Causing many newly reopened businesses to shut down again. Im married to evanston its good to have you with us polish voters are casting ballots in a closely fought president ial poll the incumbent andre duda whos backed by the right wing populist government is up against a field of candidates but his main challenger is the liberal mayor of warsaw due to has been campaigning on a deeply conservative social agenda which often included radical and homophobic statements. In southern poland is one of many small towns that president is visiting during his Election Campaign. Family tradition religion those are the issues and values he hopes will win over voters in this speech he warns that what he calls l g b t ideology will undermine the traditional family and above all twist childrens morals are surprised my parents generation fought for 40 years to remove communist ideology from the Education System so that our children are not forced fed it anymore now its no longer allowed to brainwash young people or indoctrinate children or soldiers in the army our parents did not fight this fight to prepare the way for another new ideology an ideology even more destructive for humanity just about a vehicle until recently slogans like these were the preserve of polish nationalists now the nationalists have their own candidate and fear that do to with his radical language maybe siphoning off their voters. But it is good that the president raised this issue during the Election Campaign but unfortunately the p. I. A. s government did nothing over the last 5 years to stop this ideological offensive against poland we are a Christian Country and people have to respect this thats why right now there is a rather aggressive policy to strengthen these morals. Susie under fears that intolerance towards the l g b t community will increase if due to is reelected she is from italy but has lived in warsaw for 20 years and feels at home here although she has been verbally and physically attacked a few times because of her Sexual Orientation. She was horrified by do does statement. Shocked me because his statement was very radical. The president had never gone that far before. As a homosexual person in poland i feel threatened. That all the false 50 under is is thinking about leaving poland but 1st she wants to wait for the Election Results and there is hope to does opponent in the president ial race is warsaw mayor kosky hes campaigning for gay rights hes signed an l g b t charter that outlaws discrimination on the grounds of Sexual Orientation he has spoken out publicly against such polarization. That youre saying we are fed up with the current government trying to set people against each other. Those in power are constantly trying to divide us and everyone who disagrees with this power must live in fear we are fed up with it. These words saw demonstrators also want change so they are supporting the liberal candidate as president of the republic shreds kosky would not be able to stop the plans of the National Conservative government completely but he could veto unconstitutional laws and thus keep the government in check. For some analysis im joined now in the studio by. Month eve from our polish service why take it to see you so weve been hearing this president ial vote in poland referred to as a clash of values what exactly is that stake here well it is indeed a clash of visions of poland poland shall be a conservative liberal democracy or the other vision of a open country a liberal progressive democracy sharing values of the european union. The other thing that is at stake i think is indeed the rule of law because if the incumbent president remains in office the ruling law and Justice Party which he supports will be able to continue those very controversial reforms of the judiciary taking control over almost every every section of the Public Public life in poland and the 3rd thing thats at stake in my opinion is the future of the government i believe if we do that loses this election the government will collapse because there are already big tensions within the government if they dont have their president it will be impossible impossible for them to work. In next years well this election was postponed because the crown a virus pandemic but all the while it was assumed they do they would easily win and now suddenly its not quite certain whether hell win he is a challenger at the mayor of war so how did this man suddenly appear as a serious challenger to him this is very interesting he entered the election race only in the may because the 1st the original candidate of this liberal party was very unsuccessful. And because of the coronavirus there was the election has been postponed and this gave the lib. Gross illegal you need to change the can do that and then they said ok lets try with that ill just get the matter of more so and this looks now very well for deliberate. She has some trouble right now because its going to be a very tight race always song are a poor its the due to has suddenly made l g b t community an issue why did it become a campaign issue. Because he as i just said that. The fear is that he may lose this election and i think his party knows that they have to galvanize the Public Opinion more they have to mobilize their heart core electorate more and these issues like issues this is religion conservative society and so on this are topics that. Do work out for the conservatives in poland so they say ok we have to try this otherwise we may loose all right d. W. Is Wojciech Szymanski from our polish service many thanks indeed for all of your insights thank you for. Lets get a check now of some of the other stories making news this hour the former malawian Opposition LeaderLazarus Chuck where a has been sworn in as president thats after winning the rerun election with more than 58 percent of the vote the initial poll in may of 2019 with discredited and its result overturned due to mass fraud.
