  • The Polish PM also outlined his confidence that the PiS will head for a third consecutive election victory next year, with the governing party looking to make the voting and election process more transparent, according to DGP Daily.
  • The PM added that judiciary reform will soon be completed, with the changes effective from the next parliamentary term. Elsewhere in the interview, a decision on a potential extension of the anti-inflation shield is to be made at the turn of the year. Mechanisms for freezing gas prices are also under discussion in government.
