Karol Nawrocki has been elected President of Poland after a narrow second-round win over liberal, pro-EU rival Rafal Trzaskowski. A conservative nationalist and EU skeptic, Nawrocki’s victory signals a deepening ideological rift in Polish politics and a blow to pro-European Prime Minister Donald Tusk. Nawrocki holds strong veto power, potentially blocking Tusk’s progressive reforms on EU alignment and abortion rights. His presidency, rooted in historical revisionism, may shift Poland further from Brussels—and reshape its national identity in the process.

Poland has elected nationalist historian Karol Nawrocki as president in a razor-thin runoff, overturning early polls and crushing liberal hopes overnight. Backed by Donald Trump, Nawrocki’s controversial win signals a shift toward far-right identity politics, Holocaust revisionism, and potential clashes with the European Union. This deeply divided nation now faces growing political fractures and international concern over the future of democracy, civil rights, and historical truth in Eastern Europe. What does Nawrocki’s presidency mean for Poland’s role in NATO, its relations with Russia, and the broader European security landscape? Watch as we break down the explosive aftermath of this election and its far-reaching impact.
