    Polish President Andrzej Duda of the populist nationalist anti-immigration United Right coalition led by the Law and Justice Party beat his runoff challenger from the center-right Civic coalition, led by the more traditional right and more EU-friendly Civic Platform by 51% to 49%. Now the opposition is trying to get the courts to annul the election and call a re-run. It is typical sore loser nonsense, but it shows how too many in politics try to abuse the courts in seeking power.

    The Law and Justice Party has an absolute majority in the all-important lower house of parliament, even without the seats that were won by its other populist nationalist right allies.

    A number of globalist leaders in Europe like Merkel and Macron have been trying to undermine the populist / nationalist right in Poland for years, and are apparently aiding this effort as well.
