The countryside region and the Eastern provinces of Poland elected the candidate of the Ruling Conservative Party-Law and Justice (Prawwn i Sprawiediwosc (PiS) by a margin of 500000 votes (51.2%) compared to (48.8%) of the Liberal Mayor of Warsaw, Rafal Trzaskowski of the Citizens Platform (Platforma Obywatelska)
The struggle of power remains
The prevalence of his candidate (PiS) towards the mayor of Warsaw was marginal, indicating that the power struggle between the popular right of PiS and the pro-European, liberal movement Citizens Platform remains active.
The third party is informally all that population of Polish voters who do not vote and make up a third of the electorate. The appeal of the Polish Government’s head of Polish Abroad issues through the Catholic Church to believers around the world that ” The homeland invites compatriots to Catholic mobilization. It is a polarizing option that will determine the shape of the homeland for generations to come” adopted in part.

PiS’s electoral argument that prevailed as a fear in society
In the previous elections (2016), PiS to rally its voters used the fear of immigrants and the migration problem in general.
The new rallying argument used by PiS was the “LGBT (homosexual) ideology that Duda described as “neo-Bolshevisms more dangerous than communism.”
To convince the older PiS voters who make up the most important chunk of his voters, television slogans such as: “Trzaskowski fights Catholics”, “Trzaskowski in favor of LGBT”.
At the same time, they accused the candidate of Citizens Platforma of being an agent of foreign interests. But what proved to be the real prop for PiS to win the election was the gradually accumulated political capital built from 2016 onwards through the pursuit of a broad social policy.
This broad social policy has created the conditions for ‘social security of citizens’ by providing a significant amount of social benefits.
Social benefits were extremely necessary to be provided since the transformation of the centrally planned economy into the free market economy, which began in 1989, left lasting social wounds mainly in the countryside region and the eastern provinces of the country which are also those regions that have so far given the electoral victory continuously for three decades to the popular right of Poland.
