Parties weight up the EU election results and begin to reshuffle posts

Political parties are in the process of drawing conclusions from the results of the elections to the European Parliament. The Civic Platform (PO) expect their secretary general, Paweł Piskorski, to resign from the post because of his bad result in the elections. Although Piskorski still won a seat in the European Parliament, he received less votes in Warsaw where he was a mayor, than the candidates from the Freedom Union (UW) and Law and Justice (PiS). The PO also has a problem with finding candidates to take the Sejm seat of Janusz Lewandowski who will also go to Strasburg. The most significant changes will take place in the Polish Peasants' Party (PSL), since its leader, Janusz Wojciechowski and both deputy leaders, will represent Poland in the European Parliament. Nevertheless, Wojciechowski stated that he is going to reconcile both functions. Meanwhile, PSL chose Waldemar Pawlak, a former prime minister, to be the head of its Parliamentary club.
