great news
I bardzo kurwa dobrze.
>Exit poll respondents most frequently cited the planned introduction of Krakow’s Clean Transport Zone—a low-emission area that would restrict older, higher-polluting vehicles from entering parts of the city—as the main reason for taking part in the referendum.
>While formally focused on local issues, the campaign drew support from opposition parties including the former ruling right-wing Law and Justice (PiS) party and the far-right Confederation, both of which backed efforts to remove Miszalski.
Excuse me, I’m very out of the loop on this topic and only learned about this referendum yesterday. But this sounds just like the whole London ULEZ Mayoral debacle from a few years ago. I would think Kraków with it’s terrible air quality would not be have such a potent opposition to such air quality improving measures?
Important context, is that official strategy for voting “no” was to not come vote at all (on the assumption that itll be easier to win by adding the lazy votes to your side, as “no” would be the default result if the turnout wasnt high enough). “Yes” appears to have won, but seeing the results without that info might misinform about the scale of support for his ousting.
Dla tych, co piszą, że dobrze: To kogo widzicie tam zamiast niego? Pytam o konkretną osobę, a nie abstrakcję typu „każdego, tylko nie jego”.
I did my part, I am glad he’s out.
