Tusk looks good in Gdansk!
The frontrunner in the upcoming Polish Presidential elections is Donald Tusk. Tusk represents the 'Citizen's Platform' which is a center-right political party, founded by Tusk in 2001 after he failed to chairmenship of the Freedom Union Party.
The Citizens Platform stands for an increasingly laizze-faire economy while at the same time promoting conservative social values, a strategy which has pushed the Republicans to power in the United States. Desiring a fresh face and a tough stand on corruption, the Polish citizens have supported Tusk in early election polls. Whether this momentum will carry Tusk to victory is anyone's guess, but here in Gdansk, people are pulling for him.
Tusk currently represents the Gdynia-Slupsk constituency in the Sejm, and he was born here in Gdansk, making him the hometown favorite. Regardless of how he fares across the rest of Poland, he is sure to do well amongst fellow Gdanskians!
