TRUTHDIG’S JOURNALISM REMAINS CLEARThe Christian Science Monitor:
Acting President Bronislaw Komorowski, from the ruling center-right Civic Platform (PO), won the first round of Poland’s presidential election on Sunday with 41.2 percent of the vote.
He edged out Jaroslaw Kaczynski, the twin brother of the deceased president, who received 36.7 percent, according to official results from more than 94 percent of polling stations.
Kaczynski’s campaigning in the past few weeks has helped close what was just recently a much wider gap in the polls, and if the trend continues, he could come from behind to beat Komorowski when the two compete in a run off on July 4.
The storytellers of chaos tried to manipulate the political and media narrative in 2025, but independent journalism exposed what they tried to hide. When you read Truthdig, you see through the illusion.
