Apartment Allegations Shake Polish Opposition Candidate Nawrocki

Karol Nawrocki, the main opposition candidate for the Polish presidency, faces increasing scrutiny over allegations regarding the acquisition of an apartment from a vulnerable pensioner. The controversy has affected his campaign support, with the prime minister deeming him unfit for office.

Nawrocki, affiliated with the nationalist opposition Law and Justice (PiS) party, stands accused of breaking a promise to provide care in exchange for the apartment. He has dismissed these claims as 'media lies' but pledged to donate the property to charity.

Prime Minister Donald Tusk and PiS leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski have both commented on the scandal, with Tusk criticizing Nawrocki's suitability for high office and Kaczynski alleging secret service interference. Polls show a decrease in voter support for Nawrocki following the scandal.
