A boost for Poland's democracy, and the E.U.
Time|November 06, 2023
IN POLAND, AN UNEXpected surge of voters ready for change has ousted a populist coalition government in favor of a pro-E.U., more moderate group of leaders. The Law and Justice Party, in power since 2015, won the most parliamentary seats. But its coalition partners didn't perform well enough to allow current Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski to form another government.
A boost for Poland's democracy, and the E.U.

It's a striking win for politician Donald Tusk and his Civic Coalition. It's also great news for the European Union, which can expect a new government in Warsaw that will respect E.U. rules on democracy and rule of law. The biggest surprise on election day was a turnout estimated at 73%, the highest figure in postcommunist Poland's history. It's a result all the more striking given Kaczynski's unapologetic use of state media to boost his party's support.
