Warsaw, Poland – 01 June: King Navaroroki, presidential candidate of the Law and Justice (PIS), gestures when he comes with his family to reject the ballot at the polling station during the Polish presidential run on June 01, 2025 in War. Today’s elections are a well -disputed race between Novoroki and Rafal Trzaskouski, the Liberal Mayor of Warsaw, which is supported by Prime Minister Donald Tusk. The election is considered as a test whether the government with its central parliamentary coalition can overcome the rights of populism, which is embodied in the IP.

The nationalist Karol Navarokok, supported by US President Donald Trump, took the Polish presidency in a rigid race that causes trouble for the current EU government in the country.
Final count He showed Narodarok, who advocated the party of opposition law and justice (PIS), which lost the majority in 2023, provided 50.89% of the vote against 49.11% of the Warsaw mayor Rafal Trzaskovsky. Early results, published before closed polls, put liberal.
Nawrocki will succeed in Conservatives Andrzei Duda, who himself won the leadership with a useful benefit against Trzaskoye in 2020-five-year term, and then stands for re-election once.
The Polish elections looked closely in Europe, the United States and fought with the neighbors of Eastern Europe of Russia and Ukraine when raising questions about the strength of the future coordination of Warsaw with Brussels and Kiev.
The role of the head of state in Poland is obscured in the parliament, but the president maintains a critical veto over the legislation. Duda has carried out this to block several reforms led by Prime Minister Donald Tusk coalition.
Eurosceptic Nawrocki can also provide significant setbacks to the former European Council of Tusk, who repaired a broken relationship with Brussels and loosely unlocked payments to up 137 billion euros ($ 156 billion) EU funds that were frozen on the rules of the law.
Country 37 million and the sixth largest EU economy was the largest pure beneficiary EU funds in 2024.
“I am sure the EU will continue its good cooperation with Poland. We are all stronger together in our community of peace, democracy and values,” said EU President of the EU Commission on Monday On the X Social Media Platform. “So, let’s work on ensuring the safety and well -being of our common home.”

During the Nawrocki campaign, he took a more critical position to Kiev, citing Ukrainian president of the Loladir Zelenskyi allegedly poor treatment Poland. He also excluded a long time ago, which was experiencing a fighting ambition to Nato-is a step that was afraid to abolish the military coalition against Russian hostilities.
Right populism test in Europe
Critically, the Polish presidential drain was the last test of the rise of right populism in Europe, again after the Maga under the leadership of Trump in November. The Novaroka victory violated a series of more liberal victories achieved in Romania and Portugal in May.
US Internal Security Minister Christie Noah called on the Polish voters to pull up support for Navaroka during the first in the history of the Conservative Political Action Conference in Poland last week, expanding his opponent Pra-Es Tzaskovsky as “an absolute crash of the leader’s train”.
“Donald Trump is a strong leader for us, but you have the opportunity to have the same strong leader in the king when you make it the leader of this country,” – she said. “You can be this brilliant city on the hill, which the rest of Europe and the world will look and know how strong you are, how free you are because you have chosen the right leader who will protect him and protect him.”
Poland has maintained good relations with Washington, especially in the field of security, where it evades the wider criticism of Trump against – mostly European NATO allies, which have historically not reached a 2% GDP defense goal. Poland has exceeded this benchmark over the past five years by logging in a 4.12% Contribution In 2024, the U.38% of the US-and investment in the American arsenal, ranging from Jets F-35 to Abramsa tanks.
