Parties under starters orders for elections to European Parliament

Those who have not done so have little time left, as the deadline expires today at 16:15 pm. The Polish Peasants Party (PSL) announced their electoral lists on Saturday. They want to start their campaign by mid-May. Self-Defense will campaign under the slogan, "Chose the white-and-red" (a reference to the color of the deputies' ties). Party leader Andrzej Lepper, does not want to reveal the names of the candidates, as he is afraid they will be discriminated in the media. He also admitted that Self-Defense treats these elections only as a "warm-up" before the national general election. (Gazeta Wyborcza, pp. 4,5) A.F.
