A recent survey conducted by IBRiS reveals that 62.6% of Poles are aware of the controversy surrounding Włodzimierz Czarzasty, the Marshal of the Sejm, and his connections to a Russian woman suspected of having ties to the Russian authorities. The poll, which was conducted from February 13-14, indicates a split in public opinion regarding whether he should resign, as partisan preferences heavily influence responses.

When asked if Czarzasty should step down following the revelations, 46.9% of respondents opposed his resignation, while 44.9% supported it, with 8.2% undecided. The data reflects that support and opposition for Czarzasty align closely with political party affiliations, creating a polarized atmosphere regarding this issue. Notably, among supporters of the ruling coalition, a significant majority remain in favor of Czarzasty, in contrast to those from the opposition parties who largely advocate for his resignation.

The survey highlights the current political climate in Poland, where issues of Russian connections are sensitive and divisive. With 67% of PiS voters supporting his removal and a significant portion of the opposition backing him, this issue may impact future political strategies and unity within the governing coalition as they navigate public perceptions and internal party dynamics.
