Polish Ruling-Party Candidate Pushes Back Against Far Right

Rafal Trzaskowski, Mayor of Warsaw, narrowly won the first round and will face Karol Nawrocki in a June 1 runoff for Poland's presidency.
Nawrocki supports eight policy conditions from far-right leader Slawomir Mentzen, while Trzaskowski declined to sign but agreed on key issues like no new taxes or sending soldiers to Ukraine.
The candidates debated Ukraine policy during a Saturday YouTube debate, where Trzaskowski firmly opposed Mentzen's stance against Ukraine joining NATO.
An Ipsos poll shows both candidates tied at 47%, and both plan parallel marches in Warsaw on Sunday to rally voters before the runoff.
The runoff election represents a critical choice for Poland's future, as Nawrocki's win could remove Prime Minister Tusk's ally Trzaskowski from power.
