The presidential run-off looks like a neck-and-neck race between centre-right candidate Bronislaw Komorowski and the late president’s conservative brother Jaroslaw Kaczynski, if some opinion polls are to believed.

Michal Kubicki looks at the possible outcomes on Sunday, when Poland goes to the polls in the second round of the presidential elections.

But what choice is there for Polish voters? Both candidates are social conservative Catholics; both are veterans of the Solidarity movement. But real differences can be found.

“The two candidates have a completely different view of the state,” says journalist Marek Magierowski. Kaczynski sees a more interventionist role for government in the economy, while Komorowski is often described as being more “pro business” and sees a greater role for the free market. (pg)
