It was given at the top of second tour. Karol Nawrocki won Sunday’s Polish presidential election. He won against the liberal mayor of Warsaw, Rafal Trzaskowski, according to the official results published on Monday, inflicting a major blow on the country’s pro-European government.
According to data from the national electoral commission, Mr. Nawrocki won 50.89% of the votes against 49.11% for M Trzaskowski in the second round of the Sunday election, whose results highlight the polarization in the member country of NATO and the EU.
This nationalist historian specializing in the criminal world had obtained the support of the main right and justice opposition party (PIS, curator) and the Trump administration.
Karol Nawrocki, 42, was supported by the nationalist Pis which ruled Poland from 2015 to 2023, as well as by the outgoing conservative president Andrzej Duda.
With his slogan “Poland first, the Poles first”, he targeted the million Ukrainian refugees living in the country, member of NATO but also of the European Union, to which he is also critical.
If he is committed to maintaining Poland’s support in Ukraine, who has been fighting against the Russian army since February 2022, Karol Nawrocki opposes NATO membership in this neighboring country and denounces the aid granted to Ukrainian refugees in Poland.
