A new Civic Platform election spot for the European Parliament shows a map of Poland without Western Pomerania.

The short campaign film, which encourages Poles to cast their votes for Civic Platform (PO) during the EP elections, was well received by experts. Unlike the Law and Justice’s (PiS) election spot, which was fiercely criticized for attacking the opponents, PO’s film was praised for passing on a positive message.

Yet, it turned out that the video has a serious mistake. It shows an incomplete map of Poland, without the north-west region of Pomerania and the port city of Swinoujscie. In PO’s film, that part of Poland was incorporated into Germany.

The Law and Justice party, after having spotted its rival’s mistake, invited Civic Platform to a press conference in Swinoujscie.(mg/mmj)
