In his opinion, the decision of the National Electoral Commission “is an attempt to eliminate the only strong opposition party”. – This is nothing other than the path that Lukashenko and Putin once took – he said.
He assured that PiS “will manage”. – No one who is Polish, a patriot, can agree to this. We will fight, but at the moment we need help from society. Financial help. Of course, everything must be legal, these must be legal payments – Kaczyński emphasized.
