The last remaining doubts surrounding the 20 June Polish presidential elections have now been dispelled. Jarosław Kaczyński, leader of the opposition Law and Justice (PiS) party, has declared his candidacy. In an April 26 special press release, he wishes to accomplish the “mission” of his brother Lech and the “Polish patriotic elite” killed in the 10 April plane crash near Smolensk. Polls show that with support around 27 percent, Kaczyński is the only candidate able to challenge the presidential bid of Bronisław Komorowski of the ruling Civic Platform (PO), supported by nearly half of those polled (47 percent). “A war of nerves and a wait for who will strike the first blow nolw begins,” predicts Polska. Gazeta Wyborcza, in turn, argues against a divisive campaign that would divide Poles into “righteous” and “unrighteous”. “Let the dispute be only differences of opinion and let it exclude no one from the national community,” writes the liberal daily.
