The difference is in tenths.
Warsaw. Polish Presidential elections They are expected to be very tight. According to EXIT, Polla Ipsos, published after the constituency of polling stations, will be the winner of the candidate of the government civic platform and Warsaw Mayor Rafal Trzaskowski.
His lead over the opposition Conservative Party candidate Law and Justice (PiS) Karol Nawrocký, however, is very tight – Trzaskowski has 50.3 percent of the votes, Nawrocki 49.7 percent.
The second exit poll for conservative television Republic shows that the difference can be even tighter – Trzaskowski has 50.17 percent of the vote, Nawrocki 49.83 percent.
The Polish media point out that it is necessary to wait for official results, as the difference in Exit Polls is extremely tight.
Nevertheless, Trzaskowski talked about victory in his staff and thanked the voters and supporters for support.
“I will President All polka and Poles, ”he said, adding that he was sorry that the campaign ended, because he considers the interviews he had led with people across the country.
« I promise you not to disappoint you, » he concluded, and the voters of his opponent bequeathed that he will also be their president.
Tusk needs the president
Although the President has a representative function in Poland and plays an important role, especially in foreign and defense policy, as in Slovakia it can veto the laws approved by parliament. The veto then Parliament can only break the three -fifths majority, but Donald Tusk not.
This is one of the reasons why he has not yet succeeded in enforcing several promised reforms – because several changes the ending President for PiS Andrzej Duda vetoed or advanced to Constitutional Court. Thus, the Tusk government could not enforce the reform of the judiciary, which was dominated by the most PIS-U nominees, and which is also criticized by the European Union, to dismiss the harsh abortion laws, or to solve the complicated situation regarding the public service media.
« Without the friendly president, the whole process of renewal of the independence of the Polish courts and the remedy of the judiciary will stop. There are other areas in which the Duda has been effectively blocked by the ruling coalition, such as nominations for ambassadors, LGBT rights+ people or abortion, » says Jakub Jaraczewski.
