The meeting was attended by guest speakers, including BELC member of Swiebodzin District Governor, Zbigniew Szumski; District Council Chairwoman, Jolanta Starzewska and District Councilor, Marcin Minta.
One of the key points of the discussions was the upcoming European elections, reminding participants that the European Parliament elections in Poland are held on June 9, 2024, and anyone above 18 has the right to vote.
District Council Chairwoman Jolanta Starzewska stressed the importance of these elections, in which young people, who already have the right to vote, can make a significant contribution.
