The populist-right opposition candidate Karol Nawrocki, backed by the Law and Justice party (PiS), has won Poland’s presidential election, defeating his pro-European rival Rafał Trzaskowski, in a nail-bitingly close contest.
Official results showed Nawrocki took 50.89% of votes in the runoff, with Trzaskowski on 49.11%.
Nawrocki’s victory is a major blow for the coalition government led by Donald Tusk and is expected to prolong the current political deadlock in the country as well as complicate the country’s position in Europe.
Yeah he can veto and has to appoint ambassadors. The previous president didn’t do that out of spite, so we were unable to recall people who should’ve been fired. They sent out people who aren’t ambassadors technically, but fulfill that role.
So yeah, salty rightwingers doing everything to fuck Poland over out of spite. What’s new.
