The uproar in Poland over leaked recordings of conversations among officials threatened to disrupt the government, with the prime minister and the president saying the scandal may lead to early elections.
Poland may be forced to hold a snap ballot, Prime Minister Donald Tusk said today, adding that if it happens, the voting may take place in a “few” weeks or months. The nation may have to set in motion “the mechanism of democratic elections” in response to an “extraordinary situation,” President Bronislaw Komorowski said in a speech in Lowicz, Poland.
