Poland: Conservative Karol Nawrocki Scores Surprise Win in Presidential Election
Sky News: Nawrocki aligned “himself with US conservatives, including Donald Trump, and showing scepticism towards the EU.”
Europe’s Liberal elites woke up to a shock on Monday morning as Poland’s Conservative candidate Karol Nawrocki defeated his left-wing rival in a nail-biting finish.
“Nawrocki won 50.9% percent of the votes – ahead of Warsaw’s liberal mayor Rafal Trzaskowski on 49.1% percent,” the BBC reported.
The outcome of the presidential election was so tight that the pro-EU candidate Trzaskowski declared himself victorious when early projections came in on Sunday night. “Trzaskowski had claimed victory after the first exit poll, while Nawrocki cautioned that the results were too close to call,” the broadcaster added.
Nawrocki, a candidate of the conservative Law and Justice (PiS) opposition party, poses a serious threat to Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s coalition government, which won the 2023 parliamentary election.
Nawrocki is expected to put a damper on Prime Minister Tusk’s pro-EU woke agenda. The rival candidate, “Trzaskowski, 53, had promised to ease abortion restrictions, introduce civil partnerships for LGBT+ couples and promote constructive ties with European partners,” Sky News (UK) noted. Nawrocki, instead, has aligned “himself with US conservatives, including Donald Trump, and showing scepticism towards the EU,” the TV channel added.

Reuters reported the election outcome:
Nationalist opposition candidate Karol Nawrocki narrowly won Poland’s presidential election, results showed on Monday, delivering a major blow to the centrist government’s efforts to cement Warsaw’s pro-European orientation.
In a victory for European conservatives inspired by U.S. President Donald Trump, Nawrocki secured 50.89% of the vote, election commission data showed, an outcome that presages more political gridlock as he is likely to use his presidential veto to thwart Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s liberal policy agenda.
Tusk’s government has been seeking to reverse judicial reforms made by the previous nationalist Law and Justice (PiS) government, but current President Andrzej Duda, a PiS ally, has blocked its efforts – a pattern Nawrocki is likely to continue.
Nawrocki’s rival, Rafal Trzaskowski, the liberal Warsaw mayor who was standing for Tusk’s ruling Civic Coalition (KO), got 49.11%, the data showed. Both candidates had declared victory immediately after the publication of an exit poll late on Sunday that showed the result would be very close.
The Polish election result is widely seen as a setback for the European Union and Europe’s left-wing establishment. “While Poland’s commitment to NATO is unlikely to change under Nawrocki’s presidency, there are concerns that coordination with the EU could suffer,” Poland’s public broadcaster TVP reported. “Nawrocki has voiced scepticism toward deeper EU integration, joint debt instruments and the Green Deal climate agenda.”
President-elect #Nawrocki said earlier:
“Let’s help others, but let’s take care of our own citizens first,” “If I become president, I will be guided by a simple but important principle: Poland first, Poles first.”
Congratulations Poland, with this patriotic President! 👍 pic.twitter.com/mGRP5IohG7

Europe’s mainstream media stunned as their smear campaign against Nawrocki fails
The mainstream European media complained that the smear campaign they peddled against the conservative Polish candidate did not dampen his support among the voters. “Right-wing Poland is back,” Germany’s Die Tageszeitung daily complained. “For the third consecutive time, Polish voters supported a right-wing populist. The dubious reputation of historian Karol Nawrocki didn’t deter them.”
“The winner of the Polish presidential election, Karol Nawrocki, stands for unconstrained right-wing populism,” German newspaper Die Süddeutsche Zeitung wrote in anguish. “This shouldn’t have happened.”
“The narrow victory of right-wing nationalist Karol Nawrocki does not bode well for Poland,” the widely-read German weekly Die Zeit claimed. Warsaw’s “pro-European government is paralyzed – and right-wing radicals are gaining momentum.”
French newspaper Le Monde introduced the news of the Polish leader with the headline: “Karol Nawrocki, from hooliganism to the presidency of Poland.” Poland’s president-elect was a “[b]luffer, combative, and sometimes disturbing,” according to the leading French daily.
Nawrocki is expected to promote Christian values and push back against wokism, media fears. Leftist candidate “Trzaskowski, a pro-EU progressive, backed abortion law liberalisation and civil partnerships for LGBTQ+ couples,” British newspaper The Guardian reported. “Nawrocki, who espouses conservative Catholic values, would probably veto any government attempt to implement such moves.”

Comments
now out the eu>>communistnazi loving clowns
its “funny”/sad that the constant theme from the left is that nato is the protector of the EU…..when in fact country after country is destroyed as easy as can be unless the usa sends in troops
( and doesnt allow the fjb army to build piers)
A good sign but let’s not get excited just yet. The leftists in the EU aren’t likely to let up.
.
Okay, so how do they now remove the Anti-Polish Tusk from his PM role?
Doesn’t Tusk have a parliamentary majority?
I don’t know. He might. He Might have a coalition.
Keeping track of foreign politics isn’t easy. I didn’t even known Poland was having elections until the results were announced.
There are still European courts to rule his party banned, or somehow violating the will of the people.
I’m surprised there isn’t a US district court judge ruling the election invalid. They’ve stepped so far outside their lane, I expect them to start ruling on other countries laws and elections any day.
Globalism in action! Woohoo!
One of the nonprogressive judges should just to make the point about how far out the progressive judges are. One on senior status of course since he is liable to be pilliored. However, it would be glorious.
The opposition is on a charter flight to Honolulu as I type.
That is a sharply divided electorate.
The Polish variation of Dewey Defeats Truman.
Good news, but, it’s dismaying that the vote was so close, when the evidence of the E.U.’s manifestly idiotic and ruinous immigration and “green”/environmental policies is so glaring and abundant; e.g., Islamofascist/Muslim supremacist riots in Paris, and, recent electricity blackouts in Spain — only the most recent examples of the respective leftist policy failures regarding energy and immigration issues.
Poland isn’t the untouched catholic country a lot of people like to imagine.
What this election shows is the conservative side needs to try to win important places not just hope that Eastern Europe will save the west because it won’t.
If 49% of Poles could vote for woke people so could anyone.
Like I said
lefty is still in charge even in the usa as the scotus lets the maryland ban on ar15s stand as the court refuses to hear the case
the lefty policies around the world still affected the usa
Was the left in charge when there was a nationwide injunction on the death penalty doomer?
If you have given up stop posting.
close vote or not
no matter the country/state/county/city
its always “divisive”
the msm loves to be biased and act like its only/more divisive when pro maga (types) are in at the helm
My favorite part of this election is that the left-wing “news” pages of The Wall Street Journal ran an article this morning crowing that Nawrocki “lost” (on the basis of exit polls–calling Al Gore!), “a result that would mark the latest rejection of the nationalist right in national elections around the world.” Oops! It’ll be interesting to see whether tomorrow’s paper declares Nawrocki’s win as a triumph of the nationalist right. The exit polls were wrong (again). The WSJ was wrong (again). And the Poles voted to check the power of the EU. Win-win-win!
It seems with each passing day that the WSJ news section (as contrasted with the Opinion pages) contemptibly moves further and further left.
Proof that once an institution lets one Dhimmi-crat/leftist fifth columnist through the doors, they spread their cancerous rot and propaganda with reliable alacrity.
From 2019 through 2022, the Journal partnered with Facebook to provide content for the social-media site’s “News Tab”. Facebook paid the Journal in excess of $10 million during that period, terminating the relationship as part of a broader shift away from news content.[85]
n June 2020, following the murder of George Floyd and subsequent protests, journalists at the Journal sent a letter to editor in chief Matt Murray demanding changes to the way the paper covers race, policing and finance. The reporters stated that they “frequently meet resistance when trying to reflect the accounts and voices of workers, residents or customers, with some editors voicing heightened skepticism of those sources’ credibility compared with executives, government officials or other entities”.[172]
^^^^^wsj just trying to keep their offices from being burnt to the ground^^^^
This election was always much closer than the lefty wokiesta legacy media forecasts. They’re PO b/c they keep losing close elections with a slim majority of.still sane voters in few former Eastern bloc Nations. The clearest example is to look at the difference in voting patterns in the former East Germany v the former West Germany, it is like comparing voting patterns between Alabama v Massachusetts. The folks who lived under Soviet Communist dominion do not want anything to do with lefty, wokiesta tyrants of the west.
Unless you’re Germany or France which runs it or Belgium which hosts it why would any country cede their sovereignty to the EU or vote for someone who would cede. Total madness,
Poland has been rocking it for some time now.
They need a better 2nd amendment protection though TBH.
poland ,,like many others,, are just waiting for their *reunification(S)* with their ussr/german masters
I’m surprised the EU let him win. They must have been caught off guard
49% to 51% is the definition of a very close election.
Part of the left’s campaign pitch included more abortion.
Poland is not the untouched Catholic country a lot of non-Polish conservatives think it is.
A significant portion of any human society is emotionally damaged enough to seek self destruction. Leftist political affiliation allows them to express their hatred of themselves and of humanity in a somewhat more sanitized fashion, but when faced with opposition their true intentions are revealed more clearly. Destroying self through unrestrained during use, annihilating community by fomenting tribalism, assaulting families by promoting a plethora of perversions, and corrupting thought via censorship and woke ideology all are designed to achieve a common purpose, which is to erase humanity by defeating our fundamental instincts for self preservation and propagation of the species. The EU has been so traumatized by their centuries of conflict that they have a head start towards eliminating themselves, but there is still some resistance. Poland leads the way for now, though we will soon see how The Empire Strikes Back!
“Unrestrained drug use” darn autocorrect!
This is a hopeful start.
