Poland in times of the election campaign: before the run-off election on 12 July, Poland’s president today announced to the media in effective manner that he wants to inscribe the ban of adoption of children by homosexual couples in the constitution. The saddest thing is that even his fiercest rival agrees with him on this issue.<\/p>\n
Things are getting tight for the President, Andrzej Duda is currently fighting for his re-election. Although he was able to take the lead in the first round of voting with 8,412,183 votes (43.7 percent) – his opponent Rafa\u0142 Trzaskowski received only 5,845,164 votes (30.34 percent). However, this also meant a loss of votes for Duda (we reported) – and since no candidate was able to gather more than 50 percent of the votes, a run-off vote will take place on 12 July.<\/p>\n
In this hot phase Duda probably found it time to tighten up his favourite political topic once again. The candidate of the anti-queer governing party Law and Justice (PiS), which is largely responsible for the intensification of queer-hatred in the country, had already claimed at an election campaign event in the middle of the month that queer rights are more harmful than communism (we have reported). Last month he promised to ban queer- inclusive education in schools and assured that he would block any legislation on same-sex marriage. So now, rainbow families are being targeted – not that those existing in Poland had fared so well in the past.<\/p>\n
