US EditionPoland Elects Euroskeptic Karol Nawrocki in Narrow Presidential Runoff
- On June 1, 2025, Poland held a closely contested presidential runoff in Warsaw between conservative Karol Nawrocki and liberal Rafal Trzaskowski, with both claiming victory.
- The polarized election reflected deep social divides and focused on issues such as judicial independence, EU relations, and national identity amid a politically fractured landscape.
- Nawrocki, running on conservative Christian values and opposition to Ukraine's NATO plans, faced controversies over his past, while Trzaskowski represented the pro-EU centrist government seeking progressive reforms.
- Late exit polls projected Nawrocki winning 51 percent to Trzaskowski's 49 percent, though official results were pending, and Nawrocki declared, "We will win and we will save Poland."
- If confirmed, Nawrocki's win could halt liberal policy agendas, heighten tensions with Brussels, and alter Poland's role in Europe and support for Ukraine amid possible renewed political deadlock.
