Poland’s prime minister won a vote of confidence in his cabinet after vowing to build a patriotic welfare state and win a “culture war” to defend traditional Catholic values.

Mateusz Morawiecki said he’ll continue the budget handouts that helped his nationalist Law & Justice Party clinch a new four-year term in last month’s elections and protect the central European nation from what he called the “social experiments” of gay rights activists.
