SLD begins "entertaining" EU election campaign

The SLD-UP opened their campaign with "election picnics" in Włodawa and Gubin. The coalition's idea for the campaign is to keep ideology to a minimum and entertainment to the maximum. During one of the election meetings, Sejm Speaker Józef Oleksy said that the government and the European Union have to create a common plan to development of the Eastern part of Poland. Meanwhile, the SDPL inaugurated its campaign in the Warsaw National Library with its election slogan of "Let's make use of the European chance." SDPL candidates intend to primarily focus on fighting unemployment and corruption. However, the chances of the left in the election do not appear that good, with opinion polls showing that they will be lucky if they can cross the 5% threshold and return any deputies at all.
