Jarosław Kaczyński dismissed the recent poll showing his party’s decline, attributing it to a “powerful hate operation,” during a Monday press conference in Warsaw.
Kaczyński on Reasons for PiS Support Drop
During a Monday press conference at the Office of Law and Justice, Kaczyński was asked about the latest survey that found only 31 % of respondents would vote for the Civic Coalition, while PiS ranked second with 25.5 %. He recalled the 2012‑2013 figures—19 % for PiS and 60 % for the Civic Coalition— and the 2015 election when PiS was elected. He said the party was not considering a coalition or victory, and blamed the dip to a “powerful hate operation.” Kaczyński added that such tactics are effective because they give opponents an overwhelming propaganda advantage.
