Good news for Poland and the EU, finally
So it seems. Some big steps in a better direction:
“This is the end of the bad times, this is the end of the PiS government,” Donald Tusk declared on Sunday night.
The opposition had already warned Poles it was their “last chance” to save democracy. The National Election Commission put the turnout at 74% , the highest since the fall of communism in 1989."
Yeah … it got tighter for a change in power the more votes were counted. I really wonder why that happened, since it happened in Slovakia as well. We’re the results from rural regions coming in last or something like that?
I think it was the other way around. They counted the rural areas first and PiS got about 40% there. Then the bigger cities came in and PiS lost more and more down to 35.5%
