Party Chairman Election Controversy
On Sunday, Poland 2050 conducted the second round of online elections for the party chairman. Minister of Funds and Regional Policy Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz and Minister of Climate and Environment Paulina Hennig-Kloska competed for this position. However, the voting was invalidated. “In the voting process, a significantly larger number of votes were cast than the number of party members entitled to vote,” Poland 2050 stated in a communiqué. They announced that they would file a report with the prosecutor’s office.
National Council Meeting
On Friday afternoon, the National Council of Poland 2050 will also be held online. “The National Council will decide how the electoral process will be conducted further: on the one hand as quickly as possible, on the other hand in a way fully safe for the organization and its members. Safety and credibility of the process are an absolute priority for us,” the group informed this week.
