WARSAW, Poland (AP) – When Adam Jerzy Kowalewski steps into a voting booth on Sunday, his choice will be shaped by deep Roman Catholic faith and reverence for his late father, who was tortured by the Germans during World War II for taking part in Poland’s anti-Nazi resistance.
Only one party suits the 43-year-old: Law and Justice, a political force that mixes conservative and patriotic values with promises to do more to help the disadvantaged.
He is impressed that party leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski’s father – like his own father – was part of the anti-Nazi resistance. “Law and Justice is made up of people who love God and who love the country,” he said.
Kowalewski, who listens to gospel and other religious music, shares the party’s opposition to abortion and homosexuality.
The party’s economic proposals are also close to his heart.
