The "Independence March" in Warsaw , Poland 's Independence Day , is a major event in the Polish right-wing nationalist calendar.

The national-conservative Law and Justice ( PiS ) party led by Jaroslaw Kaczynski has been in opposition since losing last fall's election.

Since Donald Trump's victory in last week's US presidential election, the previously deflated PiS has been buoyed by new hope.

Duda praised America 's significance for the restoration of the Polish state 106 years ago and Poland 's security in Europe today .

New Polish president will not have much time to deepen ties with Trump .
