WARSAW, Poland (AP) — The leaders of the Polish opposition parties that together won the most votes in last month’s election have signed a coalition agreement. The deal vows to restore the nation’s legal order and strengthen its international position and security in light of Russian aggression against neighboring Ukraine. The parties collectively won the Oct. 15 vote, but still will not have an immediate chance to try to form a government. The current governing Law and Justice party received more votes than any other single party but less than a majority. It will get the first chance to try to form a government — something widely viewed as doomed to fail.
