The right-wing Confederation political alliance is also expected to surpass the electoral threshold, which is just a little behind the left-wing Spring Party (Wiosna).
Small parties are also taking part in the elections, including the Polexit Party. Its founder, Stanisław Żółtek, MEP and leader of the Congress of the New Right, outlined its views about the European vote and Polexit's agenda.
Sputnik: The main goal of your party is to facilitate Poland's exit from the European Union. What influenced you to pursue such an objective?
Stanisław Żółtek: I will say it straight away that we are not registered as a national committee, so, probably, we won't make it to the European Parliament.
But we will, nevertheless, take part in elections in some districts in order to see the genuine sentiment of the people and, thereby, show the EU a yellow card. We aim to enter the Polish Parliament.
Who will be elected to the European Parliament doesn't matter, since there nothing to say and do there, except to receive money. The elections to the national parliament are important, since only there it is possible to take action in terms of being part of the EU or withdrawing from it.
At the moment we are participating in European elections only as a way of studying public opinion.
Joining the European Parliament, I was convinced that it could be changed so that it would be a union of countries, and not a sole structure that governs these countries. It turned out to be impossible.

Moreover, the EU ruling circles and the European Commission, frightened by Brexit, decided to introduce regulations that would not allow another country to leave the EU in the future. For nations that attempt to do this, financial leverage is used against them.
The EU has really changed, only in the opposite direction, and I was convinced that there are no opportunities for other changes.
Sputnik: Do you have an understanding of your electorate? Will a resident of a city or a village, say "Mr. Kowalski", who enjoys the obvious benefits from Poland's membership in the European Union, vote for leaving the bloc?
Stanisław Żółtek: Firstly, the very phrase "enjoying obvious benefits" is wrong. In my opinion, this is absolutely not true.
If we hadn't joined the EU, Mr. Kowalski would have enjoyed exactly the same benefits or even more. Only the majority don't know about it. And that's where the problem lies.
Sputnik: Suppose you get a MEP mandate, but you're trying to pull Poland out of the EU. How could you reconcile these two matters?
Stanisław Żółtek: I have already said that I will not enter the European Parliament, since we are registered the way we are registered. But let's suppose that I do get a MEP mandate.
But membership in the European Parliament will give me access to information about what, in fact, is the EU, what are its plans for the future. But these are very dark and bad plans.
Sputnik: The election results will be a good forecast of the autumn elections to the Sejm and Senate. PiS and the Civic Platform are leading the polls. Will your party need to form a coalition? Who can you form a union with to become a "third force"?
Stanisław Żółtek: With any of the eurosceptics. I refused to join the Confederation. For me, being part of such a union doesn't make any sense. But I would be happy to join forces with the eurosceptics in the Polish parliament electoral race.
