The Catholic Country of Poland May Not Be Conservative For Long | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

The results are in from an important weekend election in Poland, and opposition parties have secured enough votes to oust the Conservative ruling party from power. Three coalition parties won around 54% of the votes. Donald Tusk, a former president of the EU Council will try to form a centrist government. The Conservative Law and Justice Party won the most overall votes. However, it did not gain enough to continue running the country. Main issues in the election included abortion and the war in neighboring Ukraine. Manager of EWTN Central Europe, Iwo Bender, joins to share his reaction to the results and whether it was at all a surprise. Bender tells us what this says about Poland and the direction the country is headed. Currently Poland has a near-total ban on abortion. That said, Bender discusses what he thinks will happen under the new government and whether there is any indication they would try to expand abortion access. Poland is 90% Catholic. He explains what this election says about the state of the Catholic Church in Poland. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
