Comments of participants
Candidate KO Rafał Trzaskowski during the rally after the debate, he judged that "it is possible to conduct the debate calmly and in substance". "It's hard to realize any of my competitors. due to the fact that we were expected to have a debate together months ago. The candidates all woke up. It was an equal debate, no 1 had better conditions. Not what in 2020" - said Trzaskowski. According to him, Karol Nawrocki did everything he could to make the debate fail, or another candidates were with him.
"The fact and courage won," said the candidate after the debate supported by PiS Karol Nawrocki. "The armed forces' superior cannot be a coward, and the coward has not come to the marketplace in Konski for the second time (Rafal Trzaskowski) and I have come to him in greenhouse conditions. And inactive we managed," he said to the Nawrocks. Left candidate Magdalena Biejat She was glad that "a actual left-wing voice sounded in this debate". "The voice of a left-wing candidate who is truly struggling for circumstantial issues that do not get active in these constant arguments. present I presented a concrete plan, a project, for what to do, for Poland to decision forward, alternatively of inactive stuck in the past. To build a state that cares about average citizens, not just the richest ones" - she stressed. Krzysztof Stanowski said in a conversation with PAP that "the debate was boring". "Why did I take part in it? To make her a small more interesting, but unfortunately I didn't make it. It was amazing that tv Poland was producing a signal for the election committee of 1 of the candidates and is putting a prime time debate, in which there are no all candidates, is an absolute violation of the principles of democracy. This shouldn't have happened. Who do I think is the winner? I think Joanne Senyszyn is simply a very beautiful woman who stole the hearts of many people" - Stanowski said. Simon Holovnia assessedthat "duopol had to let another candidates to speak" and Poles could hear that there was individual another than those who dealt with each another (Rafal Trzaskowski and Karol Nawrocki). "It is good that we were here, it is good that I have persuaded everyone to come from the debate of the Republic for this debate" - he said. The presidential election will be held on 18 May of this year, and the eventual second circular - on 1 June. Source: PAP
