Conservative Karol Nawrock won the second round of Sunday presidential in Poland, with 50.89% of the votes, against 49.11% of the rival, liberal Rafal Trzaskowski, after the scrutiny of the entire votes.
In a very close dispute, on the second round of Sunday, the Poland elected Karol Nawrocki as a new president.
The official announcement was only made at dawn on Monday by the National Electoral Commission, after a scrutiny of several hours.
The strongly disputed presidential race has kept the Poles suspended since the first lap two weeks ago, anxiety that has extended throughout the morning of today, revealing deep divisions in the country, eastern flank of NATO and the European Union.
One first poll in the mouth of the ballot box released on Sunday night suggested that Rafal Trzaskowski was on his way to victory.
However, hours later, updated polls began to reverse the scenario. And the winner of the night was the amateur historian and boxer Karol Nawrocki.
Karol Nawrock, 42, obtained the support of the main opposition party Law and Justice (PIS, conservative) and US administration.
Euro -supported Euro
The result indicates that Poland should follow a most nationalist path under the command of his new leader, who was supported by the president of the United States, Donald Trump.
In addition to criticizing Ukraine’s adhesion to the European Union and the NATO, the president -elect of Poland recently said that It intends to reduce the aid to Ukrainian refugees in Polish territory.
Even so, Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he expects fruitful cooperation With Poland despite criticism from Karol Nawrockki. The Ukrainian President said he also wants to have a good personal relationship with Nawrockki.
In a reaction in the X, the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyenhe said he was “trusting that the EU will continue its excellent cooperation with Poland ”.
“All together we are stronger in our community of peace, democracy and values. We will work to ensure the safety and prosperity of our Common House,” he wrote.
Friction with the Prime Minister
Nawrocki It will happen to Andrzej doubta conservative whose second and last term ends on August 6.
This election is a Headache for Prime Minister Donald Tuskwhich has led a government coalition of a broad ideological spectrum since 2023 that it was not able to fulfill some of the head of government’s electoral promises, such as the reform of the restrictive law of abortion.
It is expected that Nawrocki comes reinforce obstacle policy that its predecessor was already starring in Tusk, preventing it, for example, from fulfilling the promises of revealing laws that politicized the judicial system in a way that the European Union declared to be unnamed.
It now seems impossible for Tusk to be able to fulfill these promises he made – both to the Polish voters and the European Union.
