Red beads in the commission. “We received such a notification”
One of the journalists addressed a question to the PKW regarding the situation to which it was to take place in Warsaw. – Two members of the committee sat in it with red corals associated with one of the candidates, which was eliminated after the first round of elections. Isn't that something inappropriate? he asked.
