angora24.pl 1 week ago

Adam Bodnar informed through platform X of the initiation of six preparatory proceedings by territory prosecutors in connection with possible electoral irregularities. The investigation concerns events from Włocławek, Jelenia Góra, Opole, Bielsko-Biala, Krakow and Katowice.

On Tuesday, Bodnar referred to the number of regional electoral commissions in which the votes are to be recalculated in connection with the electoral protests submitted.

We are at this phase that we are preparing very professionally to request the conversion of votes in those committees for which statistical anomalies have been shown – He passed on and added – We know perfectly well that this is not just the twelve committees on which this has already been calculated, but that these anomalies concern much more committees. I do not yet know precisely what it will be – whether it will be 800 or 1000 commissions – but in general we would like to submit specified a proposal. We'll see how the Extraordinary Control Chamber reacts to this.

Over 10,000 electoral protests

The ultimate Court press squad reported that the first 3 protests against the President's election were considered legitimate. However, they did not affect the final result of the elections.

The number of registered protests has so far exceeded 10.5 thousand, but many of them are joined together and dealt with jointly in 1 case. After examining all protests and on the basis of the study of the State Electoral Commission, the ultimate Court, in the full composition of the home of Extraordinary Control and Public Affairs, shall adopt a resolution on the validity of the presidential elections. This decision shall be taken at an open sitting within 30 days of the authoritative election results being announced. This means that a final decision should be taken by 2 July at the latest.

Fake elections?

The first president of the ultimate Court, Małgorzata Manowska, in an interview with RMF FM, assured that the ultimate Court would be able to process all the electoral protests within the prescribed time limit, unless exceptional circumstances arose.

Margaret Manowska besides referred to the statements of Roman Giertych, a politician of the Civic Platform, who publically suggested that the presidential elections could have been falsified. The president of the ultimate Court assessed that specified statements should be viewed as political declarations alternatively than based on concrete evidence.

This should be treated more in a political category than in fact. I'd be more sparing in words here. She said.

Change of vote

On Saturday, the lawyer General, Anna Adamiak, reported that 7 of the 10 regional electoral commissions had switched votes between candidates. She explained that the prosecutor was acquainted with the protocols for recalculation of ballot cards in the ultimate Court and that 7 committees found misallocation of votes, which resulted in the designation that in these circuits more votes were won by Karol Nawrocki.
