Poland’s main opposition party, Civic Platform, faces fierce criticism for announcing plans to lower the minimum age for obtaining a driver’s license to 17.
Opposition Criticized for Communication Exclusion
Poland’s opposition Civic Platform (PO) has come under fire for its attempt to tackle communication exclusion, specifically targeting younger citizens. Critics argue that the party appears ill-informed on the actual issue, suggesting they should first address public transportation reforms.
Definition and Criticism
The communication exclusion definition was questioned, with social media users pointing out that the proposed solution seems more focused on introducing new regulations than addressing the actual problem. Warmia and Mazury region, governed by PO, has limited public transport access in many areas, highlighting circumstances where communication exclusion is a genuine issue.
Raging Social Media Response
Commentators and online users expressed skepticism about the plan, with many arguing that PO is out of touch. One critic emphasized that the party’s actions in addressing communication exclusion are reminiscent of blowing smoke in the faces of those who lack access to public transport in their communities.
