A new quality in local government, candidates with class. They thank and congratulate their rivals.

It turns out that you can go through an election campaign without hate, and at the end refer to your rivals with respect. Although for years we have been accustomed to different behaviors of politicians, at least in Wadowice we have examples of people who can behave with class. Here are some examples. On Tuesday, Wadowice Mayor Bartosz Kaliński published a post in which he also referred to his competitors. “7995 x thank you. Andrychów and Kalwaria Zebrzydowska are heading for the second round, and we have already won in the first one with a lead of over 2,500 votes, which shows that Wadowice are in good hands!” – wrote Kaliński. He also thanked everyone who helped him in this campaign. “I also thank my competitors Paweł Krasa and Kamil Żurek for this rivalry. On Sunday, we achieved a double success, as besides winning in the battle for the mayor’s seat, we also won the elections to the City Council, gaining as many as 14 out of 21 mandates… I want to emphasize once again that I have been and will continue to be the mayor of all Wadowice residents, not only those who voted for me, but also to those who voted for competitors and those who, for various reasons, did not go to the polls. Ahead of us are another five years of fruitful development of Wadowice,” said the mayor. He also thanked the second mayoral candidate, Paweł Krasa. “Today I would like to sincerely thank each of you for the huge support you showed me during the recent elections. 5393 votes is a huge number for me for the position of Mayor of Wadowice and 708 votes for the City Council in Wadowice, motivating me to continue working. Even though we did not win the mayoral election, I am incredibly proud and grateful for the opportunity to represent you as a councilor in the City Council in Wadowice. For the third time in a row,” said Paweł Krasa. The candidate emphasized that he is grateful to the entire Community Self-Government committee for “amazing commitment, hard work, and support throughout the entire election campaign”. He also did not forget about his competitor. In the end, I would like to warmly congratulate Mr. Bartosz Kaliński on winning the election for Mayor of Wadowice! I wish our entire Municipality many successes and wise decisions. Once again, thank you all for your support and trust,” added Paweł Krasa. Mateusz Przejczowski from Spytkowice also behaved with class. He congratulated two competitors, Krzysztof Byrski and Marek Gajow, who made it to the second round and are still fighting for the mayor’s seat in Spytkowice. “I wanted to do something that rarely happens in the history of local elections – defeat two candidates who have been serving as the mayor of our municipality for the last few months. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out. However, I thank each of the 614 people who trusted me. The past campaign was an amazing time for me, full of hard work and getting to know your problems. I promise that I still want to solve them! Marek, Krzysiek, thank you for the rivalry and I wish that the next 5 years for our municipality will be a time of its development, because I believe that we all care about Spytkowice Municipality,” said Mateusz Przejczowski.
