| − | Andrzej Duda '''(Born 16 May 1972)''' is the fifth [[President-elect]] of [[Poland]] in eastern [[Europe]]. He is a member of the pro-[[Christian]], pro-[[free market]], pro-[[traditional marriage]] Law and Justice Party, which controlled the Presidency from 2005-2010 and would have done so longer had popular President [[Lech Kaczynski]] not been killed in a suspicious plane crash in [[Russia]] <ref>http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8612825.stm</ref>. He defeated the [[liberal]] President Bronisław Komorowski on May 25, 2015 in a runoff election to become the fifth President-elect of Poland since 1990, in a result which, along with smashing [[Conservative]] victories in the UK, likely heralds the decline of liberalism both in Poland and in [[Europe]] as a whole. | + | '''Andrzej Duda''' (Born 16 May 1972) is the fifth [[President-elect]] of [[Poland]] in eastern [[Europe]].
