  • Powerful Polish governing party leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski said Wednesday he wanted the postponed presidential election held at the end of June at the latest. The vote had been scheduled to take place on May 10 but the EU member pushed it back at the eleventh hour because of a political crisis set off by the coronavirus pandemic. The governing conservatives and the liberal opposition had been unable to agree on a plan for the ballot, which had been mired in issues ranging from health and practical concerns to constitutional and democracy questions. "June 28 is the last possible date" for the presidential election that would be in line with the Constitution, Kaczynski told reporters. The head of the governing right-wing Law and Justice (PiS) party, who does not hold any government position, is widely considered to be the politician pulling all of the strings since the conservatives came to power in 2015. The opposition parties disagree with Kaczynski, believing instead that the first possible election date in accordance with the Constitution would be August 6, when the current head of state's five-year term is up. President Andrzej Duda, who is a close ally of the PiS, had been the hands-down frontrunner in the election but appears to be losing support and according to opinion surveys could even lose in the run-off to liberal candidate and current Warsaw mayor Rafal Trzaskowski. Based on an electoral commission resolution, the speaker of parliament -- PiS member Elzbieta Witek -- must set the presidential date. She has yet to do so. The electoral crisis has only fuelled longstanding concerns at home and abroad, including from the European Union, regarding democracy and the rule of law in Poland. sw-amj/pma
