The European country chooses between conservative historian Karol Nawrocki and pro-EU Warsaw mayor Rafal Trzaskowski.
Poland is holding a pivotal presidential run-off between pro-EU Mayor Rafal Trzaskowski and conservative historian Karol Nawrocki, with significant implications for the nation’s EU relations. Trzaskowski aims to enhance judicial independence and foster ties with Europe, while Nawrocki, endorsed by the right-wing PiS party, emphasizes traditional values and skepticism towards the EU. The election follows a close first round, and the outcome will reveal Poland’s ideological direction amidst rising security concerns and immigration debates.
