20:19
The idea of holding a postal election in Poland and the confusion associated with it attracts the attention of global media. The plan to hold elections in Poland during the coronavirus epidemic was noticed by one of the major news agencies in the world. Bloomberg quotes resigning from the position of the first president of the Supreme Court prof. Małgorzata Gersdorf, who calls the idea "a mockery of free and fair elections".
"It is only a few weeks until the election, and it is still unclear whether they will be held on time or will be postponed, as demanded by the opposition and some representatives of the ruling coalition," Bloomberg wrote about the dispute over holding presidential elections scheduled for May 10.
Reporting the pressure by the ruling party to be elected on the scheduled date, the agency notes that PiS's determination "reinforced the fear of nationalists using the coronavirus to eliminate its fuses from the democratic system."
