Right -wing Conservative Karol Navarki has won the presidency for the Polish President. During the election campaign, Navarki faced his intimacy with US President Donald Trump and promised a “Poland First” approach. He opposed Ukraine’s reception to NATO and is considered as suspicion of the European Union. Polish voters opposed the reactions across Europe on Monday morning with the thinnest marginalized marginalized marginalized margins.
Many states and the government congratulated the future Polish President. Among the right -wing political spectrum were Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Hungarian Prime Minister Victor Orban. The latter encouraged a “luxurious victory” and stopped the work of a political alliance, Visgrad Group, consisting of Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic and Slovakia. Other heads of the state and government, including the Lithuanian President Gitanas Naudasa, emphasized general values. French President Emmanuel Macron respects Poland to a “strong, independent, competitive” and “rule of law.”
European Union President Ursula von Der Leyen also sent congratulations. On X, he wrote: “I am confident that the European Union will continue. It is very good cooperation with Poland. We are all stronger together in our community of peace, democracy and value.”
Nawrocki ideologically close to PIS party
Nawrocki officials are non-Pakistani, but entered the campaign for Presidency as a candidate, supported orthodox law and justice (PIS) party ruled Poland between 2015 and 2023. Controversy with Brussels over allegations of destroying the rule of law. This eventually led to a so -called Article 7 process. Article 7 member of the European Union allows for suspension of the rights of the state if it violates the main values of the European Union seriously and repeatedly.
The process was discontinued last year when the country announced that it would implement the necessary changes. As a result, billions of euros were distributed in Poland, due to concerns about the rule of law already frozen money by the European Union. Many Polish government proposals were sitting by President Andrezz Duda, who has a piece inclination. Supervisors hope that this inhibitory stance will continue under the new President. The European Union Commission refused to speculate on possible results. In its daily press briefing, it emphasized its trust in further implementation of Poland reforms and its efforts for the country’s efforts.
Are new tensions adjacent to the European Union in the rule of law?
Daniel Friend, a member of the European Parliament, fears that Poland’s political deadlock will continue. He tells the European Union Commission to correct his “mistake” – release the wealth of the European Union prematurely – and continue to pressurize Poland.
The European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR )’s Warsaw Bureau head Piootr Buras told DW what happened to the European Union Commission in Poland. For example, under the Donald Task, the government saw that illegal laws no longer apply, thus removing the base for Article 7 proceedings. Buras believes that a fresh conflict with the European Union on the rule of law is out of question with the government in power.
How does the ballot affect Poland’s European Union policy?
The political scientist said that according to Buras, the newly elected President does not have a chance to have a direct impact on Poland’s policy of European Union, according to the Polish Constitution it is completely below the government.
As the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, Poland president appoints the government, signs international treaties, and has the power of veto laws. Buras said that it is fine how the Navarki government can interfere in the European Union policy. As soon as the policy of the European Union was to be implemented in the national law, it could block it, which reduced the government room for maneuvers. Buras hopes that the search barrier in issues such as law, abortion, migration and climate policy rules. They stated together that the government was far from progressive in the field of migration and climate policy.
European Union Parliament tore between happiness and doubt
Manfred Weber, president of the Orthodox European People’s Party (EPP) group in the European Parliament, “creatively” Navarki Wood “Creative” with the Poland government for the benefit of the country. For Social Democrats, there is no possibility in the new parliagenary elections, as the right-wing conservative Navarki and “the progressive agenda of the government” wood in the way of each other.
However, right -wing conservative European Orthodox and Reformist (ECR) group, including PIS party of Poland, welcomed Navarki’s election victory. Europe should not have a “community of free nations,” a “machine”, which “ignores people’s will”, said the group’s co-chairman Nikola Prokasini.
However, political scientist Buras believes that Navarki’s election victory was not the same for voting against the European Union. Neither the crushed nor the Navarki had ever called for the Poland to get out of the block. At the same time, Buras said that there was widespread in Poland about sustainable loss of sovereignty and intervention in the internal affairs of the country, and Navarki took advantage of that prevailing mood.
