PiS-PO use tough words to rally their faithful

"We are entering a great battle," PO leader Donald Tusk told his party's supporters. "We shall win, the Forth Republic will win," replied Jarosław Kaczyński. Both leaders repetitively used expressions such as "betrayed twice", "lies, lies, lies", "pathological coalition". As opposed to PiS' convention, the PO rally looked shabby and  poorly attended. Tusk commented on PiS' convention, as "a bankrupt party is making yet another propaganda show." He also accused PiS politicians of being corrupted by power and for whom power has become an end initself. He was booed by the supporters of PiS who gathered in Gdańsk's Olivia Hall. Prime Minister Kaczyński focused on presenting the achievements of his government and stressed the achievements of Zbigniew Ziobro, as well as Zbigniew Religa and Zyta Gilowska who are not member of the party. Experts are sure that these words were just the beginning of a fierce election campaign, which will only get more brutal. (Rzeczpospolita, pp. A1, A4) M.M.
