But employees of Polish Post, the state-run postal administration, say the plan puts them at risk.

Poland's ruling Law and Justice party (PiS) defied exit polls to secure a decisive victory in European parliamentary elections, dashing early hopes among pro-EU opposition candidates.

In the end, more than 45 per cent of votes went to the nationalist, eurosceptic PiS, which has long been at loggerheads with Brussels over judicial independence and allegations of authoritarianism.

Donald Tusk's term as president of the European Council will end on 30 November, which is perfect timing for the Polish opposition.

After the parliamentary election in late October, Poland will hold its presidential election in April 2020, and opposition voters already see Tusk as the only viable candidate.

Leader of the Polish Conservative party Andrzej Duda has won the Presidential elections in the country, held Sunday.

He secured the majority of votes with 53%, thus defeating current President Bronislaw Komorowski, who got 47% public trust.

The final results are to be announced later Monday evening.
