波兰总统布罗尼斯瓦夫·科莫罗夫斯基承认在周日的选举中败北，官方结果将于今天晚些时候揭晓，但选举后民调显示科莫罗夫斯基和中间偏右政府以53%对47%输给保守派对手安杰伊·杜达。亚当·伊斯顿在华沙报道。
“如果消息得到证实，那么这是安杰伊·杜达取得的巨大胜利，与受欢迎的总统相比他是个相对默默无闻的人。这对于杜达保守的法律和正义党来说，是10年来取得的第一次胜利。公民纲领党执政了8年，目前看来民调对该党领导的中间偏右政府已经厌倦了，该党是总统科莫罗夫斯基的后盾。经济的持续发展意味着波兰逐渐赶上西欧的生活标准，但很多波兰人并没有感到发展带来的变化，他们投票要求变革。”

“这是个神奇之夜，是西班牙具有历史性的一晚，它直接指向变革。自豪是促进这场变革的动力，西班牙两党政治的终结将在今天被书写，执政党得到其历史上最糟糕的结果。”
