“It’s neck and neck,” headlines Gazeta Wyborcza, with the two rivals in the second round of Poland’s presidential elections having more or less equal chances of winning.

Jarosław Kaczyński of the Law and Justice party (PiS) represents a “centralised and omnipotent” state. “The country’s future is in its citizens’ hands today,” writes Gazeta. “As you make your bed, so you must lie in it.”
