One of the candidates, Andrzej Duda representing “Law and Justice” conservative party; in Polish: Prawo i Sprawiedliwosc), expressed strongly his opinion on the energy related issued during press conference on March 14. According to the presidential candidate, situation in which 2/3 of the gas is supplied from Russia, is a real threat of eventual lack of supply, as it took place on Ukraine. He points out that the climate package and the European tendency of decarbonisation (translating into the decrease of usage of coal) threatens the sovereignty of Polish economy, which is highly dependent on coal, and has a negative impact on the competitiveness of the European economy to Russia, China and the United States. Duda directly accused current president, Bronislaw Komorowski, to not intervened on Gazoport case – described in detail in the note : http://polish-energy-blog.blogspot.it/2015/03/delays-of-construction-of-lng-terminal.html
