WARSAW, Poland – Poland’s election authority says the right-wing Law and Justice party has won 235 seats in the 460-seat lower house of parliament, meaning it has a majority and can govern alone.
The party is now in the strongest position a party has ever enjoyed in post-communist Poland to push through its program, a mix of conservative moral policies and plans for more state intervention in the economy.
Unlike past governments it will not have to make compromises with a coalition partner.
The party also enjoys a majority in the Senate, which has the power to amend or reject legislation, and has the backing of President Andrzej Duda, a former party member.
The party promises to lower the retirement age, tax large corporations and banks and give monthly family cash bonuses for children.
