To leaders, parliamentarians and members of democratic political parties
We call on you to make a broad camp of democratic and regulation of law Poland, which will effectively halt the demolition of the regulation of law and its institutions. Don't halt democracy by putting it back in time after winning the PiS. Let democracy suppressed by state authorities live and make in democratic opposition!
The common list of all democratic groups is crucial in the upcoming local elections and in any another 1 in which we will gotta deal with authoritarian power.
The best, most transparent and fairest mechanics that will lead to the creation of joint electoral lists of specified a camp is the universal, equal and secret primaries.
The right to vote and participate actively in them should be enjoyed by all Polish citizens enjoying passive electoral rights, who will sign a democratic declaration – organization members on equal terms with independent local governments, urban and civilian movement activists or NGOS activists.
We are convinced that, in view of the changes being prepared by the authorities in electoral legislation, the Democrats must be together and must strive to make 1 opposition electoral list. However, it must not arise in organization cabinets – it should be the consequence of a popular vote of informed citizens in an agreed primary procedure.
Why is that important?
In this way, we will break the social inactivity and distrust that opposition parties face at the moment; we will bring into the participation and shared work of all those active in their communities who do not want dictatorship and civilian rights violations.
Parties which are jointly liable for the result of fresh elections should consciously quit the privileges that the current electoral run government gives them. By giving up the monopoly, you will increase your chances of final success.
The verdict of the primaries in the districts should be final under 2 conditions: compliance with the jointly established rules and minimum attendance of 5% eligible. This is the broadest democratic basis for the coalition we can create. Let's usage her for the common good!
We request democracy from you – not only from power!
