    Can’t believe nobody posted about Poland yet! Huge win for democracy and possibly the largest turnout for an election in their history.

    This could be insanely important for the European Union if Poland isn’t blocking sanctions against Hungary by default anymore.

    But it wouldn’t be surprised if Italy is taking their spot in protecting antidemocratic populism now…

      Italy will do what America wants and seemingly the US do not want Europe to be too strongly connected and cohesive…

          My statement had two parts: one about Italy failing to act in the genuine interest of the EU and another one concerning what the US want for the future of the EU. Which are you asking about?

    So to be clear here, no one party has a majority, so it would have to be a coalition.

    Even then, they don’t have a big enough majority to overturn a presidential veto.

      I did a little searching around but don’t understand for sure - so Duda is on a different election schedule and stays in power until 2025, is that right? But then he can’t run again?
