Poland faces a critical presidential run-off between pro-EU Warsaw Mayor Rafal Trzaskowski and conservative historian Karol Nawrocki, backed by the right-wing Law and Justice party. The election reflects deep ideological divides regarding the country’s European Union ties and judicial reforms. Trzaskowski aims to advance liberal democratic principles, while Nawrocki upholds traditional values with skepticism towards the EU. As both candidates navigate a politically charged environment, their views on security, immigration, and Ukraine further delineate their contrasting visions for Poland’s future.
"The campaign has highlighted stark ideological divides, with the outcome expected to determine whether Poland continues along a nationalist path or pivots more decisively towards liberal democratic norms."
"Trzaskowski has promised to restore judicial independence, ease abortion restrictions and promote constructive ties with European partners, contrasting sharply with Nawrocki's traditionalist values."
