Dispute over dual candidacy. "Mixing rationalism and populism"

The Polish Sejm rejected a proposal to abolish term limits for local officials, which was originally introduced in 2018. Jakub Stefaniak from PSL criticized the proposal's intent, suggesting it aimed to eliminate inconvenient candidates. He indicated that if the term limit repeal fails, PSL would propose limiting parliamentary terms to two. Senator Adam Szejnfeld from KO expressed disappointment, arguing for the rationality of abolishing term limits, while criticizing the populist approach to the issue. He emphasized the need for a rational discussion rather than succumbing to populism.
