From Our Own Correspondent: Talking Shop with Poland's Grocers

Alex Duval Smith weighs up the economic and political future in Warsaw. Can small businesses - and traditional Polish values - survive in an ever more borderless Europe?

A special essay from Alex Duval Smith weighs up the economic and political future in Warsaw. Polish voters surprised the rest of the EU recently by rejecting the "Civil Platform" government of the last eight years to elect the more traditionalist and inward-looking Law & Justice Party. Over the past decade, Poland has welcomed foreign businesses, brands and lifestyle, but will that last? We take a view from a family-owned small business.
