Polish President Andrzej Duda attends a meeting with local residents following his victory in a presidential election in Odrzywol, Poland, on Jul 13, 2020. WARSAW: Polish President Andrzej Duda has won five more years in power on a socially conservative, religious platform in a closely fought election that makes renewed confrontation with the European Union's executive likely.

However, he ran an acrimonious campaign laced with homophobic language, attacks on private media and accusations that Trzaskowski serves foreign interests. "Unfortunately, it seems like the other side has not learned lessons," Trzaskowski said."That is why we hear statements that the process of politicising the courts will be completed ... Unfortunately those in power do not want to reach out their hand to us."

Rifts are likely to be evident this week when EU leaders discuss the bloc's long-term budget, with Brussels facing growing calls for funding to be made conditional on respect for the rule of law.Hungary, another right-wing nationalist voice in central Europe, swiftly welcomed Duda's re-election.
