And they will get no majority.

Yes, it'll take a bit longer until the current opposition is in power, but it will happen eventually.

For example Austria's president Viktor Klima in 1999 gave the election winner SPร– the first Chance to form a government, but after weeks (I think even months) of negotiations they failed and the running-up party had a majority ready.

Viktor Klima was never a president in Austria, he was Chancelor. President back then was Thomas Klestil.

And the situation was different, there was a realistic chance for the SPร– to form a government, as they had a majority together with their former coalition partner (who rather made a goverment with the radical-right then)

In Poland, PiS has no chance whatsoever to form a government, as three opposition parties have a majority and publicly stated that they will form a government together. So, its just Duda giving his buddies another month to be corrupt and hide/cleanup what they have done.

Oops, yes I meant Klestil
