| Polish New Rulers – Will They Deliver for Women’s Rights? | |
|
| |
The Civic Platform, the winning party in the 2007 parliamentary election in Poland,
made a lot of promises before the elections to the Polish public. First of all - lower
taxes, easier life for business people and quick economic growth. It did not promise
anything in particular to women but nevertheless many women went to vote for the
party of Donald Tusk. To be more precise, one can say that they voted not so much
for Tusk but rather against the infamous Kaczynski “twins”.
