Poland's ruling nationalists seen on course to remain in power for second term

WARSAW, Poland - Poland’s nationalist Law and Justice was on course to keep its ruling majority after a general election on Sunday, an exit poll showed, a victory likely to stoke concern about democratic standards in the largest ex-Soviet European Union state.

Opposition groups and Poland’s EU partners say that during its four years in power, PiS has undermined the independence of the judiciary, forced public media to promote its agenda and taken other steps to quell dissent. The EU has launched unprecedented legal action against PiS over its justice reforms, which PiS says are needed to make courts more efficient and fair.

“I see that they are building something, that they are doing something, that they have bought something back, it was all devastated, everything was sold, Poland had nothing, and I support PiS for that,” said Teresa Sass, an 85-year-old pensioner in the northern city of Gdansk. The Spring party of Robert Biedron, Poland’s first openly gay lawmaker, and Together of Adrian Zandberg campaigned as part of a bloc on a promise to end coal mining and sever the links between church and state.

While we're worried about Ukraine....

Good luck to Poland. This is bound to create problems for the EU as some of the policies of PiS are not conforming to EU acquis.

Good. Election is over and PiS won. Smart people.

Common sense prevails

no soros peoples then

*headed The election time has finished - Law and Justice continues to have an absolute majority.
