PiS needs early elections to save it from massive fines

As soon as this announcement was made Self-Defense threatened to submit a motion to declare the ruling party illegal, while representatives of the League of Polish Families (LPR) claimed that PiS, having learnt of this, began trying to force early general elections. The State Election Commission accused PiS of accepting donations from companies and foreigners, which according to electorate law is illegal. Currently the only way PiS can be saved from paying fines worth millions of złoty is a verdict from the Supreme Court or early parliamentary elections. If the elections take place in two years, as in accordance with the Constitution, PiS would lose zł.48 million of subsidies from the state budget, while SLD would lose zł.25 million.
