Polish opposition leader Donald Tusk declared the beginning of a new era after three opposition parties appeared to have won enough votes in Sunday’s election to oust the governing party
Polish opposition leader Donald Tusk declared the beginning of a new era for his country after opposition parties appeared to have won enough votes in Sunday's election to oust the ruling populist party. That party, Law and Justice, has bickered with allies and faced accusations of eroding rule of law at home in its eight years in power. It appeared that voters were mobilized like never before, voting in even greater numbers than when the nation ousted the communist authorities in 1989.
” Katarzyna Pelczynska-Nalecz, the head of election campaign for Third Way, called it a “huge day for our democracy.” “There is a lot of work to do for all of us, and it’s going to be a huge challenge,” she said, adding: 'We are very satisfied and full of hope that things will be much better in Poland in the days, months and years to come.” Votes were still being counted and the state electoral commission says it expects to have final results by Tuesday morning.
