Polish economic policy in the election statements of candidates for the presidency in Poland in 2010
Abstract
The paper presents the differences and similarities in the economic platforms of candidates
for presidency of Poland. An attempt is also made to assess which promises made by the
candidates in the realm of economy generated support, and which were responsible for the
conflicts arising between them. Economic problems were the subject of the electoral declarations
of many candidates. Privatization, the tax system and the development of businesses attracted
most attention. The visions of the Polish economy presented by the candidates were
similar. Only Janusz Korwin-Mikke advocated a minimum of state intervention in economic
life. The commercialization of the national health system and agricultural subsidies were the
centre of the disputes between Bronis³aw Komorowski and Jaros³aw Kaczyñski. The fact that
the former won a judicial argument about the privatization of the health system did not help
him to win over undecided voters, which was clearly evidenced in the opinion polls conducted
before the election. Komorowski was elected Poland’s president by a small majority. Kaczyñski’s
defeat was due to the fact that he commanded a significant negative electorate.
