"Poland Sets Election Date: President Reveals Key Decision"

Poland's President Andrzej Duda has announced that the country's general election will take place on October 15. The ruling nationalist Law and Justice party (PiS) currently leads in the polls, but faces opposition from the center-right Civic Coalition, which frames the election as a chance to restore the rule of law and hold PiS accountable for corruption scandals. PiS has clashed with the EU over changes to the legal system, but Poland has gained international standing through its support for Ukraine and increased defense spending. The outcome of the election is expected to be close.
