Donald Tusk’s leftist-liberal government may face four right-wing parties at next year’s parliamentary elections.

Law and Justice (PiS) has officially announced Przemysław Czarnek as its prime ministerial candidate for next year’s Polish parliamentary elections.

President Karol Nawrocki and PiS leader Jarosław Kaczyński warned about threats to democracy, rule of law, and sovereignty.
