Law And Justiceright Law and Justice (Prawo i Sprawiedliwość) (PiS) is a Polish central-right political party, established in 2001, by the Kaczyński brothers: Lech, the former justice minister and the current mayor of the capital, Warsaw, and Jarosław, who is the President of the party. A large proportion of party members came from various small member parties of the now defunct Akcja Wyborcza Solidarnosc coalition. In the 2001 elections PiS gained 44 (of 460) seats in the lower chamber of the Polish Parlaiment (Sejm) with 9.5% votes. The latest (May 2004) public opinion polls show that PiS is supported by approximately 15% of voters, making it the third leading political power. It is speculated that after the forthcoming elections PiS might come into a coalition with Platforma Obywatelska to form the future government. In the 2004 European Parliamentry elections, the party came in third, receiving 13% of votes and 7 of 54 seats reserved for Poland in the European Parliament, as part of the Union for a Europe of Nations. Political program PiS postulates a better public safety, reforming of the legal system to effectively fight the crime and stamping out corruption. It supports Poland's European Union membership but is somewhat sceptical towards current developments.
