#live #nato #poland
In a heated televised debate, Poland’s presidential candidates Rafał Trzaskowski and Karol Nawrocki faced off ahead of the June 1, 2025, run-off election. The centrist Warsaw mayor Trzaskowski, backed by Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s pro-EU coalition, and the Eurosceptic historian Nawrocki, supported by the populist Law and Justice (PiS) party, clashed over critical issues: Poland’s support for Ukraine, Ukraine’s potential NATO membership, and stalled domestic reforms like abortion and judicial changes. With polls showing a tight race—Trzaskowski at 31.4% and Nawrocki at 29.5% in the first round—and far-right voters potentially decisive, rival marches and heightened tensions underscore the election’s stakes. The outcome will determine whether Tusk’s liberal agenda advances or faces continued obstruction, shaping Poland’s role in a volatile geopolitical landscape.
