In a 74% turnout which puts our recent electoral performances to shame, Polish citizens have voted out of office the Law and Justice party. One trusts that the worst of the reactionary legislation which Law and Justice has been responsible for will be removed and the incoming government will cease to interfere in the appointment of judges. All that would reduce nightmares for the European Commission and enable normal relations, including the flow of support, to resume.
The thorny problems of Ukrainian refugees and that country's agricultural produce may well remain to be solved, but the prospect of restoring full civil rights in Poland puts pressure on Hungary to do the same.
