It was an election triggered and largely overshadowed by a tragedy. The Polish presidential elections, due to be held in October but brought forward after the plane crash in April that killed the president Lech Kaczynski, began over the weekend. The results of the first round are largely as predicted - a narrow victory for the country's acting leader and parliamentary speaker, the liberal Bronislaw Komorowski. What does the election so far tell us about a country still reeling from a tradegy?
