Legislative elections in Poland, a country run for eight years by the nationalist populist Law and Justice (PiS) party, will be held on October 15, within constitutional deadlines, Polish President Andrzej Duda announced Tuesday.
“I have decided to hold the elections on October 15, 2023,” Duda declared on the X social network, formerly known as Twitter. Poles will have to elect 460 deputies and 100 senators.
According to polls, PiS has the advantage to win for the third time in a row, although it would not have enough support to govern alone.
According to the polls, the nationalist-populists stand at 33% of voting intentions, ahead of the main opposition party, the centrist Civic Platform (PO), which would have support between 26% and 32. %.
The extreme right-wing nationalist libertarian and eurosceptic Confederation party would come in third with around 12% of the vote.
In fourth place would be the coalition of the rural party PSL and the center-right Polska 2050, and the left, with between 10% and 11% of the vote, according to different polls.
Poland has become an uncomfortable partner of the European Union in recent years for different reasons. Without going any further, last June the Court of Justice of the EU ruled that the reform of the Polish judicial system, promoted and approved in December 2019 at the request of PiS, violates Community Law.
