In this discussion, the focus isn’t on any specific program alone but on how to capture the public’s attention. The idea of running a campaign of 100 issues in 100 days was highlighted by Marek Formela, the chief editor of Gazeta Gdańska, who described it during an appearance in Salon Dziennikarski. The aim is to keep the public engaged and curious, not just to present policy in isolation. (Attribution: wPolityce)
The sense conveyed is that the operational plan and the substantive policy debate pose a substantive challenge for the Platform. If carried out in the right way, it could spark strong interest, yet there is a risk that overly aggressive tactics might overshadow the policy substance. In the Gdańsk region, for instance, a track record spanning MPs Smoliński and Cymański could translate into a robust vote tally if the lists are well balanced. The regional leader’s strong performance in the most recent election, reaching around 90,000 votes, underscores the potential for a solid local bloc. Marek Formela recalled this context as a reminder of what mobilization can achieve. (Attribution: wPolityce)
In Gdynia, the political terrain is described as having a mix of dynamics, with some factions challenging the incumbent and others rallying behind fresh voices from the right. The analysis suggests that PiS could capitalize on intra-party—or intra-region—tensions to consolidate support, aligning new candidates with a broader campaign message. This strategic reading was offered as a forecast rather than a guarantee. (Attribution: wPolityce)
Andrzej Potocki, a columnist for Sieci, added that about a quarter of voters remain undecided, a factor that can tip the balance in any tight contest. Polls at the time placed this undecided share around 30 percent, and when combined with the portion of the electorate already skeptical of PiS, a sizable segment remains persuadable. Potocki cautioned that lists alone do not win elections, but a well-ordered slate can significantly improve outcomes by focusing on clear messaging and disciplined organization.

The emerging emphasis, according to insiders, is that once electoral lists are registered, a coordinated push across online platforms and mass media becomes essential. A strong foundation in list planning has been laid, with the expectation that the information strategy will reinforce the field operation and public visibility. The idea is to align communication with concrete voting blocs and regional concerns, converting organizational strength into tangible support. (Attribution: wPolityce)
Michał Karnowski, host of Salon Dziennikarski, weighed in with a verdict that PiS’s communications strategy has shown effectiveness in the campaign so far. Drawing on conversations with experts, he noted that the party would remind voters of eight years of governance when necessary, while acknowledging that the narrative about Donald Tusk and his administration remains persistent. Karnowski’s framing reflects a belief that a consistent message can retain core supporters while attempting to widen appeal. (Attribution: wPolityce)
Dorota Łosiewicz, deputy editor of Sieci, observed that Donald Tusk has effectively been conducting an election campaign for two years, underscoring the length of the political cycle and the durability of the messaging around the opposition. The publicist added that since Tusk’s return from Brussels, there has been a fatigue among Poles tied to the ongoing discourse about PiS, suggesting that repeating familiar critiques without new content yields diminishing returns.

One aspect worth noting is the scrutiny around the PO leader’s past, including the unresolved matter of his communal apartment. The analysis called for clarifying how, after years spent in a dormitory setting, the leader ended up occupying a communal flat from which long-standing workers were removed. This question remains a point of curiosity for Gdańsk services and local journalists, illustrating how personal history can intersect with political narrative. (Attribution: wPolityce)
