Polish President Andrzej Duda on Sunday, the anniversary of his electoral victory over then-incumbent Bronislaw Komorowski in 2015, praised the ruling camp’s welfare policies and its focus on government support for strategic businesses.

Speaking to Polish public Radio One, Duda said he was proud of the 500 Plus child benefit programme that the ruling party, the conservative Law and Justice (PiS), introduced soon after taking over power from the centrist Civic Platform – Polish People’s Party (PO-PSL) coalition.
