In Poland’s tense presidential run-off, candidates Rafał Trzaskowski and Karol Nawrocki held rival rallies ahead of the June 1 vote, with Trzaskowski leading narrowly in the first round. Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s involvement has been controversial, with polls indicating it may harm Trzaskowski’s campaign, as he faces backlash over broken promises, including on abortion rights. The outcome hinges on undecided voters, with Trzaskowski needing to attract far-right and progressive supporters while navigating Nawrocki’s controversial ties and recent agreements with far-right candidate Sławomir Mentzen.
