PO-PSL coalition to rule in 15 voivodships
11:02
The ruling parliamentary coalition of Civic Platform (PO) and Polish People’s Party (PSL) will have majority in 15 out of 16 voivodship councils and will form coalitions in them as well. The only voivodship where the Law and Justice (PiS) has the majority of seats is Podkarpackie.
“We will expand our coalition, which has been working for seven years now [in the parliament] onto the local scene,” Polish PM Ewa Kopacz said.
Kopacz also commented on the Law and Justice leader Jarosław Kaczyński statement claiming that the elections were rigged. “Questioning the Polish democracy is questioning the Polish state. Undermining our democracy is very harmful to our nation,” Kopacz responded to the accusations.
