In Polen endeten die Wahlen 2005 mit einem Sieg der nationalkonservativen Partei 'Recht und Gerechtigkeit' (PiS). Die PiS wurde stärkste Partei und gewann mit ihrem Kandidaten Lech Kaczynski die Präsidentschaftswahl. Die Machtübergabe an die PiS ließ Bedenken über die Zukunft der polnischen Demokratie und Rechtsstaatlichkeit aufkommen, da die Partei und ihre Führer die Schaffung einer 'Vierten Republik' angekündigt hatten. Zudem kooperierte die PiS mit populistischen und nationalistischen Parteien, um ihrer Regierung eine parlamentarische Mehrheit zu verschaffen. Es gibt jedoch keine Anzeichen dafür, dass sich Polen zu einem autoritären System entwickelt würde. Die Machtpolitik der PiS-Regierung könnte vielmehr eine polarisierte Mehrheitsdemokratie einläuten.

'The 2005 Polish elections resulted in the victory of the national-conservative Law and Justice (PiS). PiS came out as the strongest party of the parliamentary elections, and its candidate Lech Kaczynski was the winner of the presidential contest. The power handover to PiS sparked concerns about the prospects of Polish democracy and the rule of law, since the party and its leaders had called for the creation of a 'Fourth Republic'. Moreover, PiS has cooperated with populist and nationalist parties to get majority support for its governments. However, there is no evidence that Poland might embark on a path towards authoritarianism. Rather, the power politics of the PiS administrations could enact the beginning of a form of polarized democracy and consistent majority rule.' (author's abstract)|... view less
