In fresh weeks the political scene in Poland has changed significantly. The results of the latest poll conducted by the Pollster investigation Institute for “Super Express” show that Rafał Trzaskowski (KO) can number on 35% of support, Karol Nawrocki (PiS) for 23%, and Sławomir Mentzen (Confederation) for 19%. This data is peculiarly interesting, as Mentzen enjoys more support than his party, which won only 18.08% of the vote.
Mentzen: a fresh face of Polish politics?
It is worth noting that the poll results show increasing support for Sławomir Mentzen, which may be due to his different character and kind of politics. Mentzen, as a Confederate candidate, has already gained considerable popularity among voters who search fresh and courageous solutions in politics. Its popularity has increased despite the fact that the Confederacy as a organization does not enjoy the same level of support.
Lech Wałęsa: tougher words about Mentzen
Former president Lech Wałęsa did not see Mentzen and described him as “political waste”. Wałęsa stated that "everything that is happening present is correct" and that it is essential to "build a fresh era, draw lessons from the mistakes of the past." His words seem to be a sharper comment on the current state of the Polish policy, in which "many valuable people avoid politics, which leads to accidental people".
Healthy competition: the foundation of Polish democracy
The discussion on Mentzen and Wałęsa shows that the Polish political scene is increasingly dynamic and diverse. fresh faces and policy styles can attract fresh voters and increase assurance in democratic institutions. However, as Wałęsa notes, “many capable Poles are 'oiling politics'”, which opens the door to the incorrect people.
According to the Central Statistical Office (GUS), in 2020 63.4% of Poles aged 18-24 did not vote in parliamentary elections. This phenomenon may be due to a deficiency of assurance in politicians and institutions, or may be due to a deficiency of political education among young people.
Support for political parties: figures
The poll results show that:
– Rafał Trzaskowski (KO) can number on 35% support
– Karol Nawrocki (PiS) at 23%
– Sławomir Mentzen (Confederation) at 19%
– Confederacy as a organization won 18.08% of the vote
These data show that the political scene in Poland is increasingly diverse and voters are looking for fresh solutions and leaders. However, as Wałęsa notes, “many valuable people avoid politics”, which may have a negative impact on the quality of Polish democracy.
