On October 15 2023, Poland held pivotal parliamentary elections. And for the first time, young people took to the ballot box in record numbers.
The coalition of progressive and pro-European parties won the parliamentary elections. The Law and Justice party (PiS) no longer has a majority and can no longer impose its traditionalist and ultra-conservative vision.
Between Paris and Warsaw, we met two Poles who voted against the PiS, hoping for change. But will the mobilisation of young people and their desire for something new be enough to counter the conservative turn taken by the PiS? Ania and Radek want to believe it will.
