Poland is a politically stable country.  Constitutional transfers of power are orderly.  The last presidential elections took place in May 2015 and parliamentary elections took place in October 2015; observers considered both elections free and fair.  The new government formed in November 2015. There was a change of the Prime Minister in December 2017 and a major government reshuffle in January 2018. Local elections took place in October 2018. Elections to the European Parliaments will take place in May 2019.  The next parliamentary elections are scheduled for the fall of 2019. The next presidential election is scheduled for May 2020.

There have been no confirmed incidents of politically motivated violence toward foreign investment projects in recent years.  Poland has neither insurgent groups nor belligerent neighbors.  The Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) provides political risk insurance for Poland but it is not frequently used, as competitive private sector financing and insurance are readily available.
