description This study examines the electoral defeat of Poland’s Law and Justice Party (PiS) and its significance for the future of right-wing populism in Poland and Europe. Utilising a comprehensive approach, it explores the populist policies implemented by PiS, the historical background of Polish elections, and the potential impact of the central coalition's electoral success on countering PiS populism. The article argues that while PiS's defeat signals a victory for Polish democracy and pluralism, the structural factors driving populism require ongoing attention. The findings suggest that addressing these factors is crucial for sustaining Poland’s commitment to pluralistic values. This research contributes to understanding populism's rise and the dynamics of political change in Poland, offering insights into broader European political trends.
