Polityka zagraniczna Prawa i Sprawiedliwości w latach 2005–2011. Próba bilansu

Up until the parliament and president election of 2005, the Citizens’ Platform and the Law and Justice were considered twin parties. The reason for that was, that both parties originated from the Solidarity movement and expressed similar values (the need to settle accounts with PPR, decommunisation, public figures’ inspection and general aversion to communism). Polish political scene’s observers in their analysis were frequently omitting some important differences shown in economical concepts and in the foreign policies of both parties. Not until after 2005 when the two camps got drastically divided, the differences in basic matters of both parties programme were emphasized. This also concerned foreign affairs. During the time when Donald Tusk’s government holds power for the second term of office, it is worth to bring up certain guidelines and a practical side of foreign policy conducted by the Law and Justice.
