Law and Justice take the gloves off as Civic Platform lead increases

PiS politicians believe that Tusk 'stole' their election concept for his campaign, namely, the theme of competition between the post-Solidarity Poland with the post-communist one. Some of the PiS politicians believe that the key to improving the position of Lech Kaczyński and PiS in the opinion polls is to convince the electorate that the PO program is good only for the richest Poles and that the Civic Platform is a liberal party favoring the rich. "Tusk in particular is an orthodox liberal. The voters are not as liberal as the [Civic] Platform," declared Adam Bielan from the Law and Justice. The Law and Justice also plans to disclose its finances for the present campaign in order to make the Civic Platform do the same. This move is to show the voters that big business is spending huge amounts of money financing the Civic Platform campaign. (Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 4) E.B.
