The campaign consists of six radio spots, to be aired over the next eight days by Poland’s major broadcasters, except for the country’s largest private radio station, RMF which refused to broadcast the pre-campaign spots.

One television spot is also to be broadcast by public television and two privately-owned stations. The spots feature a young mother, a university graduate, a teacher, a businessman, an old-age pensioner, a football fan and a car mechanic, all talking about their problems, connected primarily to their jobs or a lack of work opportunities.

Their message to Prime Minister Tusk is – “Thank you, you’ve done enough. It’s time for bold decisions”.

Law and Justice leaders claim this is not yet an election campaign as no official announcement of the date of the parliamentary elections has been made. President Komorowski has said that October 9 is the most likely date for the general elections, however. (mk/jb)
