POLAND, AUG 6 – Karol Nawrocki, backed by the Law and Justice party, won a narrow June election and vows to prioritize Polish sovereignty and challenge the centrist government’s EU and NATO policies.
- Karol Nawrocki was sworn in on Wednesday as Poland's president in Warsaw, beginning a five-year term as a conservative historian and political newcomer.
- Nawrocki secured a slim win in the June runoff with the backing of the right-wing Law and Justice party, during a campaign supported by President Trump and American conservative organizations.
- His presidency faces controversy due to a scandal over a Gdansk apartment and links to underworld figures, while his supporters emphasize his traditional values and tough persona.
- A recent survey found 62.1% of Poles see risk of conflict between Nawrocki and Prime Minister Tusk, with Nawrocki pledging legislative action that could undermine Tusk’s centrist government.
- Nawrocki’s inauguration likely signals a nationalist shift that could strain relations with Kyiv and complicate Poland’s domestic politics and foreign policy.
