These were the questions asked:
1. “Do you support the selling off of state assets to foreign entities, leading to the loss of Poles’ control over strategic sectors of the economy?”
2. “Do you support an increase in the retirement age, including the restoration of the increased retirement age to 67 for men and women?”
3.”Do you support the removal of the barrier on the border between Poland and Belarus?”
4. “Do you support the admission of thousands of illegal immigrants from the Middle East and Africa, in accordance with the forced relocation mechanism imposed by the European bureaucracy?”
Another great victory ✌️
It was tool that leading party used to be able to get extra funding for their propaganda and questions goal was just to reinforce leading party program and create siege mentality.
it is hard to believe people are getting caught on so obvious ploy. Make you wonder how 40% of people who voted can be so dumb to take part in this “referendum”.
Questions were stupid, so what they expected?
the referendum was really dumb, very obvious answers , real shame that a referendum was wasted on this instead on voting for something important like creating a alliance with ukraine and invading russia together
Still not 100% done counting the vote, but I think it’s fair to say it won’t reach the 50% needed.
Good riddance to this potential future PiS propaganda tool.
as an american, polish politics seems very complicated.
Hell yeah, I didn’t see a single person at my voting location take a referendum card. PiS can shove it
This whole referendum was a disgrace to the democracy. The tendentious questions were just to much!
