As Poland approaches its presidential election on June 1, remaining candidates Rafa Trzaskowski and Karol Nawrocki are neck and neck in voter support. Trzaskowski, from the Civic Coalition, garnered 31.1% of first-round votes, while independent Nawrocki closely follows at 29.5%. With polls indicating almost equal backing for both candidates, tensions rise over key issues like justice reforms and immigration policies. The outgoing president's influence looms large, as voters consider the direction of the nation's governance and social dynamics with a significant Ukrainian refugee presence.
The streets of Warsaw were awash with red-and-white flags last Sunday as presidential hopefuls marched through the capital for one last time before taking polls on June 1.
Currently neck and neck, Trzaskowski and Nawrocki are both vying to succeed the outgoing president, Andrzej Duda, amid contentions over justice reforms and immigration.
