Former left wing prime minister of Poland ad now an independent senator Włodzimierz Cimoszewicz tells our reporter Michal Kubicki that the opposition Law and Justice, who finished just only 0.3 per cent of the vote behind the ruling party Civic Platform, is the de facto winner.
In Cimoszewicz’s view, Civic Platform “should not neglect the fact that they lost one fourth of the vote” compared to the European elections in 2009.
