Nawrocki wins presidential election: political tensions in Poland increase!

KAROL NAWROCKI, a right -conservative historian, won the presidential election in Poland with about 51 percent of the vote. His challenger, Rafal Trzaskowski from the Liberal Conservative PO, received 49 percent. Nawrocki's victory is considered crucial for the political orientation of Poland, especially in view of the division that the election has apparently illustrated. Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier congratulated Nawrocki and emphasized the importance of German-Polish friendship, while the Brandenburg Prime Minister Dietmar Woidke optimistically expressed the future cooperation between Brandenburg and Poland. rbb24 reports that the new Poland officer of the Federal Government, Knut Abraham, the situation as difficult and possible breastfeeding in reforms, in particular In the areas of justice and abortion, referred.

Nawrocki, which is supported by the right-wing national PIS party in his political orientation, has significantly more power than its German counterpart and can block laws with a veto. This could significantly shape the political landscape of Poland and even lead to grave fights in parliament. Jaroslaw Kaczynski, the head of the PIS, is attributed to Nawrockis. The new president is described as an authoritarian personality who plans to bring the government of Donald Tusk to fall. n-tv reports that new elections are now not excluded and a question of trust from Tusk in parliament could be imminent.

The choice has far-reaching effects on German-Polish relationships. While Nawrocki also expressed anti -German and demanded reparation payments from Germany during his campaign, there is an assessment that there will be no drastic changes in relation to Germany under his presidency. rbb24 quotes Abraham, emphasizing that fundamental political parameters such as EU membership and the NATO support will remain.

However, Nawrocki is expected to continue the blockade policy of his predecessor, which could further heat the tensions with the EU and within Poland. While the PIS government restricted media freedom between 2015 and 2023 and converted the judiciary, the EU Commission sees the need to block funding due to violations of the separation of powers. Tusk had promised to undo the judicial reforms, but this process is in the stick.

view of the border region

In the border region around Frankfurt (Oder), the population is concerned about political developments. People are waiting for further decisions that could affect their quality of life, especially since daily border crossings are up to 17,000. Trzaskowski approved a lifting of the border controls, while Nawrocki sees it as a security risk for Poland. The results of this choice and the political orientation of Nawrockis could continue to burden the mood in the region and bring new challenges for the citizens.

The coming months will show which course the new president will actually take and whether the planned reforms and political changes can be realized.
