The local elections in Poland are crucial to determine the level of backing for Premier Donald Tusk's pro-European direction, following the end of conservative nationalist rule. The outcome will have implications for the European Parliament elections in June.
The electoral contest is a litmus test for Tusk's coalition government's policies, particularly regarding reversing previous government changes perceived as breaching democratic standards. Slow progress on reforms exposes challenges, such as reforming the judiciary system and addressing abortion laws.
Prime Minister Tusk emphasizes the significance of Civic Coalition's victory to prevent a resurgence of nationalist rule. Achievements like unlocking EU funds after enacting reforms display the stakes involved in the election's outcome.
