Confusion around the presidential debate
In the end, Dorota Wysocka–Schnepf will lead the debate on 12 May. The order of the candidates' statements is besides widely commented on. The attention of users on the network was drawn by the fact that Rafał Trzaskowski will talk as the last 3 times – during both rounds of common questions and during free speech.
Therefore, any opposition politicians suggested that manipulation may have occurred during the draw. The situation was addressed by the chief of staff of Trzaskovsky, Wioletta Paprocka-Ślusarska.
"To all those describing conspiracy theories of today's debate: the drawing of the order of answers to questions and free speech at the end was in the presence of the staffs and it was the representatives of the staff who drew the draw," she said.
Radomir Wit and Piotr Witwicki besides commented on the situation. "It's a draw protocol. And the signatures of the staff. Committees were drawn in front of another committees," wrote TVN writer on platform X, adding a photograph from the protocol.
Witwicki in a separate post added that "no 1 had raised objections".
