Poland is holding an election Sunday that many view as its most important one since the 1989 vote that toppled communism
. At stake are the health of the nation's democracy, its legal stance on LGBTQ+ rights and abortion, and the foreign alliances of a country on NATO's eastern flank that has been a crucial ally to Ukraine. Political experts say the election will not be fully fair after eight years of governing by a conservative nationalist party that has eroded checks and balances to gain more control over state institutions, including the courts, public media and the electoral process itself.
The polls show that three opposition groups — Civic Coalition, Third Way and New Left — could together get a majority of seats in Parliament. The largest is the centrist Civil Coalition dominated by Donald Tusk, a former Polish prime minister and former European Union president. Tusk has vowed to restore the rule of law and to rebuild ties with the EU that became severely strained under Law and Justice.
