With just days left to Euro elections, the parties begin to woo the voters

With elections to the European Parliament just days away, political parties have begun to speed up their election campaigns. The Civic Platform's (PO) TV spots feature the famous opera singer Marek Torzewski. Party leader Donald Tusk promises to fight for a fair state with a dynamic economy and low taxes, and for equal treatment of Polish farmers and entrepreneurs with their EU counterparts. Polish Social Democracy's (SDPL) program is quite similar to the Platform's, the main difference being that the SDPL is fighting to keep the European Social Fund. The Democratic Left Alliance (SLD) has based its campaign on support for regional development and job creation. Law and Justice (PiS) has included Christian values in its program, and promised that it will seek to renegotiate Poland's unfavorable accession terms. All party leaders spent their weekend traveling around the country trying to convince voters to vote for their lists. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A4; Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 7) D.W.
