Nawrocki leads in Polish choice: A head-to-head race is expected!
Slubice, Polen - Karol Nawrocki, the right -wing conservative presidential candidate in Poland, leads to the presidential election in the current forecasts and is 51 percent of the vote. His liberal rival, Rafał Trzaskowski, follows just 49 percent. The turnout was 71.7 percent, which speaks for high election motivation. This emerges from the post -election surveys in 500 polling stations and the sub -counts of 450 polling stations. In view of the statistical fault tolerance of 0.5 percentage points, the final election result remains open, and a victory of Trzaskowski is still possible. Both candidates gave themselves to victory after the closure of the polling stations.
On Sunday, May 18, 2025, the presidential elections take place, which are considered to be the directional for the political orientation of Poland. The incumbent President Andrzej Duda no longer competes after ten years. Nawrocki, who was previously director of the Museum of the Second World War in Gdansk and was supported by the Pi government party, rejects the EU migration and asylum pact and would like to terminate the European Green Deal. Trzaskowski, on the other hand, who appears as the city president of Warsaw and as a candidate of the citizens' platform (PO), supports close German-Polish relationships.
political forces and positions
In the political landscape, a total of 13 candidates compete, including Sławomir Mentzen from the right -wing extremist party Confederacja, which is 13 percent in surveys. Trzaskowski leads with 31 percent, while Nawrocki is currently 25 percent. Both candidates have different views of the German-Polish relationship. Nawrocki expressed sharp criticism of Trzaskowski and his supporter Donald Tusk and questions their views of Poland's security.
The voter mobilization will be decisive, especially for voters who do not enter the runoff election on June 1st. In the border region around Frankfurt (Oder) there are concerns that the political decisions of the candidates could have direct negative effects on the daily life of the residents. Trzaskowski supports the abolition of border controls to Germany, while residents in Slubice fear their education, culture and health care.
Current circumstances and electoral context
The presidential elections 2025 are particularly important because they could be interpreted as a referendum via the current government coalition. After the parliamentary elections on October 15, 2023 and the swearing-in of a new government under Prime Minister Donald Tusk on December 13, 2023, it is expected that the Polish judiciary was converted, which took place during the previous PIS government. President Duda has already rejected the new government laws of what the political climate is intensifying.
In summary, the outcome of the presidential election is not only for the future political orientation of Poland, but could also have significant effects on German-Polish relationships and national security. The voters are required to position themselves clearly if they go to election on May 18 - an election that could possibly have far -reaching consequences for the coming years.More information about the elections are in the reports of op-online.de and rbb24.de .
