US EditionPoland Elects Euroskeptic Karol Nawrocki in Narrow Presidential Runoff
- Karol Nawrocki won Poland's presidential runoff against liberal Rafal Trzaskowski on June 1, 2025, in Warsaw with official results confirmed on June 2.
- The closely fought election followed high turnout and polarized voters amid issues like migration and European integration, with Nawrocki backed by Trump and Trzaskowski by Prime Minister Tusk.
- Nawrocki, a 42-year-old nationalist historian supported by the Law and Justice party, opposed Ukraine's NATO membership and faced controversies related to his past during the campaign.
- Nawrocki won 50.89% of the vote versus Trzaskowski’s 49.11%, with Nawrocki declaring, "We will win and we will save Poland," signaling a major setback for the pro-EU government.
- Nawrocki's victory may embolden conservative forces, challenge Tusk’s EU-oriented agenda, and affect Poland's relations with Brussels and Ukraine amid ongoing political tensions.
