 presidential election
Agata Czarnacka points out that the candidate of the Civic Coalition lacked the votes of respective groups of voters.
– It is about the voices of the left, young people, queer people – the writer writes. – These are (for example) people who want to register, formalize their relationships, but inactive cannot do so (number 46 on the list of 100 concretes for the first 100 days of government).
Black says that as PiS wanted the presidential election changed
in a plebiscite on government, and any voters feel so discouraged about it that they did not even vote.
– Unfortunately, I was right. Although the attendance was very high, quite a few young people said that they would not give their voice to the government or Rafał Trzaskowski – points to the podcast's guest home on Temat.
Black: It's a red card for the Coalition government on October 15
The balance of government after a year and a half of power is very bad for him – Blackack estimates. – (The consequence of the presidential election) is simply a red card for the Coalition on October 15 – says the philosopher in the podcast "Shortly and on the Theme".
– The coalition was very disappointed in issues that truly cost nothing, and would make life easier for many people. They would make them feel (in Poland) like in their own country, not like in individual else's – she evaluates the conversationalist on the subject.
