Tens of thousands of supporters thronged the streets of Warsaw, rallying behind Rafal Trzaskowski, a liberal candidate backed by Prime Minister Donald Tusk. The upcoming presidential elections in Poland are set to be fiercely contested, with Trzaskowski aiming to unseat the nationalist incumbent Andrzej Duda.
The atmosphere was charged, as supporters waved Polish and EU flags, echoing sentiments that this election holds international significance. Under Tusk's leadership, efforts have been made to reverse policies by the ruling nationalist Law and Justice party, criticized by the EU for undermining democracy.
Simultaneously, nationalist candidate Karol Nawrocki's followers gathered, advocating for alignment with U.S. policies under Trump. In a twist, newly-elected Romanian President Nicusor Dan vowed collaboration with Trzaskowski to bolster EU strength, signaling a potential shift in the region's political dynamics.
