WARSAW - Poland holds an election on Sunday that is likely to hand the nationalist Law and Justice party a second term in office, potentially deepening the country’s isolation as unease within the EU about its commitment to democratic standards grows.PiS is expected to win more votes than it did in 2015 and may get enough parliamentary seats to continue to govern alone - but the shift in the political climate that it has presided over in the past four years has polarized the country.
“We can guarantee that Polish families are protected, that Poland’s freedom is protected and that the Polish Church is protected against attacks,” PiS leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski told supporters in its eastern rural heartland on Friday.That may give the party an absolute majority.
“He is building a huge wall and creating great tensions,” she told supporters on Thursday. “That is why I call on all people of good will ... regardless of their political views: let’s defend Poland against such ...hatred.
The party has also shifted Poland’s foreign policy away from the European mainstream, becoming a leading proponent of calls to take some powers away from the EU, with which Warsaw is embroiled in a long-running row over judicial and media reforms.
