A Polish party known for its hostility toward the European Union and wariness of the nation’s unconditional support for Ukraine is making gains with voters six months before an election. 

Confederation — an alliance of far-right and liberal factions calling for scrapping the income tax, banning abortion and curbing migration — almost doubled its backing in recent months to 11%, according to an Ipsos opinion poll.
