Tomasz Fijołek: Exchange is not reform. Two-term limits will hit the weakest communities

The debate on limiting the terms of local leaders in Poland raises questions about the effectiveness of such reforms. While many citizens view local governance positively, the proposed changes may not address the underlying issues within the system. Historical data shows that voters regularly change their local leaders without the need for statutory limits. The author argues that the focus should be on enhancing the governance system rather than merely changing individuals in power. The importance of experienced local leaders in crisis management is emphasized, suggesting that forced changes could disrupt continuity and safety in governance.
