Globalism Loses: National Conservative Polish President Wins Election

by Jack Montgomery

Polish president Andrzej Duda has seen off a challenge from the globalist Mayor of Warsaw in a tight presidential race.

President Duda, the ad hoc candidate for the traditionalist Law and Justice (PiS) party, has won 51.2 per cent of the vote with more than 99 per cent of ballots counted, defeating Rafal Trzaskowski, the globalist, europhile candidate for the Civic Platform (PO) party — described somewhat dubiously as “centre-right” or “liberal-conservative” by much of the mainstream media.

Nevertheless, that the race was so close in what is almost certainly the most conservatively minded country in the developed world is notable.

Poland’s democracy is more parliamentary than presidential, with Duda serving as head of state but not head of government — a role fulfilled by Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki — but he nevertheless has an important role in the political process, with powers to veto legislation, ratify (or repudiate) treaties, and so on.

Duda came under sustained attack during the campaign for saying he would “defend children from LGBT ideology” if given a second term — a statement represented by the president’s enemies as a pledge to roll back gay rights or otherwise persecute sexual minorities.

Duda’s supporters, however, say he was actually referring to the importation of such phenomena such as “drag queen story hour”, graphic sex education related to non-conventional relationships in schools, and hormone and gender reassignment surgery for children.

“Parents are responsible for the sexual education of their children,” Duda said, vowing to “protect the interests of the family” and “defend the institution of marriage”.
