LPR in jubilant mood and sets its sights on Sejm following EU election

Following the unexpectedly high support for the Polish Families League (LPR) in the elections to the European Parliament, which surprised even party members, LPR leader, Roman Giertych is preparing to fight for more. "Now our main rival is the Civic Platform (PO). We want to prepare an alternative, which will be better for Poles than the liberal program. Our aim is to form a national-conservative government," announced Roman Giertych. LPR leaders are counting on even stronger support from the public in the next general election to the Sejm. "During the whole campaign we had problems to convince the public to go out and vote for us, as a year ago we were against joining the European Union. We will not have to face such a problem with elections to the Sejm," added Giertych. (Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 4) A.K.
