Submission Statement: Journalist Stuart Dowell discusses the recent presidential election in Poland, where right-wing candidate Karol Nawrocki won by a slim margin. Despite being vilified by the media and dogged by scandal, Nawrocki rallied nationalist voters and won the election. His victory is expected to lead to obstruction and polarization, as he is likely to use his presidency to weaken the government and block legislation. The article suggests that Nawrocki’s strategy is to amplify existing cracks in the government and wait for it to unravel rather than seeking to govern above politics.
