Katarzyna Pełczyńska wrote that in two years, more than half of the large Polish cities may have new leaders. According to her, their successors would control municipal companies and appointed positions, sever established relationships with developers, and a new competition would emerge in the elections to the Sejm. Pełczyńska described term limits in local government as the biggest systemic change since the beginning of the Third Republic of Poland. She noted that it was introduced by PiS, and the politicians who came to fix Poland after the rule of this party wanted to eliminate it. She claimed that this would be contrary to the will of the majority of Poles, who—she wrote—wanted to maintain the term limit. She added that a vote on this matter was scheduled for the next day. She noted that there was a clear collision between the desire of voters to change the rigid system and the interests of politicians seeking to preserve it for their own benefit. #Polska #polityka #samorząd (translated)
