Conservatives absolute majority in Poland

The conservative and eurosceptic party Law and Justice (PiS) of former Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski is the big winner of the Sunday parliamentary elections in Poland.

Since the fall of communism in 1989, no party has such a big election victory achieved in Poland. The party that ruled the country for almost forty million eight years, the liberal Civic Platform of the current Prime Minister Eva Kopacz, received 24 percent of the vote. This is now the second party has 138 seats in the Sejm.
