Overview

  • Karol Nawrocki won the presidency with 50.89% of the vote in the June 1 runoff against Rafał Trzaskowski.
  • Nawrocki has branded Tusk the “worst prime minister since 1989” and pledged to use his veto power to oppose government initiatives.
  • Donald Tusk plans a June 11 confidence vote in parliament to demonstrate his coalition’s stability and commitment to reforms.
  • The president-elect’s nationalist and eurosceptic platform threatens to stall judiciary overhauls, abortion law liberalization and Poland’s EU and NATO alignment.
  • Nawrocki’s August inauguration is poised to heighten executive-legislative tensions and test the resilience of Tusk’s reform agenda.
