PM Kaczyński to Take American Leave
// Poland’s government is ready to deploy a U.S. base before the early election
Early election to Poland’s parliament will take place in late September. Prime Minister Jarosław Kaczyński is to announce it on Thursday. The election is likely to bring defeat to the ruling Law and Justice party of the Kaczyński brothers, and to bring the change of political power in the country. Nonetheless, the government will do everything, in the remaining time before the election, to approve the plan for deploying a U.S. missile base on Poland’s territory.
Poland’s ruling party, Law and Justice, decided to allow the early parliamentary election in the country. Prime Minister Jarosław Kaczyński will address the nation on Thursday, to announce that the election is to take place on September 30th. However, the ruling party is likely to suffer defeat in the election. Its popularity rating is falling.
Regardless of the outcome of the election, Poland’s foreign policy will change significantly. It will concern the key issues, such as the integration with Europe, the deployment of a U.S. missile base in the country, and the relations with Russia. In fact, the change of political power in Warsaw might positively affect its relations with Moscow.
However, the government of Jarosław Kaczyński will have enough time before the election to make a step which will definitely anger Moscow: it will sign an agreement with Washington on deploying a U.S. missile-defense base in Poland.
