The Law and Justice Party (PiS) is a political party in Poland, founded in 2001. It is known for its conservative and nationalist policies, focusing on issues such as family values, social welfare, and national sovereignty. The party has been a significant force in Polish politics, particularly since it won the parliamentary elections in 2015. Under the leadership of Jarosław Kaczyński, the party has implemented various reforms, including changes to the judiciary and media. These actions have sparked debates about the rule of law and democratic standards in Poland, leading to tensions with the European Union over issues related to judicial independence and media freedom.
