Citizen coalition in euphoria. All because of the results in the primaries in Wieruszów. The leader of the formation, Donald Tusk, cools the emotions of his people.
The primaries were organized in Wieruszów for the third time; they were first held in 1997 and then in 2019. A city located on the southwestern edge of the province. Łódź is presented as “Poland in a nutshell”, because the results of the primaries held there so far would be comparable to the results that appeared later in the parliamentary elections.
On Sunday, Wieruszów residents voted for individual parties, not specific politicians. There was no electoral lull, so several parties set up their stands near the community center where the vote took place – from the Confederation to the Left and the Civic Coalition. However, the United Right has not decided on this form of agitation.
An explosion of joy in KO
After the “results” were announced, the Citizens’ Coalition fell into euphoria. This rather specific vote brought her first place. The results are as follows:
KO – 34.08 percent
PiS – 32.32 percent
Third Way – 11.94 percent
Confederation – 6.64 percent
Left – 6.35 percent
Workers of nonpartisan local governments – 3.51 percent
Interestingly enough, the turnout was only… 19.27 percent. Wieruszów has about 14,000 inhabitants.
Almost every KO politician shared the results on their social media and wanted to believe that the same thing would happen on October 15 during the real elections.
“A sign of hope, not a guarantee of victory
He even spoke himself PO leader Donald Tuskwho cools the emotions of his people a little.
Are you happy that you won the primaries in Wieruszów? From now on, for a month, you will work twice as hard, hit twice as hard and love your constituents even more. Because this victory is a sign of hope, not a guarantee of victory. Everything is in our hands!
— he wrote on Twitter (X).
At the same time, two PiS politicians insulted the PO leader.
And you keep talking to people in submission mode? You work twice as much – YES until the age of 67 for PLN 5 per hour and then PLN 3 of indexation to the desired pension. Stop going
– said MEP Bogdan Rzońca.
You love your voters for a month” And then their retirement age goes up. The entire platform!
– said PiS MP Radosław Fogiel.
Political scientist: “A lot of emotions”
Is Wieruszów really the electoral ‘Poland in a nutshell’? Political scientist Marcin Palade, a well-known poll analyst who once organized primaries in this municipality, doubts this.
I approach the results of today’s primaries without emotion. Not only because Wieruszów has been higher and lower in the 5% pool for more than three years. the most representative municipalities in Poland. But mainly because I think back to 1997 and 2019, so to the primaries that I co-organized in this municipality. The first time, the outcome of the primaries differed significantly from the outcome of the subsequent elections across the country (SLD won in Wieruszów, AWS in Poland). The second time the result was similar and the order on the stage in Wieruszów and in the elections was the same. What will it be like this time? There are already people who know. I’m waiting for October 15th
– he said on Twitter (X).
At the same time, the analyst showed the TOP 10 of electoral “Poland in a nutshell” (according to the consistency of the voting results of 1990-2020 with the nationwide results), according to which list Wieruszów was placed in 74th place.
The platform was delighted with the joy at the primaries from Wieruszów. A brief moment of joy? The real test is on October 15.
– QUESTIONNAIRE. PiS in the lead, losses for the Civic Coalition and Confederation. What would the distribution of seats in the Sejm look like?
– QUESTIONNAIRE. KO only gets 18%. support! “Disturbing news for the Third Way.” PiS is a strong favorite in the election race
