“Poland’s ruling far-right party has stepped up its attacks on the opposition leader Donald Tuskpresenting her as a German doll,” we read.
“Jaroslaw Kaczynskileader of the ruling Law and Justice party (PEE), he argued Friday that it was necessary referendumto stop Tusk’s Civic Platform from selling state-owned companies to German and other foreign investors,” we read further. The British daily quoted Kaczyński as saying in a video posted on Facebook: “Germany wants to put Tusk in Poland to sell their joint property .”
Foreign media about the PiS attack on Tusk and the referendum
According to the Financial Times, PiS is seeking an unprecedented third term, assuring voters that it is capable of defending Poland from external threats, especially from Russia and Belarus.
But PiS also focused its campaign efforts on slandering Tusk as too friendly to Moscow and an agent of the European Union and Germany, the “FT” explained.

“Polls suggest that neither PiS nor Tusk’s party will win a majority in October, which could also lead to complicated negotiations over forming a coalition government with smaller parties after a bitter and vitriolic campaign,” we read.
This British daily reminds that apart from the issue of privatization, this referendum will also discuss other issues, including: migration, and will take place on the same day as parliamentary elections. “Parliament must approve the referendum plan, and opposition parties argue that this allows PiS to justify using more public money to increase its election campaign spending,” we read.
The “FT” quoted the words of the vice president of Poland 2050, Michał Kobosko, who said on Friday that “the whole idea of a referendum is far-fetched and absurd. Poles will vote on October 15 in the parliamentary elections – and this is a real referendum on PiS government.”
