Polish Opposition Leader Donald Tusk Leads March to Boost Chances to Unseat Conservatives in Election
    Uncategorized

Polish opposition leader Donald Tusk is leading a march on Sunday in Warsaw to mobilise supporters and boost the chances of unseating the conservative government in the upcoming parliamentary elections. The march, called the ‘March of a Million Hearts,’ is expected to see thousands of supporters arriving from across the country. The 4-kilometer walk will be closed to traffic, and rallies are also planned in other cities.

Tusk and his electoral alliance, the Civic Coalition, have been facing an aggressive campaign from the government’s side. Surveys show that the Civic Coalition is trailing a few percentage points behind the ruling Law and Justice party. However, Tusk remains optimistic and believes that the wider opposition, which includes the Left party and centrist Third Way, has a chance to win in the October 15 vote.

A similar march in June drew huge crowds, estimated to be around 500,000 attendees. Tusk, 66, a former prime minister and European Union leader, returned to Polish politics several years ago. He aims to win back power and reverse what many view as a degradation of fundamental rights and ties with European partners that have occurred during the eight years of Law and Justice rule.
