Poland’s conservative president to be a difficult opponent for PM

The elected President of Poland Carol Naroki largely plays a ceremonial role, but his impact on the country’s policy over the next five years may be deep.

Proponents of Nawrocki, national conservative law and justice (PIS) opposition, felt again confused after losing power 18 months ago to Donald Tusk’s coalition for pro-EU and considered his success as the first step towards the return of power.

The President of Poland has a limited impact on foreign and defense policy, but may also propose vetoes. The Tusk government lacks a large enough parliamentary majority to cancel the presidential veto.

Outgoing Conservative President Andrzej Duda uses his blocking powers to prevent the Prime Minister from fulfilling many of his key promises on the campaign.

These include giving the right to Polish women to legal abortion until the 12th week of pregnancy, legalizing civil partnerships, including same-sex relations, accelerating the development of wind farm land and eliminating political influence from the judiciary.

Nawrocki, a socially conservative 42-year-old historian, is expected to be an even tougher opponent of Tusk than Duda. Some believe that the resulting paralysis may tempt the government to hold early elections before the planned end of the fall of 2027.

“In all likelihood, this will mean early elections, as it will veto every law that the government is passing,” Constanti Gaybert, a journalist for a weekly magazine Kultura Liberalna, told the BBC.

“Constitutional, the early elections are difficult to make if the government does not want them, but if it is from defeat to victory and cannot rule, they can decide that they are less evil,” he explained.

The Tusk government has a parliamentary majority, so it can remain in office until the fall of 2027, unless the coalition breaks down.

This union includes the Conservative People’s Party, Centralists and Leftists, which is a key reason why Tusk has not reached an agreement on issues such as abortion and civic partnerships.

Alternatively, the government may decide that the early elections are in the best interest.

Nawrocki is a proud Polish patriot, a conservative Catholic who opposes illegal migration, expands the legitimate rights of people in same -sex relations and liberalizes the strict law on abortion of the country.

He believes that Tusk’s vision for cementing Poland in the EU mainstream, relying on good relations with Brussels, Berlin and Paris opposes the Polish national interests. These interests are best served, he says, standing against Germany when their opinions diverge and no longer overcome Brussels powers. Nawrocki opposes EU climate proposals as a green transaction, as it says limiting greenhouse gas emissions will harm small Polish farmers.

Nawrocki supports the continuing military and humanitarian assistance of neighboring Ukraine. Poland is home to the International Delivery Center in Kyiv. But he does not believe that Ukraine joins NATO or the EU, while Russian aggression continues, intensifying Poland’s security.

He is a supporter of US President Donald Trump and criticizes Ukraine’s approach President Volodimir Zelenski to take over during scandalous oval office dressingS US Interior Security Secretary Christie November flew to Poland a few days before the election approves the funers, a keen amateur boxer, calling him a “strong” leader as Trump.

The result of the election was close, similar to the one won by Duda against the Liberal Mayor of Warsaw Rafal Trzaskovsky five years ago, a sign that the political polarization of the country was not relieved.

In a premature speech to win after an exit poll, he gave him a razor victory as soon as the vote ended on Sunday night, Tzaskowski promised to be president for all poles.

Speaking at the same time, the funerals did not make such promises. Instead, he told his supporters that his campaign was able to combine the “Patriotic Camp” in Poland. No candidate has inspired the confidence that they would make constructive efforts to reach the other side.

The prolonged conflict between the two political groups that have dominated Polish policy for two decades can become enhanced support for parties to combat establishment, such as the far -right Confederation or the Hard Left.

The young libertarian candidate of the Confederation Slawomir Mentzen continued the recent winnings of the group, and third in third place in the first round of the presidential election. Can he increase his support and can he be convinced to join a future PIS government?

Another leader of the Confederation Crzhishtof Bosak denied the last opportunity on Monday, stating that the two parties would not approach because they were fighting for the same voters.
