Nearly 74% of voters turned out to polling stations on Sunday.
Poland's main opposition leader, former premier and head of the centrist Civic Coalition bloc, Donald Tusk addresses supporters at the party's headquarters in Warsaw, Poland on Oct. 15, 2023, after the presentation of the first exit poll results of the country's parliamentary elections.From 7 a.m. onward Sunday, ballot boxes in Poland started filling up so fast that spare ones had to be dusted off and more ballots needed to be printed.
Late poll figures univocally indicate that opposition parties stand a realistic chance to form Poland's next government. PiS voters turn a blind eye to the fact that the country began to drift toward authoritarian rule, authorities neglect the EU's legal norms and the country continues on a collision course with the Union. Some €36 billion of EU COVID pandemic recovery funds have been frozen in a row over PiS judicial reforms. Many observers believe another PiS term would result in Poland leaving the European Union.
PiS voters declare the fear that if the party loses, the next government would take away the generous social benefits PiS guaranteed, such as 14 pensions, child care payments and early retirement.
