Call for unity

The PiS leader called the Kraków result a very important event from which, in his view, conclusions should be drawn. He said it was possible to defeat the ruling coalition provided there was unity and a willingness to disregard different, even significant, differences. Kaczyński also claimed that the vote reflected a broader rejection of the current coalition’s rule, including the Civic Coalition and its allies led by the Polish People’s Party.
