Poland's Third Way party, along with its allies, is celebrating a potential electoral victory following an Ipsos exit poll, indicating that a coalition of three opposition parties may secure a majority in the Sejm, potentially ousting the ruling Law and Justice party.
The election is significant and impacts the nation's constitution, stance on social issues, and foreign alliances.Poland's Third Way party and its allies are celebrating a potential victory following an Ipsos exit poll.
The three opposition parties, including Donald Tusk's Civic Coalition, Third Way, and the New Left, each ran independently, but with the common goal of removing Law and Justice from power and restoring positive relations with the European Union."This is the huge day for our democracy because it seems that bad government, which we had in Poland for eight years, now will be changed for democratic governments.
This election is considered of utmost importance by many Poles, comparable to the significance of the 1989 election when Poland transitioned to democracy after years of communism.Poland is a socially conservative country and its government has implemented policies that are at odds with the E-U's values on issues such as LGBTIQ+ rights and abortion, as well as its foreign alliances, particularly its role as a key ally to Ukraine in the face of Russia's full-scale invasion.
"We’ll not be breaking European treaties. We will not be breaking judgments of the European Court of Justice, therefore Poland should return to its rightful place as one of the five big members of the EU, influential particularly on foreign eastern policy of the EU and I hope we will soonest be able to take advantage of the recovery funds of the European Union.”
