The leaders of the Polish opposition parties that together won the most votes in last month’s election signed a coalition agreement on Friday that vows to restore the nation’s legal order and strengthen its security in light of Russian aggression against neighbouring Ukraine.

The parties collectively won the October 15 vote, but still will not have an immediate chance to try to form a government.
