PiS candidate charged by own party with breaking election regulations

The election committee of Law and Justice (PiS) plans to provide the prosecu tor with evidence against one of its own candidates, party leader Ludwik Dorn said yesterday. Pawel Poncyliusz, a PiS candidate from Warsaw, is accused of breaking election regulations by hanging his posters in prohibited places, such as from street signs. According to Dorn, the leaders of the PiS asked Poncyliusz to remove the "illegally hung posters" within 24 hours, but he failed to do so. Since the election lists have already been registered, Poncyliusz can still stand as a PiS candidate. Explaining his actions, he said, "I feel guilty. As a young, ambitious person I wanted to start the campaign dynamically." (Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 5) P.W.
