A SALUTE

On Sunday July 12, 2020, Poland held its Presidential election.

In spite of all the many difficulties created by the pandemic that has done such damage throughout the world, Poland’s voters turned out in record numbers to cast their ballots to elect the country’s president.

Congratulations are in order to the Citizens of Poland!

Indeed, once again, in this, Poland’s seventh national presidential election since Poland regained its freedom in 1989, the contest was defined by a
firm adherence to the highest principles of democracy.

Moreover, this election was exactly like those that came before.
Indeed, since the founding of the Third Republic of Poland in 1989, nine parliamentary elections, seven presidential elections, along with a host of local elections and several national referendums have been held. All have been conducted in the most proper manner conceivable.

Congratulations to the Citizens of Poland
