WARSAW - Poland’s ruling nationalist Law and Justice party will offer pensioners a regular yearly cash bonus, party leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski was quoted as saying on Saturday ahead of next month’s parliamentary elections.

PiS, which is leading in opinion polls, faces a tough election campaign as its image as the party fighting for justice in Poland has been tarnished by political scandals. Against this background, PiS, which is targeting a majority in the new parliament, has decided to increase handouts to voters, especially its core electorate, including the elderly who this year received a one-off cash bonus.

PiS won 26 seats and the anti-PiS opposition 25 in the election to select members of the European Parliament. Polls show Poles remain a very pro-EU nation.

Of course. Offer a full bribe to 'older' voters, you mean the voters that are stuck in the past and want things to not change. Women shouldn't have rights, the church should run everything, blame the young for all the problems.

paying for voters isn't right. fixing corruption is another.

Now where did they get that idea from one wonders?

Its a PiS-poor effort.
