Following his party’s poor showing in weekend elections, the leader of Poland’s far-right Confederation party said Tuesday that women should be barred from voting.
“Women should not have the right to vote,” Janusz Korwin-Mikke, who is known for misogynist comments, told tabloid Super Express in an interview.
Korwin-Mikke failed to get elected in Sunday’s election to the lower house of parliament (Sejm). His party failed to maintain its strong polling over the summer of around 14%, finishing with around half that, 7%, meaning a potential coalition with the current ruling party Law and Justice (PiS) failed to pass the required 50% mark.
