Karol Nawrocki's election as Poland's president, with 50.89% of the vote, marks a significant rise in far-right politics in Europe and presents challenges for center-right Prime Minister Donald Tusk. Supported by the nationalist Law and Justice (PiS) party, Nawrocki's win influences foreign and defense policy and complicates Tusk's attempts to implement reforms. His ability to veto legislation, which can only be overturned with a strong parliamentary majority that Tusk lacks, heralds a shift in Poland’s political landscape ahead of the next elections in 2027.
Nawrocki's victory, with 50.89% of votes, signals a setback for Tusk's pro-EU reforms, bolstering far-right sentiments in Poland and across Europe.
Nawrocki's role, while largely ceremonial, comes with significant influence over foreign and defense policy and the ability to veto laws passed by Tusk's coalition.
