Poland's Landmark Election: What's Next for the Conservative Party?

After the landmark election in Poland, the nationalist Law and Justice (PiS) party has been voted out of power, paving the way for three opposition democratic parties to form a new government. However, the new ruling coalition will face challenges in undoing the changes made by PiS since 2015. The opposition parties have different programs and will need to work together to create a stable government. The new administration will also need to clean out PiS appointees from government positions and state-controlled corporations. Prosecutions are expected for alleged constitutional and rule of law violations. The change in government will also impact Poland's relationship with the European Union and other countries in Europe.
