Elections to be held on October 21 as Sejm dissolves

Even though the Prime Minister has not come to the Sejm to defend his own government and its achievements, roughly 20% of the nation believe that Jarosław Kaczyński is the best candidate for the next PM, according to a poll by Gfk Polonia. Despite that, the opposition claimed that it was high time to move Law and Justice (PiS) from power, Jacek Kurski from PiS claimed that the Civic Platform (PO) will lose the elections for the third time in a row. "We do not dismiss. We simply announce the following elections and we shall win it," said Kurski. On Friday night the PM dismissed all ministers who were facing a no-confidence vote lodged by the PO, but shortly afterwards he appointed them as secretaries of the state. The PM appointed Anna Fotyga, Foreign Affairs Minister, and Jerzy Polaczek,  the Transport Minister, back into their posts late on Friday and announced he would reappoint all other ministers. "The Prime Minister violated the constitution, by reappointing the same persons. He uplifted a rule of Parliamentary control. [The president also violated constitution], as the top-ranked guard of the constitution he approved illegal practice proposed by the PM," said Professor Andrzej Rzepliński who presented his opinion upon a request of Jan Rokita from PO.
