95 percent voted for Andrzej Duda. Do they love Charles Nawrocki the same? Checking

And while in the last parliamentary election something moved and the consequence of Jarosław Kaczyński's organization fell from 89 percent to 79 percent, leaders of another camps can only dream of specified support. In 2023 the second place — which should not be amazing — was the Confederate, who can now besides number on a good result, but on that in a moment.

He besides did not want to join the European Union. erstwhile Polish society decided on the future of our country in June 2003, 77% of the voters voted for European integration in the accession referendum. In Godzilla the consequence was besides awesome – 88% of residents of the commune opposed Poland's accession to the European Union.

Three Kings of the Right

How support for individual candidates is distributed, it is best to see, during the way from Lublin to the commune of Godzzów. While the banners of Rafał Trzaskowski can be easy seen in the suburbs of the capital of the voivodship, the further south the poster of the candidate of the Civic Coalition is definitely little or no more. The last banner of the president of Warsaw was noticed in Bychawa. There are inactive only 3 right-wing names — Karol Nawrocki, Sławomir Mentzen, and Grzegorz Braun.

Electoral banners Sławomir Mentzen and Karol Nawrocki

Karol Nawrocki is the leader of the “independent and civic” supported by the Law and Justice Office in Godzilla and close towns. Only occasionally do posters of another candidates appear. Our first interviewer will dispel the doubts about who the majority of the population will vote for.

— Charles Nawrocki, of course. Why? due to the fact that he's a real Pole, a patriot. He is simply a man who knows the past of Poland, who has respect for our heroes," emphasises Mr Wiesław, a farmer from Godzilla.

— All those who voted for Andrzej Duda earlier will support Karol Nawrocki? — I ask.

— I think so. But I besides know a fewer who like Mentzen. He's just a kid to me — I hear from Mr. Wiesław.

Because they gave it to the church

During our tour, a tiny number of electoral banners are thrown into the community's eyes. On the another hand, if individual has already decided to hang a poster of a candidate on their barrier or facade, it is frequently Karol Nawrocki.

The same is actual of the buildings of the Volunteer Fire Service in Zwidowice First and 3rd Zwidowice – on the walls was the “citizen candidate for president of Poland” Karol Nawrocki, which should not surprise anyone.

Five years ago, a week before the election, the then leadership of the Ministry of abroad Affairs promised fresh fire trucks for municipalities up to 20,000 inhabitants, who will vote in the 1st circular of presidential elections. The Lublin state was won by the municipality of Godziszów, where over 75 percent of voters went to the polls..

The president of the Institute of National Memory, supported by the Law and Justice, is besides on a barrier close the Municipal Office. There's a store right next to it, so this is where it's easiest to catch the residents.

Are you talking about the election, too? People, leave us alone — an aged female gets upset erstwhile we ask who she will vote for in May. “I am not curious in politics,” we hear, but we do not let go.

Finally, an old woman answers that she will vote for a PiS candidate, but for a long time she had problem remembering a peculiar name. erstwhile we ask why he would choose president Jarosław Kaczyński, we learn that it is about concrete help: “The money was given to the church. You go and see how good it is now.

Indeed, on the hill, above the another houses, the church of St. Teresa from Baby Jesus is superior. After a short walk we see a banner hanging on the fence, and on it: “Refurbishment of the barrier around the parish church in Godzilla”. For the task worth over PLN 238 thousand, as much as PLN 234 1000 was awarded from Polish Management.

The barrier of the church in Godzilla renovated for money from the Polish Deal

Recently, at the press conference Przemysław Czarnek clearly defended the Polish Deal as an investment project, thanks to which millions of PLN went to various localities throughout Poland. The Law and Justice will brag about it, due to the fact that giving distant to the left and the law of public money brings them favour in places like the Gods.

It's not about the programs. It's about trust.

The election run is slow coming to an end and less and less voters stay indecisive. In Godzilla, we know about how the vote will turn out. Candidates can come to large cities, give out flyers, conduct debates and make different promises, but here – as the locals say – it is not about programs. It's about trust. Who has been with us for years, who has not been ashamed of the village, and who does not talk of tradition only erstwhile it is convenient.

— This young MP is frequently here, you know, The 1 who said he was engaged in the mine. — tries to remember 1 of the inhabitants of Zdakowic. erstwhile we propose that this is about Michael Moskal, our caller smiles widely and continues: “And he is from here. He was born in Janów, he knows our problems.

This was seen in the 2023 election — Michael Moskal scored the best score for the Sejm in the Godziszów municipality. average people don't head that the CEO's pet could have violated the procedure during his engagement at the mine. The most crucial thing for them is that he is “his own”.

— I voted for Andrzej Duda, and now I will vote for Karol Nawrocki,” declared Richard. I don't request to know his full program. I know where it came from. I know what he says about Poland. That's enough. The rest? The remainder is bullshit. They only have empty promises for us.

If not Nawrocki, then Mentzen

Although the vast majority of residents are in favour of a candidate supported by the Law and Justice, any of them — and not a younger generation at all — do not so clearly indicate the candidate anointed by Kaczyński. In Godzilla, the Confederate is gaining, mainly its leader, Sławomir Mentzen.

In Zdarowice, on the bulletin board in front of the church, there was a poster announcing the visit of the Confederate leader in Janów Lubelski. Mentzen is peculiarly popular among young men, but he besides attracts to himself residents of smaller towns, who someway failed by the eight-year regulation of the Law and at the same time do not imagine supporting the current coalition.

- Mentzen speaks well, he has balls. I like his ideas on economy and taxation cuts. I hope that he will be able to prove himself as president,” emphasizes the bus driver we met at the bus halt in Godzilla.

“Trzaskowski is simply a Tusk man”

And if not Nawrocki and Mentzen, then who? In the game there is another candidate who can gain a much better consequence in the municipality than in all Poland. This is about Euro MP Grzegorz Braun, leader of the Confederation of the Polish Crown. His start in the presidential election led to a divided in the Confederacy, resulting in Braun being removed from the alliance.

Although no of our interlocutors declared that they were straight voting for the Euro MP from Podkarpacie, respective electoral banners in the municipality propose that Braun has his supporters here.

The another candidates, especially the leader of all pre-election polls — Rafał Trzaskowski, are definitely the worst. The candidate KO is perceived here as “the man of Tusk” and “the man of LGBT”.

- Leave me alone with this Trzaskowski. Did he always come here? Did he always get interested? They only know how to bargain Poland — he waved the hand of a municipality resident erstwhile we started asking why almost no 1 supports the current ruling option.

Office of the municipality in Godzilla

In 2020 there was 1 brave man who came to Godzilla — Simon Holovnia. At the time, the leader of Poland 2050 aspired to take right-wing voters from PiS in places like Godziszów. Now the situation is different — The Holovnia is the Marshal of the Sejm and belongs to the Coalition on October 15, or as the people of confederate Lublin like — the Coalition on December 13.

Why not Holovnia? Residents emphasize – here you request individual who “knows how to live in the countryside” alternatively than “makes good faces on TV”. And he is followed by a past that many find unforgivable — he worked on TVN.

– erstwhile I hear those from the PO or Holownia, I feel that they do not know where the Godzis are – says Mrs Barbara. – They think that if something works in Warsaw, it will work here. And here you gotta realize people, their needs, their lives. It's not Warsaw, it's Godzów.
