The Polish opposition announced on Thursday the challenge to the results of the presidential election in which outgoing President Andrzej Duda, narrowly supported by the populist Right and Justice Party (PiS), won by a narrow margin.

The Civic Platform Party (PO), whose candidate the liberal and Europeanist Rafal Trzaskowski lost in the elections of July 12, has filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court for irregularities and accusing public television TVP of political bias . In addition, they request the annulment of the elections.

The elections were not fair, since the "state apparatus as a whole" supported the ultra-conservative Duda, said Thursday Borys Budka, the leader of the PO, the formation that supported the candidacy of the defeated Trzaskowski

According to the PO, the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party participated directly in the election of Duda and put resources of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at its service, in addition to involving the public media to achieve his reelection.

Despite complaints from the opposition, Andrzej Duda will be sworn in for a new term on August 6 . The President of the Polish Parliament, Elzbieta Witek, of the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party, convened for that day the National Assembly, which is made up of the lower and upper chambers and whose task is to proceed to the inauguration of the president.

In that session, Duda is expected to take office for a second term, after he was re-elected last Sunday.
