A guarantor of stability

In re-electing Donald Tusk and his Civic Platform (PO) the Poles have opted for stability and continuity, writes the conservative daily Magyar Nemzet: "In times of crisis people above all long for stability and dependability. Changes with uncertain outcomes are not an option for the voters. ... Although a growing number of people were dissatisfied with the PO's policies, Donald Tusk and his coalition were given the go-ahead despite their mistakes and weaknesses. The fact that the PO is currently considered a guarantor of Polish stability is decisive. Certainly, Tusk and his team also have their merits. After all, the Polish economy has been the only one not to plunge into recession in the depths of the crisis. A majority of Polish society also credits the Tusk government with having re-established a more sedate mood in the country after the turbulent years of the polemical Law and Justice party."
