Politisches System, Stabilitätsindikatoren und demokratische Institutionen

Poland is governed by a semi-presidential system with a newly elected president from the opposition and a prime minister leading a multi-party ruling coalition. Recent structural reforms aim to increase government efficiency, while political power remains divided between the presidency and the cabinet. The country continues to play a significant role in European Union affairs.
