Poland: Trump-backed Nawrocki sworn in as new president DW 08/06/2025
Briefly

Karol Nawrocki took office as Poland's president, advocating for constitutional changes to enhance national sovereignty within the EU and opposing illegal migration and euro adoption. His commitment reflects a push for traditional values amid growing political tensions with Prime Minister Donald Tusk. Nawrocki's election, backed by Donald Trump, ended a political novice's campaign with a narrow victory following scandals, leading to expectations of conflict between his office and the prime ministry. Nawrocki aims for a new constitution by 2030, highlighting concerns over constitutional violations in Poland.
"Recently, the Polish constitution has been violated so regularly that we, as the political class, must begin working on solutions for a new constitution that will be ready for adoption, I hope and believe, in 2030."
Nawrocki vowed to be the voice of Poles who want the country to retain its sovereignty as part of the European Union.
He also opposed illegal migration and joining the euro single currency, underscoring his commitment to conservative principles.
Nawrocki's election victory was a major blow for Prime Minister Donald Tusk, escalating tensions ahead of the 2027 general election.
