Today (June 1st) 🇵🇱 Poles go to polls to vote in the second round of presidential elections, which will be decided between two top contenders of the first round:
-
Rafał Trzaskowski of Civic Platform, liberal-centrist mayor of Warsaw (31.4% in the 1st round);
-
Karol Nawrocki, non-partisan but Law & Justice)-supported, right-wing (29.5%)
Most recent polls are tight close (49-50/49-50), so anything can happen and high turnout is expected (it was 67% in the first round).
Polling stations will open at 07:00 and close on 21:00 local time.

I believe the diaspora will make the difference even if they are few
As mentioned before The youth got brainwashed by far right propaganda in the last 20 years. Religion in school the Roman Catholic kind, God, Fatherland Country, Military Uniforms in School, Crused Soldiers all that Far Right crap.
Good luck, Polish brothers! Romania did it, so can you!
Also seems the choice is:
1. A guy that stole an apartment from an old man by threatening to him while in Prison, known for Mafia Ties and connections to local hooligans, caught on TV impersonating another person trying to sell his book and now known for Pimping at the Grand Sopot Hotel. Speaks one language Polish and is tattooed with Football Clubs also known for not lasting more than 30min without SNUS
2. Guy that is a western type liberal for woman’s rights and separation of church and state. Studied in America. speaks 5 languages.
Good luck alll!
From the far right, we’ve heard the same slogans in Romania, “Romania first” and other empty lines borrowed from Trump. It still amazes me how easily people jump on this train, considering that without external support, our countries would be decades behind. The economic growth of the CEE bloc is probably one of the most successful geopolitical projects in recent history.
Stay strong 🇵🇱
On this day, non-Poles wish Poles to make the right choice.
God bless Poland!
I’m legitimately terrified of what the Polish might come up with. I’ll be voting from abroad today.
Dear friends from Poland: choose well, vote wisely and stay on the European path. 🙌
Go vote everyone, we managed to win in Romania by going in massive numbers. You can do it!
